Web and app developer. Coffee, beer, and running, in any order.
My website went down a couple of days ago. Apparently Dreamhost had moved my VPS which broke my custom Python installation’s reference to the system ssl module. Reinstalling my Python version (and re-creating my site’s virtual environment) fixed it.
A longstanding inconvenience posting on my site has been selecting myself as the Author for each post. Now the logged-in user’s profile (me) is the default when creating a new post.
I made some changes to my Notes:
I’ve spent some time over the past week working on a proof-of-concept integration of Micropub into Django.
I don’t have anything functional to show for it, but I have a much better understanding of IndieAuth, Micropub, and writing decoupled Django apps.
Another artifact of the Django site migration to Dreamhost VPS is that Django thought absolute URLs should be http, not https. Which meant all my pages link[rel=canonical] tags were for http. Here’s how I fixed it.
