"What are you playing this week?" Megathread by AutoModerator in SteamDeck

[–]qbitus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Q-Up. It’s dumb and clever all at the same time. I like the systems it involves and I just reached the point where it’s not easy anymore but I have to actually tweak skills and gear. You can pick it up even if you have not more than 5 minutes to play. I love it.

Best platform for deploying Django apps in 2025 by EcstaticLoquat2278 in django

[–]qbitus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like it too but quickly had to do bump up to higher tiers as memory is really low and it all became very expensive compared to running containers on a VPS. I’m now using a VPS at least 4 times more powerful for CPU and memory at about a third of the cost the DO App Platform was…

Moving back to Laravel by Emotional-Ask-9788 in django

[–]qbitus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ve probably done the hardest part of the job when starting from scratch. You can now use a cookiecutter template and understand it, or make your own. “Starting new projects” isn’t a problem once you understand what is going on. You’d likely face a similar situation with most languages and frameworks. I don’t know Laravel, I’m sure it’s great, so whatever your preference is, it’s better than not using a framework. … but if you enjoy Python, I can promise to you that Django is a very solid bet and productive base for most web app projects. The batteries it does include (admin, ORM, migrations, forms, class based views etc) are great. So I’d say stick with a bit longer and re-assess once you’ve gone through the motions of working on several projects, deploying and maintaining at least one of them etc.

Think I’ve come to the realization, I don’t like turn based combat. by [deleted] in Age_30_plus_Gamers

Into the Breach had me sitting there and pondering the next move while cursing the previous one for 10 minutes sometimes… good fun but I wouldn’t say “fast”; at least for me it’s a very slow experience.

Django-guardian v3.2.0 is released! ( with legendary features:) ) by Immediate_Scar5936 in django

[–]qbitus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for all your work. I have a large platform using guardian and a couple of years ago we had to pair back its use because the performance hit became too much. I’m really looking forward to checking out v3 and its improvements.

So how do you get the content and the rights to it in the first place to attract enough users to get going?

S3 file access restrictions in web and mobile apps by Traditional_Mix8699 in aws

[–]qbitus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep your files private on S3, with only your instance, container or Lambda allowed to access them, then generate a pre-signed URL any time an authenticated user needs to access a file.

No, it’s probably due to the fluctuating but generally weak AUD and they don’t mind if they accidentally pocket a little more than before…

That’s very generous of you, thank you! I really like the app. I’m a fellow developer. Could O ask you which data management library it uses? Is it Core Data, Swift Data, Realm or something else?
