Laravel VS castopod

Hope this saves a future team from unexpected behavior resulting in (potential) production data loss.

When using Postgres, Laravel's default method for truncate uses the cascade option, which will ignore foreign key constraints and potentially wipe large amounts of data with no confirmation or warning.

It was originally introduced in 2018: https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/26389/files

Here are two threads on it if you are curious: https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/29506

I am just exploring middleware in this post, but as you can see this is quite a different approach than we've seen historically. I sat there scratching my head, "How do I set up my own middleware? How do I change the defaults?" I had to explore the Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware class to find out.

For example check out this issue I reported on their side: https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/49089

It does not mean you should absolutely use it everywhere, but it can make sense for your case. Many frameworks, like Laravel use it to compose new projects.

Even Tinker is a few lines of code to extend PsySH and credit is barely given.

Taylor Otwell is a fiend for creating wrappers around solid open source libraries, using PHP magic and encouraging bad practices, all just to breed an ecosystem ultimately to land him a Lambo, fuelled by amazing open source foundations that have barely been contributed back to by him.

This same system has been used in Laravel since version 4.0* albeit in the more PHP plain way, using call_user_func_array (Laravel Model Class).

I would like to see something like Castopod [0], but for artists! Spinning up a website where you showcase and sell your music should (and could!) be as easy as using Wordpress, either via a subscription or self-hosted – on your own domain.

Being plugged into the Fediverse makes it much easier to interact with fans and build a connection with your audience. It also makes it easy for people to share and talk about a track or and album. None of this requires that you tie yourself to yet another VC-funded startup and a closed garden.

Maybe someone is building something like this already, that I am not aware of?

Has anyone installed Castopod on a Rasberrypi? Castopod

Try castopod, not used it in anger but it was easy to get going and running. https://castopod.org/

I'm planning on spinning up multiple podcasts. Since I'm quite good with webhosting I'm thinking of spinning up a cheap castopod.org instance instead of paying potentially a lot (in the future, if they happen to get downloaded a lot). Only problem of course is the traffic that comes from having to server every episode's files from a server, because cheap hosting generally has bandwith (and computational) limitations. Are there any platforms/CDNs yuo can recommend for hosting the audio files for free/cheaply? Thanks for any tips :)

The code is horrible:

https://github.com/ad-aures/castopod/blob/develop/app/Views/...

Tight coupling of the HTML/PHP and JS.

If they were going to use PHP, at least they could have used Laravel or Symfony and had standardized libraries for authentication, views etc.

I just checked their Composer.json, looks like it uses CodeIgniter ... so maybe there is a framework in there but still the code quality is atrocious:
