What is the weirdest dream you've ever had? in c/asklemmy

I suppose it goes to show just how much pressure, stress, and trauma we put ourselves through for a decent education. It has lasting effects, could even be a form of PTSD for some people.

What is the weirdest dream you've ever had? in c/asklemmy

[–] flubba86 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I know this one is pretty common, but after I graduated uni I was having recurring dreams for years, where I'd suddenly realise I was enrolled in one extra subject and I'd forgotten to attend any classes, and the exam is tomorrow, and it's the last subject I need to complete my degree, and if I don't pass then I won't graduate.

These were so real, and the panic and anxiety so intense. Every time I had this dream I would wake up convinced I was still enrolled in school, I would log into my school account only to confirm to myself that I have no current class enrolments, and indeed I did graduate already. It would still take me several hours to get that amount of anxiety out of my head.

I was having this dream at least once a month for about 18 months.

What is your favourite episode of a TV show, and why? in c/asklemmy

[–] flubba86 2 points 3 days ago

Yes, Scrubs is so good. I honestly believe My Lunch and My Screw Up are the two best written episodes of any TV show.

What are game intros you associate with staying up past the sunrise? in c/[email protected]

[–] flubba86 2 points 5 days ago

Same. The only time I've ever stayed up past sunrise was when I was trying to finish a game storyline. And by that time the intro was long past. I would never associate a game intro with staying up late.

What was your first word today? in c/asklemmy

[–] flubba86 2 points 5 days ago

Ha, sounds like my wife. She buys gifts for family members throughout the year and hides them all around the house and in the garage. Then it comes to Christmas or Birthday times, she goes looking around the house and often has forgotten what she got or who it was for or where she hid it.

What do you do to not feel tired everyday? in c/[email protected]

[–] flubba86 2 points 5 days ago

Same. My AHI was 59. And during my sleep study there was on event where I didn't breathe for more than a minute. My oxygen saturation got down to 81, that's pretty scary. And that was likely happening to me every night for the last 15 years or more.

Since starting on my CPAP two months ago, my life has massively improved. I wake up feeling great most mornings. I still sometimes feel tired in the afternoons, but not on the level as before.

Name a game game: "...and then it ends with you fighting A GOD." in c/[email protected]

Yeah, but you don't find that out until later games. At the end of Chronicles, it certainly looks and feels like fighting a god.

My understanding is the only Australian breakdancing professional women who are better than her don't have citizenship, so cannot compete.

What devices or equipment you own or had that doesn't have much use in the modern world anymore? in c/asklemmy

It's crazy what the talented engineers in the 1970s were doing with those 7400 series logic. It's a lost art these days, just throw a 10c microcontroller on your board and control everything with code.

What makes you say the windows version is better? The lighting looks more accurate in the top one to me.

I need help choosing a .Net Headless CMS for a new project (self.dotnet)

Firstly, I need to mention I'm coming back to .Net for the first time in more than 10 years. Last time I used .Net was on a very old .Net Framework 4 ASP.NET commercial fast food ordering application in 2013. Since then I've been working with Environmental Scientists, researchers, and academics, using exclusively Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI, etc) for the last 10 years.

This new project I'm tasked with is a custom content publishing platform, so my first thought is obviously a CMS for the content. I feel that Headless CMS products are the go-to these days, and that fits well with our needs because it is the authoring/admin side that the customer is most interested in. The frontend, or "content consumption" side of things is a custom scientific data visualizer we are building in parallel.

My team has been given a MS Azure Cloud subscription to use, and we want to take advantage of as many "cloud-native" approaches as we can. Eg, using Azure Active Directory (AAD) for SSO, using Azure Blob storage for files, Azure SQL for DB, etc. For that reason, we have decided to use .Net to develop this CMS (plus, one of my guys has 5 years experience in .Net, so we don't want that to go to waste).

There are so many free open-source .Net CMS projects floating around that it should be pretty easy to pick one to use as a base to build upon. But it is proving to be a bit harder to choose than I thought. This is the wish list we are looking for:

Free and Open-Source, with permissive licence
Self-hosted, ie. not a SaaS
Cross-platform, with dotNet6 or dotNet7
Needs custom entity types, and entity type instances (we are publishing data types, not Posts and Pages).
Customizable content authoring pages for the custom entity types
Admin UI written in VueJS or ReactJS
Access the content via an Open API
Integration with AAD SSO (and bonus if we can use any SAML or OAuth or OIDC Auth)
Different user roles (Admin, Author, Reviewer)
Use other cloud-native integrations where possible
Workflow steps (Draft, Submit, Review, Approve, Publish, Revoke, etc)
Content versioning, change tracking
Activity auditing

I know this is a pipedream to find one tool that could do all of that out of the box. Back in my Uni days I would have immediately reached for Drupal, but that is PHP, we prefer to not use that anymore. I thought I found the perfect tool when I came across Cofoundry, it ticks a surprisingly large number of those wishlist boxes. The main reasons I am hesitant to go with Cofoundry are:

It is a project from 2017. It has continued to be updated, but not very often since 2018. It was ported from .Net Core to dotNet6 back in 2021, but nothing since then.
It uses Angular 1 for the JS side of the admin pages (not even Angular 2!)
They are very tightly tied into using MS SQL Server for the db with a bunch of custom MS TSQL stored procedures, and using other MS SQL Server-specific features.

I've looked at a bunch of others, but they tend to fall into the camp of SaaS offerings that are focused on publishing Posts and Pages, and not much else, or others that are hobby projects with low user base, and haven't been updated in the last 4 years.

Is there anything I'm missing? I'm looking for something a lot like Cofoundry, but more up to date, not so tightly tied to MSSQL Server, and uses ReactJS or VueJS for the Admin/Authoring pages.
