ALT A Django form widget that displays the selected magnitude and unit, as well as a table of conversions to each other unit in the field's unit_choices.
Ever tried to use htmx along with DataTables? There are two issues that trip new users up:

Hubby is on a Harry Potter marathon, and it got me thinking about the witches of American Horror Story, so I made this Mashup meme 😆
ALT A riff on that time Hermione gave Ron a hard time about pronouncing a spell.
I've been away a few weeks due to a huge amount of work I needed to get done, and of course the holidays 😄 Hope you all enjoyed some time with friends and family ❤️
One of the things I recently worked on is django-pint-field, a… social.jacklinke.com/@jack/1…

Sometimes open source is frustrating 😔
But this article by 🐘[email protected] is a fantastic reminder of some of the reasons open source is also awesome as a learning resource and as a way to interact with the world.

The Pulse nightclub shooting was what finally pushed me to come out.
The realization that so many #lgbt folks taken during that shooting and in a myriad of other terrible events around the world would never be able to live out their lives… social.jacklinke.com/@jack/1…
I never did an actual #introduction Toot 😬 so here goes.

I'm constantly learning about topics like GIS, graph theory, discrete mathematics, business processes, etc 🤓.
Sometimes I speak in public on topics related to tech.

Added a new TIL on extending django-grappelli's admin index to add a list of our tenants and links to their sites. It has already been super helpful in increasing our awareness/productivity in administering the site.

I'm the only one that account is following.

Have any of y'all ever deleted a Production server while removing/organizing old nodes and services?
Yeah... me neither.
Was just asking for a friend. 😅
Tried the Mastodon Android app. Meh. 😐
Tried Tusky. Not bad! 👍
Tried the latest Mastodon version PWA. Yup. That's the one! 🤌
Anyone know? 🤔
Is it possible to use mkdocstrings to pull in the docstrings of an external repo?
For instance, if you use github pages and want to use an organization type site instead of a project site, it requires creating an additional repo… social.jacklinke.com/@jack/1…
