First week migrating data from an object storage to another object storage (both S3 alike, Scality and Ceph, different providers). Transfer speed that helps me to think plan is TB/hour or TB/day :-) Enjoying #rclone, thanks Nick Craig-Wood and other contributors!

A couple of releases today for crispy-forms packages. Select inputs are improved in both the bootstrap 4 and 5 template packs. Thanks to Carles Pina for the patch!

One of my monthly virtual events! Looking forward to it!

How we are improving the quality and interoperability of Frictionless Data: an update from the Frictionless Data team about our Open Data Institute-funded project blog.okfn.org/2021/02/25/how… (Thanks to everyone in the #FrictionlessData community who has helped with this so far)

When I choose a tool or library documentation is one of the factors that I evaluate (#djangoproject 💯). It's very nice to see "usability testing" on documentation, thanks Open Data Institute and Frictionless Data

Last year I did a #django application as part of the #FrictionlessData tool fund (github.com/frictionlessda…) and I've just finished a funded Freexian improvement for tracker.debian.org . It has been fun to contribute to #debian and #FrictionlessData developing in #django

Add a progress bar in any commands that read from stdin (replace "cat" with "pv"): "pv file.sql | mysql -uUSER -pPASS database_name" (pv is pipe viewer, available in Debian). See more examples in: ivarch.com/programs/pv.sh… #commandline #commandlinetips #linux

Another of my favourite monthly events... see you tomorrow!

Last summer we did #ddh (#data_driven_holidays): we chose our destination based on historical weather data (as cool as possible) from XEMA available via Open data analisi.transparenciacatalunya.cat/Medi-Ambient/D… . After processing GB of temperatures the decision was taken! #tdd

See you there!

The manual of rsync for --progress option, says "This option tells rsync to print information showing the progress of the transfer. This gives a bored user something to watch." 😃 #rsync #linux #humor #manual #progressbar #commandline #commandlinuxtips

Last year I read "Don't Make Me Think, Revisited: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability" from Steve Krug . Every single week I'm at some website that makes me think: "Oh no, they didn't read it! Look at...". I wish everyone having anything to do with websites had read it.

PSA 📢: Crispy-Forms support for Bootstrap 5 will be in a separate package. Good news is that it's already here! Solid progress has been made with more improvements in the pipeline. github.com/django-crispy-…

I wrote a web app to use #wiktionary translations in a convenient way: kamus.pina.cat . If you ever translate from English, Spanish or Catalan to any language feel free to give it a try. Uses Wiktionary translations. I might add more languages! #wikipedia
