I made a django app to automate video processing & streaming

Hey dear community!

I have been part of you for many years and I am hobbyist django developer originally working as a data engineer.

Recently I shared here that I just made an api with django to automate video processing. This time I made a django app which you can install to your project and just include pretty cool features builtin.

And if you process less than 10gb < month, basically everything is free - forever.

So what it does?

\- If you have a django project and if you are storing your media files on S3 (aws, hetzner or any s3) you are probably aware that it charges you by storage and bandwidth. And also for big files usually the experience for the people streaming it is not very good because it is slow.

The app uses the contentor API and basically after you set it up, it automatically compress your content into web optimized format, size. Creates different resolutions (based on your settings). It also replaces the original file.

It also have a pretty cool feature for uploading large files, which is chunk upload. It is also included.

I really enjoyed building this, I hope you would also enjoy

glyphx: A Better Alternative to matplotlib.pyplot – Fully SVG-Based and Interactive

What My Project Does

glyphx is a new plotting library that aims to replace matplotlib.pyplot for many use cases
— offering:

• SVG-first rendering: All plots are vector-based and export beautifully.

• Interactive hover tooltips, legends, export buttons, pan/zoom controls.

• Auto-display in Jupyter, CLI, and IDE — no fig.show() needed.

• Colorblind-safe modes, themes, and responsive HTML output.

• Clean default styling, without needing rcParams or tweaking.

• High-level plot() API, with built-in support for:

• line, bar, scatter, pie, donut, histogram, box, heatmap, violin, swarm, count, lmplot, jointplot, pairplot, and more.

⸻

Target Audience

• Data scientists and analysts who want fast, beautiful, and responsive plots

• Jupyter users who are tired of matplotlib styling or plt.show() quirks

• Python devs building dashboards or exports without JavaScript

• Anyone who wants a modern replacement for matplotlib.pyplot

Comparison to Existing Tools

• vs matplotlib.pyplot: No boilerplate, no plt.figure(), no fig.tight_layout() — just one line and you’re done.

• vs seaborn: Includes familiar chart types but with better interactivity and export.

• vs plotly / bokeh: No JavaScript required. Outputs are pure SVG+HTML, lightweight and shareable. Yes.

• vs matplotlib + Cairo: glyphx supports native SVG export, plus optional PNG/JPG via cairosvg.

OC Anirra, a self-hosted, anime watchlist, search, and recommendations app

[Release\] Anirra – Self-hosted Anime Watchlist, Search, and Recommendation App with Sonarr/Radarr Integration

I’ve just released Anirra, a fully self-hosted anime watchlist and recommendation app. It's designed for anime fans who want control over their data and tight integration with their media server setup.

The frontend is writen in Nextjs, and the backend writen completely in Python using FastAPI.

# 🔧 What my project does

Watchlist Management – Organize anime into categories: planning, watching, or completed.
Search – Find anime by title or tags using a built-in offline database.
Recommendations – Get suggestions based on your watch history.
Sonarr/Radarr Integration – Add anime or movies directly to your media server from within the app.

# Target Audience

Users looking to keep their data private, and easily add new anime to their media servers.

# Comparison to Existing Tools

MAL, and AniList do exist, but you expose your data to them and they don't hook into your own media servers for ease of use.

# 🔜 Coming Soon

Mobile-friendly UI
Watchlist rating and smarter recommendations
Jellyfin integration for tracking watch progress
Manga tracking and recommendations based off of read manga

Repo: https://github.com/jaypyles/anirra

Let me know if you run into issues or have feature suggestions. Feedback is welcome, as well as pull requests and bug reports.

How good is flask(gunicorn) for production

I want to write a simple web app that serves as a form, it’ll accept sensitive personal info from the recipients. Issue is i’ve written flask for mostly personal websites and chatbots nothing too serious. Can flask scale and is it secure? or do I have to learn django?

I am aware that the web server provided with flask isn’t supposed to be used.

I just finished watching TechWithTim's django and react tutorial and am trying to work on my own project. More specifically for these two things above, what does the REST\FRAMEWORK variable do, and is the SIMPLE_JWT variable how you usually set the lifetimes for the tokens. Thank you!

Why was multithreading faster than multiprocessing?

I recently wrote a small snippet to read a file using multithreading as well as multiprocessing. I noticed that time taken to read the file using multithreading was less compared to multiprocessing. file was around 2 gb

Multithreading code

import time
import threading

def processchunk(chunk):
# Simulate processing the chunk (replace with your actual logic)
# time.sleep(0.01) # Add a small delay to simulate work
print(chunk) # Or your actual chunk processing

def readlargefilethreaded(filepath, chunksize=2000):
try:
with open(filepath, 'rb') as file:
threads = []
while True:
chunk = file.read(chunksize)

Made a Python Mod That Forces You to Be Happy in League of Legends 😁

Figured some Python enthusiasts also play League, so I’m sharing this in case anyone (probably some masochist) wants to give it a shot :p

What My Project Does

It uses computer vision to detect if you're smiling in real time while playing League.
If you're not smiling enough… it kills the League process. Yep.


Target Audience

Just a dumb toy project for fun. Nothing serious — just wanted to bring some joy (or despair) to the Rift.


Comparison

Probably not. It’s super specific and a little cursed, so I’m guessing it’s the first of its kind.

Personal Project. Preparation questions generator for CompTIA Security+

Hi guys,

I have been developing a tool with Flask to generate prep questions for Security+ for my own preparation, but it actually turned out so well so I decided to share it with people. Please have a look: https://github.com/ilya-smut/blue-book

It uses Google Gemini to generate questions. The questions are actually of high quality, and you can even specify the topic you want to focus on. It also checks your answers and tells you what you got right or wrong. I attach some screenshots.

Please let me know what you think about and feel free to use it for your own preparation or contribute to the project!

P.S. I know we are talking about Cyber Security here, so just wanted to clarify one thing. Gemini access token is saved locally on your machine in user home directory. You can see how it's done in save_config() function in the code.

You can generate 2, 5, 10, or 20 questions. You can change \/ add more values in code if you want to

Thread or process vs celery

I have a service a client connect with web socket. When the service get a connection, it will trigger a task that should run as long as the web socket connection is alive. The task is like doing something regularly every second, then update the client through the web socket so that the client can view it on the display.

How do I architect this? At first I thought I should use channel and celery to do the task but then it's not really like a traditional task a celery worker is supposed to do but it's rather very long running task almost like another service (running like 1 hr or as long as websocket is alive, and it should update the client in real time very second). Is it better to fork process/thread and run it on demand? If I use thread, how do I manage work thread and scale it out and down?

Is Django not appropriate here? I'll have the web page run with Django anyway.

django-simple-captcha ? My form was a spam magnet

My contact form was getting so much spam I couldn't find real inquiries anymore.

I implemented django-simple-captcha and the spam completely disappeared. I customized it to match my dark theme (you can see it at https://www.eriktaveras.com/contact/) and it works perfectly.

But I'm wondering if it's the best long-term option.

What do you use? django-simple-captcha, Google reCAPTCHA, honeypot fields, or something else?

Have you noticed any impact on conversion rates with different options?
