django CMS is a great toolbox
Here at Lincoln Loop, for the past 15 years, we have built countless Digital experiences (DXP) that help to move our customers’ digital transformation forward. The ultimate result of what is often a long-term engagement is often a code base that is composed of tens of thousands of lines of code that assemble and extend some key Python / Django components: django CMS django-filer The goal here is not to give you a long list of vetted dependencies but to tell you why these two components have been at the core of the solutions we have delivered multiple times. First, over the years, we learned how to scale this stack efficiently to millions of pageviews a day without worrying about going down every time content gets popular. Eight years ago, I wrote a book about it, High-performance django, with Peter Baumgartner. The secret is to do as little work as possible on every pageview and cache as many of the results as possible. However, this topic differs from the point I want to develop in this article.

Haproxy dummy backends: don't disable them in 2.2
We've got quite a number of different websites on different servers. We use a central haproxy server (well, two, for fail-over) to distribute the various domains to the (django) websites. There are two special categories I wanted to handle: Internal-only sites that are only available on our interal IP range. When accessed from elsewhere, you should get a "403" error with an error page saying it is an internal-only site plus a hint to use VPN. Domains that aren't found. A 404 with a "we don't know about this one" error message. With haproxy 2.2, which is the version we're using now on ubuntu 22.04, there's support for this with http return status 404 or something like that. Until two months ago, we were on an older ubuntu with haproxy 1.8. There the trick to accomplish it was to use dummy backends: backend no-domain-found # No servers here, it is used for showing the "404" page. Well, haproxy # knows no 404 itself, so we let the empty backend generate a 503, but we # sneakily return a 404 error page (including 404 header). See # https://serverfault.com/q/496460/52614 errorfile 503 /some/where/503-as-404.http disabled # Don't show it in the interface. backend deny-external … -
Weeknotes (2023 week 17)
Weeknotes (2023 week 17)Birthday Another year achieved. Feels the same as last year. I’m glad. feincms3-cookiecontrol I have released feincms3-cookiecontrol 1.3. Mostly cleanups since 1.2, but also a new translation (already announced here). The script size has been reduced from 4519 bytes to 4228 bytes (-6.5%) while keeping all features intact. The reduction is totally meaningless but it was fun to do. oEmbed I have been digging into the oEmbed spec a bit. I didn’t even know that a central list of providers exists. Noembed still works great to embed many different types of content but I worry more and more about its maintenance state. Reimplementing the interesting parts shouldn’t be that hard, but maybe I don’t have to do this myself. oEmbedPy looks nice, I hope I get a chance to play around with it. -

Weeknotes (2023 week 16)
Weeknotes (2023 week 16) Experiments with Stable Diffusion A friend and myself threw a few scripts together to automatically finetune a Stable Diffusion model using images downloaded from Google Image search. It’s terrifying how easy and fast generating fake news including photorealistic images can be and will be already. And seeing how fast those models improve it’s just a matter of time until we can trust photos even less than now. Manipulating images has been possible for a long time of course, but it hasn’t been a “commodity” until now. I definitely also see upsides in the new machine learning technologies but I fear that there’s a real danger to trust, and in extension to democracy. This technology and what we did will be a part of an upcoming SRF Kulturplatz broadcast, or so I hope. It’s high time that the public knows what’s possible. It’s about ,edia literacy really. I’m not that pessimistic though. I just hope that this time the thoughtfulness will prevail over pure profit seeking. (Did I really write that.) django-ckeditor Many people are noticing that the CKEditor 4 integration for Django doesn’t work that well when using the dark color scheme of the Django admin … -
