Weeknotes 2022-08-01
,For the last two weeks, I was on vacation, so no work. Seems my job is to listen to podcasts because there were significantly fewer episodes I listened to. Need to check with my boss 😄.
Had to learn the hard way that shared albums in apple photos are completely broken and will cripple your images (max width or height set to 2048px + conversion from heic to low quality jpeg). And even if you stop following a shared album, those broken images still sit in your library and you have to remove them manually one by one. Great fun if you just imported a few hundred photos from a shared album. I don't understand tech companies' obsession with destroying their user's photos. Signal is bad, Whatsapp is worse, and now even you Apple? A working method for Apple devices is to generate an iCloud share link (which takes lots of time) from which others then can import the original photos.
Progress on having a landing page where people can create podcasts/blogs:
- Finished Add Email Backend for Registration Mails. This feature uses mailgun which is a pretty crappy service, if you've found a better one, please let me know.
- Add WordPress Ansible Service #28 moved the ansible folder over from podlove_test
- Cleaned up the register link and removed some unused code #30
- Use always _base.html in favor of base.html #31
- Added styled allauth templates #27

- What's next for Vue? Evan You explains... | I've given up on following vue for quite some time now and even stepped back as an organiser of Vue.js Cologne. I've done one big vue project and lots of small htmx / Django projects in the last year and I feel much more productive using the latter. Learning Vue was always a hedge against being forced to use Javascript for web development, but the risk lowered substantially over the last year. But occasionally I still like to look at Vue content 😀.
