Today I was looking for the culprit of the performance issue that was affecting a Django Admin page that wasn’t loading.

In a web application, it’s a common pattern to have the backend to send a UTC timestamp, which the frontend will later display in the user’s timezone.

That’s it, I’ve made the switch to PipeWire! And things are looking great! I was previously using JACK and PulseAudio in parallel, each with its own soundcard, and the setup was a bit cumbersome as for some reason I had not been able to get everything to load at startup, so I had to start JACK manually everytime…

Loguru is a Python library that provides a neat logging API, and I recently learned how to add extra context to the logs.

I find quite cool how quickly you can start using a C library from Zig! No need to write bindings or to fiddle with a FFI, it provides direct integration with C libraries.
