    A Pure-Python PostgreSQL Driver

    I agree that information shouldn't be duplicated, but in one of my projects I've taken the opposite approach and made the FAQ the only place that certain information is presented. It's for the library https://github.com/tlocke/pg8000 and I've called them 'Examples' rather than a FAQ, but each time I get a question that isn't covered by the examples I add in a new example. I'd be interested to hear what people think of this approach.

  • govuk-puppet

    Discontinued Decommissioned: Puppet manifests that used to provision the legacy GOV.UK stack.

    For people who aren't British or UK-resident, a reasonable example would be working out how to move to the UK for a job — what visa to apply for.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Lunar

    Intelligent adaptive brightness for your external monitors

    All of those issues happen a lot (so they're common) but only for specific setups (so they're edge cases).

    I have no control over them, they happen because something in the hardware setup is blocking DDC requests for changing brightness/volume etc. The issue is not detectable, the app gets a successful reply from the monitor, just like everything worked.

    Best I can do, is a lengthy FAQ: https://lunar.fyi/faq#brightness-not-changing
