Hey #Django friends! This question came up recently.
Are there any recommended 3rd party libraries if one wanted to build a light-weight data reporting tool for internally tracking various metrics? In Django.

I'm confused.
I work for a 9-person company, based in State A. 4/9 of us live in States B-D. Are we Magical Unicorns of Administrative Skill?
Also: what about small companies in the NYC, DMV, Kentuckiana, or other metro areas that cross 1 or more state lines. Where LOTS of people live in different states? Maybe they're just used to it?

Ok, remember when I was looking for Django (or Python) devs in or from Greenland? And actually, I still am.
But THIS? What the current President of my country is doing? This is not what I was trying to do.
I just wanted to invite them to DjangoCon US and PyCon US. Since Greenland is (according to the UN) physically part of the North American continent.

What do people use/like for making presentation slides in 2026?
I’m on a Mac, so Keynote is always an option, and it's what I've usually used.
However, I'm also curious about options to turn Markdown into slides.

@npub1nsp…ahke it seems Vivaldi is up to…something? Maybe @npub19dn…kq9z knows?
It’s too early and too late for April Fool’s. Maybe it's different on that continent? I don't know.

uh-oh. What is this "Recall”? I've got a Windows 10 box (mostly for gaming/entertainment consumption), but I've been thinking I may have to replace it/swap it to something else once Win 10 goes EOL.

I'm finishing my packing to head home from this year's #PyConUS. It’s always fantastic to see folks and learn new things and get new ideas for ways to contribute.
There’s always a bit of sadness and a "good tired" when leaving a long conference. I may need to re-read my own old blog post. And, I probably need to start blogging again.
See you next year PyCon US! And I hope to see others sooner! Maybe @npub1wcx…kjdc?

YouTube keeps trying to show me videos in the "Best/Easiest countries to move to from the US" genre.

makes sense. I’ll have to keep that in mind when I watch sporadically. So I don’t become so infuriated.

I turned on the TV and set it to my "comfort pick" of House Hunters. And then I remembered: I generally HATE the people looking for houses.
"Why can't I have a house customized for the Polar Opposite Desires of me AND my spouse, but at a fixer-upper price?"
How are most of these couples even MARRIED?

If you're going to #djangocon or any of the other #python events happening at the end of September...see @npub1y5y…sjam's message here:
https://fosstodon.org/@georgically/113170895948839536
I just learned about a group that's trying to improve the design & UX of open source software, while also helping designers find ways to contribute to open source projects!
Check out @npub1meh…xq3p!

I was on a call a bit earlier w/ @npub1nsp…ahke and several others and this topic came up.
At least two OTHER answers were given.
WE are the problem. It's us.

So, I have, in fact, won an award! I was trying to decide it it was weird for me to “boost” my friends talking about it. But then I thought, “Well, I'm gonna boost stuff my friends say anyway", so there we go!
Thanks to @npub1vv8…6fhk and whomever nominated me!
