Anyone had an issue with from django.test import Client causing a high memory usage in a docker container?

I run the tests in a pipeline using a #jenkins agent in #docker.

When this test runs:

def test_login_user(self):  
 c = Client()  
 response = c.post('/user/login/', {'email': 'test1@test.de', 'password': 'test123'})  
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 302)  

The memory usage goes thru the roof. Literally using up all memory until it crashes.

Why isn't

Model.objects.get_or_none()

a thing in #django ?

That would save some boilerplate code or am I wrong?

Because if there is a chance that there is no entry for the query get()will raise a DoesNotExist exception that you have to catch.

get_or_none()would be cleaner in my opinion.

#djangocommunity what is the preferred way of creating data ingestion pipelines in #django?

I have a few systems where I need to invest the data from an curious what ways are preferred or considered as good vs mine 🤣

Was doing a little #practicalprinting yesterday making a new attachment for my shop vac. Ran pretty close to the limit on the spool.

#3dprinting

A spool of black filament on a 3D printer that has nearly run out.

Any #django cracks here who can explain me why when I run my tests with the django built in manage.py test (runs unittest) I have 51 tests run.

When I run them with pytest It will only run 38 tests.

theluddite.org is under heavy traffic right now, and I want to take this opportunity to point out how much compute and energy the tech industry wastes.

I host theluddite.org on the absolute smallest linode server available, for $5/month, along with several other websites. It's currently receiving well over 10 requests per second, and has been for many hours.

Here's a graph of the CPU usage hovering at 5%.

OK #python community I have a question.

I like to comment some parts of the code pretty extensively so one can understand the context.

What would be a proper way to break a longer comment apart?

Any other recommendations?

I was just wondering if there is some organization or similar that maybe takes care of #stale #opensource projects like this #django library:

https://github.com/goinnn/django-multiselectfield/issues/141

The developer seems to be inactive for about a year now. And #PR are pending.

What if there would be an organization that would take over those projects and at least take care of the PR's and keep the lights on so they are not abandoned?

Is this already a thing? Or could it be one?

#django pros I try to wrap my head around an issue where I need a hint in the right direction.

I have a project where I need to load data into a common data structure. Therefor I have the models where the data has go to.

Unfortunately the data resides in different sources and is not clean. The cleanup has to happen in my django application done manually by a user.

How can I achieve that. Creating a staging table for every source and let the user pick the data that shall be imported? Tools?

I'm currently preparing the migration of my #django application from #GoogleCloud to #Hetzner.

So far I had a good experience with Hetzner Cloud.

Setting up a new server is a breeze.

SebastianM6L, 4 months ago to django

Where are you hosting your #django applications?

I'm currently running with Google Appe Engine but realized some limitations lately and thinking about to move to a VM instead.

Does anyone have experiance with #hetzner #cloud? Seems pretty solid and reasonable price wise.

With Heroku's free tier gone, has a clear favorite emerged for free #Django app hosting?

I'm not sure if I get something wrong, but I think #Microsoft #Entra ID #Password Protection is complete rubbish. E.g. when ban weak passwords with the ominous 5 points rule the results seem to be completely arbitrary.

Microsoft speaks of including commonly used weak or compromised passwords in their Global banned password list. But the list isn't based on any external data source, so leaked passwords not leaked by Microsoft are not included 🤡​.

This leads to:
Known leaked passwords are accepted. Location name plus year is accepted. Dictionary word plus year is accepted!!!

Not sure if this applies only to German dictionary words.

It gets even worse. Reading the documentation, I found "Characters not allowed: Unicode characters" WTF

Coming back to the weird point system. A banned password is not really banned, it gives you "only" 1 point (and you need five).

This leads to the question how many points do none-banned words give?

If you think it can't get worse, you're wrong! It looks like each character of a none-banned word gives one point. Meaning "password1234" is an accepted password. (1 point for password and 4 for each digit)

Or a real life example: The #SolarWInds #SupplyChain attach which affected Microsoft, US government agency and countless other organizations world wide, was cause by a weak FTP server password.
Namely "solarwinds123", which would be accepted by #Entra ID #Password Protection (1 point each for "solar" and "wind", 3 points for the numbers. If "solarwinds" would be on the custom banned list, "solarwind1234" would have been enough.

And you can't do anything against it.

I actually hope that the documentation is somewhat wrong and that "123" is not 3 points but 1 as it are consecutive numbers. But this would make it only marginal better (2023
