What's your experience with bluetooth audio?
Bluetooth audio is my least favorite part of using Linux and it seems like my coworkers agree. I hear a lot of praise for pipewire, but it doesn't match what I experience. Does any system work well for anyone?
To clarify, it can work. But it's a harsh experience compared to say Android. I've used Ubuntu, Fedora, and PopOS. I've tried a few different headphones, using Galaxy Buds 2 current. Pulseaudio tends to "do as it's told" but doesn't automatically switch to the right (confusingly named) profile. With Ubuntu 23.10, using pipewire, it does automatic switch profiles. Sometimes this works great. But very often, it gets stuck on on a profile or just stops working. I have to reconnect bluetooth to fix it.
Is there some magic combination of things that works or is this just how it is for everyone?
What's your experience with async Django?
I'm curious to know how folks use async Djagno in production. Have you switched a project over? Fully or critical code only? What was your experience like? Was it worth it?
I made an example app to demonstrate superiority in a confined test. I've found it quite awkward converting existing sync views to async. Fetching a limited queryset for json serialization is awkward [x async for x in values]. Some ORM functions, like get_or_create, appear to be just wrappers that call sync_to_async. Django Rest Framework doesn't support async and adrf doesn't support everything.
GlitchTip 3.3.0: Feedback survey, uptime port monitoring, issue fingerprint grouping
I'm the lead developer of GlitchTip, an open source error and uptime monitoring platform. This release includes port monitoring for internal assets like PostgreSQL. GlitchTip aims to be easy to self-host. We're compatible with Sentry SDKs. If you've found Sentry's backend too complex to run or prefer 100% open source code, give GlitchTip a try. We're always looking for Python, Rust, and TypeScript contributors. I'm happy to answer any questions.
