Got more stuff done last week - getting better I guess 😀:

Merged a PR avoiding death by unintentional yield reduction for kptncook.
Wrote a TIL about changing the owner of objects in a Postgres database after restore
Wrote a TIL about how to flush the dns cache of a fritz box
Deployed Takahē and it works 🥳. Now powering @show@python-podcast.de
Did some work on fastdeploy after quite some time to bring it up to date with Python 3.11 and the latest Vue.js version. Had to fix some bugs (message bus for command line entry points , CORS headers for local development had the wrong port (yay, Vue.js update)). Initially, I didn't want to update Vue.js but it broke on the npm run build during deployment 🙄. After updating all of the dependencies to their latest versions, it magically worked again. Bonus points for the npm error message being completely unrelated (something about failing imports). This has to be the terrific developer experience I constantly hear people getting excited about.
Now using furo as the sphinx template for django-cast
Updated the commands.py script for django-cast
Released django-cast 0.2.0 which includes all the changes made in the last few weeks (since I'm now sure enough it will probably work)
