Author here. Funny this ended up here again! These days, we don't use this any more. First, because we now use primarily original Boca printers and are allowed to use the official drivers, and second, because we do 99% of printing from

(Author here) Interesting! How do you differentiate between a bot and a screenreader user? Both won't move their mouse, scroll, etc but only send a single click event

(Author here) Anything else than first-come-first-served requires strong identity to avoid people trying to get better chances with many entries into the pool, thus falling into the "sacrificing privacy" category

(Author here) Yes, every kind of lottery/raffle is a possible solution but only with strong identity verification to avoid double-entry and hence only with sacrificing privacy, as mentioned in the article.

Is there any source / data on that? I haven't noticed such a difference between our apps.

Thanks, that's great to hear! :)

Our CI rans our test suite against all of SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL which worked well enough that I can only remember one or maximum two bugs caused by this, but yes, wise words.

by _rami_ 9y ago
Sure, the main reason for this is that nearly all of our tests touch the database and operate on a comparatively high level, we have way more things in a fuzzy category between functional and integration tests than actual unit tests. This i

Ouch. FTR, patroni does a similar thing, but instead of rm /var/lib/postgres it does a mv /var/lib/postgres /var/lib/postgres.bak.date ;)

by _rami_ 9y ago
It certainly is a future perspective for us, moving to all-postgres, but forcing every installation of pretix (an open source application) to go through this migration is not something we'll do overnight ;)

That's weird indeed (although I don't see any connections to a http: URL in the dev console). If someone else reports a similar problem, I'll just remove piwik alltogether.

by _rami_ 9y ago
Hi! :) do you explicitly see that HTTP URL or is it just a guess? I'm struggling to find it right now :(

Hmm, weird, cannot reproduce this in either Chrome or Firefox, with or without ad blocker. Anyone else having this problem?

We haven't in depth, as they only advertise with their sharding and distributed query features etc and less with their HA features (if that is even in Citus Community). Sharding data is something we won't do before we absolutely n

Sure, there are often problems differing between the databses. Our Travis CI configuration runs our test suite against all three different databases: https://travis-ci.org/pretix/pretix/builds/351704035 Howev

I may add that our development setup has no external service dependencies, redis is optional as well. Of course, we wouldn't recommend that in production, but we're kinda proud that it's possible.
26.
by _rami_ 9y ago
Me too, at times. Django makes it bearable though, and going forward we'll probably use more advanced features of PostgreSQL in places where we can fail gracefully or fall back to simpler behaviour on other databases.

Our development setup currently does not need Docker at all. In fact, it does not need a lot more than git and a recent Python version: https://docs.pretix.eu/en/latest/development/setup.html I agree that thi

No, we haven't. You are absolutely right that this would probably mitigate the deadlocks. However, (1) the deadlocks/WSREP was a problem annoying us, while the query performance was a problem leading to real customer complaints, (
