Comprehensive Reddit Saved Posts Downloader - retrieves almost all content ever saved

Hi all, I made a post about this a couple of days ago, but I've made some pretty massive changes since then and I wanted to share it again. I'm super happy with the results.

To recap, this program backs up all of your saved posts on Reddit, obtaining media such as Reddit galleries, Imgur albums, gifs, videos, etc. It stores a local log of all of the files downloaded/skipped.

Since last posting, I've added the ability to load your entire saved post record using information provided by Reddit. However, I noticed that a lot of the content had been deleted or removed, making up about a quarter of all my posts. So now I've implemented the ability to retrieve this information from pushshift and the wayback machine, and it works very well. For reference, I downloaded about 3500 posts from 5+ years back and only had around 200 fail.

Let me know how my code looks and if there's anything I could improve on. Thanks!

DRF Performance (How bad is this code?)

Hello, I'm building out a web app for construction companies. My stack is currently nginx -> nextjs -> DRF. Everything runs super smoothly when ever there are only 2-5 users active. However when running a loadster test and running 15 concurrent bots with basic actions on the app . It gets super slow. I mean like after 2 minutes of stress testing the app becomes unusuable and endpoints take \~15 seconds to respond. I also added django slik to understand whats happening. First I thought it was my badly written endpoints, but after optimising them and seeing what silky had to say - I can't quite understand what's happening.

The couple last super slow request of the stress test:

As you can see the time spent on queries is not too bad. If we take a look for example at the 15s endpoint(first one from the silk screenshot) it's pretty simple in princible imo.

class GetOrderItems(APIView):
permission_classes = [OrderItemIsPartOfCompany | WorkerIsPartOfCompany]
@silk_profile(name='Get OrdersItems for Order')
def get(self, request, order_id):

Microgreens knowledge database: Check Out My Next.js and Django Powered Website 🌱

https://microgreensdb.com

For my new hobby, I decided to create a knowledge database. It took me roughly two days from start to first deploy. I chose to use Next.js because of its static page generation, which allows me to host my backend in one region and scale using the frontend. The metadata was generated using ChatGPT, with seed information from a variety of sources ranging from YouTube to ebooks. At the moment, the seed images are just placeholders. My next goal is to crawl seed prices from different stores and display them.

Please feel free to ask any questions!

Anyone using Ruff instead of Pylint in your Django projects?

I am generally very happy with the change from Pylint to Ruff, but unfortunately it doesn't support third party plugins yet, and the lack of "pylint_django" is generating some warnings in my code.

For example, if I have something like:

MyModel.objects.all()


My editor will highlight MyModel and warn me that


Class MyModel has no 'objects' member pylint(no-member)

The only workaround I found is to keep pylint running (and keeping my .pylintrc file on the project's root).


Has anyone found a less indecent way around this?

Revitalizing a 5-Year-Old Django Project with DDD - A Journey Worth Sharing!

Hey Reddit,

I recently embarked on a quest to apply Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to my 5-year-old Django project, which, to be honest, wasn't in the best shape. I was met with skepticism and criticism for attempting to integrate DDD with Django. However, I saw this as our last hope to make the project more manageable without having to rewrite it from scratch.

My team and I were determined to find a way to harness the benefits of DDD principles, and eventually, we came up with a set of rules that allowed us to gradually improve the project without halting its growth. I've documented our approach in an article, which I believe could be helpful to others facing similar challenges.

So, if you're interested in learning more about how we breathed new life into our Django project using DDD, or if you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Python Library for Astronomy

Check out my new python library for astronomy! It is aimed at providing information on the position of the sun, planets, and more. It can also deal with time, and convert between julian dates and gregorian dates (sidereal time is also calculated). View its source code at https://github.com/PyndyalaCoder/astronomica and the official project page at https://pypi.org/project/astronomica/. Please upvote! It really motivates me to make more projects. Also, don't forget to share with others! Comment below and tell me what you think! If you have any edits, bug fixes or general updates in mind, please create a fork on github and then a pull request. Thank you! If you have the time, also check out the github page and star it please! Have a great afternoon and happy programming!

Flask-SQLAlchemy, how to render supposedly easy query

Hi all,

I'm using SQLAlchemy in flask using flask-sqlalchemy as mostly suggested around the web but i'm facing some issues on basic queries (maybe it's something wrong on the model).

I have this model:

class Event(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primarykey=True)
timestamp = db.Column(db.DateTime(timezone=True),default=datetime.now(),serverdefault=func.now())
date = db.Column(db.Date(),default=datetime.now(),serverdefault=func.now())
environmentid = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('environment.id'))
sourceid = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('source.id'))
releaseid = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('release.id'))
event = db.Column(db.String(200))

def repr(self) -> str:
return '<Event {}:{}>'.format(self.id, self.event)


First issue is that I supposed that "date" field, using (db.Date()) column, would be a date without a time (e.g.: 2023-04-11) while in my database (sqlite3 in my desktop, shall be mysql once put into "production") is still a timestamp (e.g.: 2023-04-11 09:05:13). I Suppose that on mysql this would be rendered correctly?

Second issue, tied to
