Yes! Join the dark side 😆
I haven't messed with formsets in the past 2 years, and I have not looked back once.
I 😍 most things #Django, but nothing about working with formsets is pleasant or fulfilling.
And there's always weird js quirks required to get them working just right. No thank you.

Oh I didn't even see a passport option. I went with CC.

Turns out the issue I am experiencing is due to new user limitations - a max of 5 servers and 8 total vCPUs. I knew they had limits for new users, but I didn't see the actual numbers anywhere until now.
5 servers and 8 vCPUs seems incredibly low considering how many folks are using swarm/kubernetes/replicas etc for their cloud-based services.
Time to reach out to customer service lol.

Was really excited to start using #HetznerCloud this weekend, but after spinning up 3 servers, I see that Hetzner has significant limitations right now on Dedicated vCPU servers. I can't select anything but the most basic servers (2 vCPUs, and 8 GB RAM) which is fine for experimenting, but not for actually pushing my stack to Production.
This has been an issue for the past 20 days, apparently.
Not an auspicious initial impression 😖

Been thinking about that bookmarks tool you mention. I'm so bad at reviewing mine. Is it something you're putting in a repo?

Sorry to hear about your relatives. Losing someone is always rough. 😔

Reaffirming is important, but I'm not happy right now 😒
And I know web dev is challenging and finding folks with time and skill to help with these things can be difficult, but this experience does not feel right for the flagship org representing Python. People *want* to sign up and participate and be heard, but it's a truly painful experience.

Okay, now I realize why I left re-affirming PSF membership to the last minute - it's incredibly frustrating and has been for as long as I've been doing anything with Python.
- The form doesn't work correctly with password managers.
- Even though you'd think your login for python.org (where you can view and edit your PSF basic membership) would be the same as the login for psfmember.org, it is not.
- Finding the form to be a contributing member is damn challenging! (nav is awful!!)

I may be going down a dangerous rabbit hole 😬 but since I don't see a solid solution/tool, I think I'm going to 'quickly' put together a Python package for creating/working with Markdown files that contain multiple translated texts (leveraging existing pkgs e.g.: frontmatter)
I have little experience in this area, so I am curious what unforeseen issues or oddities come up with working with multiple languages in a single file. (RTL vs LTR in the same doc, for instance)
Wish me luck 😬

I was hoping to find a Markdown standard, flavor, or implementation that keeps all the relevant metadata and translations for a text in a single file, but the seeming lack of such examples maybe suggests it's not a good idea.
I can't imagine I'm the first to explore this. 🤔
But maybe separate files is the way to go.

Anyone know if there is a standard (or something written down somewhere so I'm not reinventing the wheel) for storing multiple translations of text in a Markdown file?
Right now I'm marking each translation in the file like this:
```
# Translation {lang-code1}
Contents for first language here
# Translation {lang-code2}
Contents for second language here
```
But it feels...
- naive (there's may be issues I'm not considering)
-like surely someone has done this already
