Yeah one of my friends in another online community told me as such… he’s a network engineer too, so I trust him. He’s why I decided to go ahead with my plan.

oh man this is so fun!

thanks!!!

Komrade_K · December 15, 2020, 7:20pm

I didn’t realize how motivating this type of challenge would be for me. What a great format.

anon85095355 · December 15, 2020, 8:05pm

I’ve been struggling with “learning to code” for the whole 2020, now I’m coding everyday and enjoying the heck out of it

it was fairly unexpected and I’m in love with css

It’s always great when you find something that naturally fits into the way you frame things.

Dynamic_Gravity · December 16, 2020, 2:53pm

I need to update my thread, I’ve done a bunch of stuff lol.

SgtAwesomesauce · December 16, 2020, 7:57pm

I should probably get back on it huh?

Dynamic_Gravity · December 16, 2020, 8:17pm

See my update in our chat

I hear the L1 team talking a lot about prizes and videos and winners and stuff - but I am having a hard time finding the info on any of this.

Does anyone know if there’s a competition associated with Devember in some way?

WaterWatch_Podcast · December 18, 2020, 7:52pm

So here is the link to my blog post (okay I guess I am not allowed to post links since I am so new??). It is one of my first python projects since learning the code and it is a way to tell Jeff Bezos that he sucks.

I am 22 years old, relatively new to the channel and brand new to the community. I hope you guys find this humorous and interesting.

I left all of this mostly the same but I guess the actual post has been tagged. Let me know if there is a way that I can post my link if that is absolutely required to submit into devemeber.
Anyway
Happy Devember!

Hi there!
I made a file rename utility for Linux using Python and GTK + Glade. Thanks to Devember for getting me motivated to learn GTK + Glade and produce something that I personally find useful.

[Devember 2020] File Rename Utility using Python and GTK + Glade Code

My Devember project is a file rename utility for Linux using Python and GTK + Glade. I started the 1 Year Linux Challenge on Jan 1st 2020 with Linux Mint. I had to learn Python to re-write some of the little applications I wrote for myself over the years on Windows. Early on, I learned Tkinter for a basic GUI, but it had its limitations. I wanted to learn how to make a better GUI for a Pyhton application, so I started learning GTK. My choice of a file rename utility was because I couldn’t find what I thought was a good one for Linux. I found that I could run a Windows one in Wine, but I didn’t really like that either. I’m pleased with what I came up with and have been eating my own dog food, as it were, for the last several weeks while I put the spit and polish on it. Link: https://github.com/BSFEMA/linux_file_rename_utility I was able to to add all the feature that I wanted into it, so it is ‘complete’ for now. I do plan on adding more to it a bit later, but this has consumed most of my free time, so I’m taking a break. I’d like to thank Level1Techs and the Devember challenge for giving me the impetus to create this application. It was fun, challenging, entertaining, and I have something super useful (to me at least) at the end of it.

It’s a devember minecraft server

ndesign.ie · December 19, 2020, 12:27pm

Hi All! Thank you LVL1 for this Linode Credits, has help so much.
I now have a Server running SSH access only, VPN so I can access my home network (another linux server) from anywhere, created Coturn server for testing software, playing with SQL security and developing a Teamviewer custom hosting/server platform.

I also run a small IT business as a day job.

Happy coding!

Just a problem I’ve encoutered, nginx running dotnet app trouble, nodes keep dropping connection, restarting nginx get some, at random none or all. Don’t worry I’ll probably have to do some re-coding of dotnet or break out a docker.

Keep it Level 1!

anon85095355 · December 23, 2020, 10:50am

what?

ndesign.ie · December 24, 2020, 4:12pm

Wish I could find time for the Minecraft server, too many things to do before people start back to work. Independant IT operator like myself needs to have good, trustworthy tools.

Found MeshCentral on Github, great work which I am impressed with the code. Looking to add some functionality to it, as a pet project.

I’m so glad Level 1 put me on to Linode, I am going to about €500 next year in operational costs.

Soon as I start making money, I throw some meshcommander teams way.

My Devember project isn’t exactly using any web technologies, but can I still take part?

If yes, my project is PACT.
PACT stands for Process Affinity Control Tool .
It’s a tool that allows you to section off different processes in to different cores/threads on your CPU automagically.

Here is the forum post for more info:

SgtAwesomesauce · December 25, 2020, 11:47pm

Of course it can. Devember is about doing!

BoKKeR · December 28, 2020, 2:32pm

I got this done:

Managed to get grafana running with influxdb and mongodb exporter, For the production https://keyb.io site. Still hoping to get mongodb queries added but the only project that can do it is not dockerized but I might take over the repo and fix it up.

Some of the grafana screens below, the big one is the AWS billing one I have fixed some of the server sizes and downscaled on dedicated gateways. So hopefully next month it will be cheaper by more than half.

I am still working on actually moving keyb.io from aws ecs to k8s as the pricing has not been any better this month

Created a site to keep up on Tech Leaks for my Devember project. I needed the practice, constructive advice is appreciated.

[Devember 2020] Leaker Rank site, a site to keep up on latest tech leaks Code

Apologies in advance, Linode is still opening my email port so hopefully my email notifications works, please message me or email me if you have issues. Also I know I really need to post a lot more news on it to really show how the site works. www.leakerrank.com (DNS is still catching up, still in that 48 hour window, try 45.33.114.223 if not working) This site helps to bring together the many sources across the net to for one-stop news on tech leaks. Here you can follow most recent leaks, a particular leaker, or even your favorite reporting media source. -newest leaks are shown in New Leaks link -click on a leakers name to see all of their recent leaks -click on a reporting source’s name to see their recently reported leaks -click on leaker’s source URL to go to the leak’s origin URL -click on reporting source’s URL so see where this was first seen by the person posting it -click validate to verify a leak as correct or incorrect -Top Leakers link show as list of top leaker’s order by accuracy -Report Leak link allows users to post newly found leaks This was good practice so your constructive advice is appreciated.

Thanks
