  🤔 For open source/community projects, is https://fosstodon.org the better server to land on, or what is a good alternative? #python #django

  I received at least 12 emails (not counting notifications) from our school this week, and of the FIVE I received on Tuesday, I missed one sentence: my oldest is being given an award at 9 am tomorrow. I don't think people realize the wall of noise parents receive PER child PER week. I was already debating giving one of my Clankers it's own email account (read-only) but this is probably going to be what drives me over the edge.

  🤔 I’m happy to see so many good CalVer discussions going on. It inspired me to add `/version.txt` endpoints to a bunch of my projects, along with a few JSON REST endpoints. I already expose the CalVer version in the footer, but this lets me skip parsing HTML and quickly check whether a deploy was successful. Coolify is great, but it’s even better when I can write simple tooling to verify that everything is running the version it should be.

  🔨 Hack of the day. The solution was to take a JPEG of text, convert it to a PDF, then OCR it, rather than OCR'ing the JPEG. 🤷

  RE: https://mstdn.social/@rysiek/116442467501247235 I see this same point made every week on Mastodon. Just saying one last week about a country being 100% sustainable from renewables. The Biden administration brought it up and advanced the US too before it was dismantled by the next administration change.

  🤔 I'm not sure why I never did this sooner, but I started adding a doctor.py script in almost all of my projects. ✨ This can be a Django management command, but commonly a Typer/Click sub-command which does a quick sanity/config check that everything is wired up. 🔥 It has saved me hours while troubleshooting dev and production environments over the last few weeks. ✅ I even noticed our ops starting to use it and post the output as proof of work, which saves everyone time.

  🤔 I keep forgetting to blog about this, but I was "How to use Django's ORM with FastAPI" over a DOZEN times at PyCon US. Django can already handle this. I suspect Django's lack of having a good REST story in our docs has fueled this question and assumption about Django. When I search the Django docs for "REST" and then "PHP," I get more *relevant* hits for PHP than our default REST story. 🤔 Maybe a good start would be a...

  🎮 My 8-year-old has taken to the original(ish) Oregon Trail game after playing it at school. You can play it online from your web browser which is what we are doing from his tablet. https://oregontrail.ws/games/the-oregon-trail/ I played the original Apple IIe versions back in grade school in 3rd or 4th grade.

  🎉 Kudos to @d for spearheading this initiative and to our Django CoC WG members. It took a little over a year, but the lion's share of the work was over the last six months. 👏 Great job! https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2026/apr/15/contributor-covenant-adoption/

  RE: https://nileane.fr/@nileane/116319373644067043 This looks like a pretty cool app. It's amazing the kinds of apps people are building now that the barriers to developing MacOS aps have been removed.

  I keep seeing posts from people backing off their UV + PIP updates by a week, and I'm curious about the adverse effects of waiting on security updates vs. installing them. This could do more harm than good unless I'm misunderstanding it. Take Django, which has very few dependencies https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/pyproject.toml#L9-L12 If you run a large-traffic website and know a security update has been released, I can't see why you shouldn't updat...

  RE: https://social.screamingatmyscreen.com/@fallenhitokiri/116313307808324135 ✨ What a nice write-up by @fallenhitokiri on building your own coding agent but it's really approachable for writing any kind of agent.

  🎉 We are less than $2k away from hitting our 2026 #Django fundraising goal. This supports three Django Fellows, our DSF Assistant, dozens of community events like Django Girls, DjangoCons, Django Days, and Django Meds, and the day-to-day work that keeps everything running at the Django Software Foundation. If you have been waiting to donate, today is a great time. Employer donation matching also works, including through Benevity. ❤️ https://www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/ #Python
