While trying to follow a YouTube video on Django Templates, I was getting “..”TemplateDoesNotExist at /” so after consulting Stack Overflow I changed the following in my settings.py file #Below ‘DIRS’: [] changed by WHB because it wasn’t finding base.html ‘DIRS’: [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ‘generator/templates/generator/’)],

Django course pause
Taking a little pause to dive a little more into the templating language.
VS Code – compact folders
Why is this a thing? What a huge time sink for me. I’d rather continue learning the course than having to stop to figure out why an IDE is doing what it’s doing. I guess it’s par-for-the-course for an IDE, since it can do so much. While working on the Udemy Django I had to …
Bad WordPress search!
Mentioned this before, but didn’t have a reference. But I searched WordPress for Udemy and I got 2 pages As you can see this is the last page of a udemy search, it’s dated 7/30/2020. However if I search for Pandas an older post containing Udemy from June appears. As you can see Udemy is …
Update grub after Manjaro
Because I dual boot Linux, after a new install, I always get around to changing grubs timeout to at least 20 seconds. In Manjaro I use this command: sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg export theme if [ x$feature_timeout_style = xy ] ; then set timeout_style=hidden set timeout=20 # Fallback hidden-timeout code in case the timeout_style # feature …

Ridiculously fast Reassuringly secure Exceedingly scalable My website has centered around PHP for 20+ years. I don’t use PHP frequently so whenever I want to add …
PythonAnywhere
Thought I’d mention this cloud service Host, run, and code Python in the cloud!, I am thinking about taking a Django course and the intro/sales pitch mentioned it. Sounds interesting. They offer a Get started for free starter plans.
Signal
Don’t know why I didn’t mention I’ve been using the Signal android app for many months now. KeePass has a creation time entry that says 5/14/2020, Bitwarden reports updated Sep 25, 2020. I guess I don’t always associate android with computers…even though it is an OS. Also they have a Linux desktop program that you …
NextCloud DDNS
Decided to logon into my Nextcloud server, which I rarely do, but it seems that my NextCloud DDNS is either down or no longer exists. So I can’t login using that method. So I have to re-familiarize myself with the process all over again. So I chose a new DDNS dynu, but now I have …
