GeoAfrikana: I never knew Python anywhere is slow. You can try out rando.
Most Nigerian websites were built with WordPress and PHP. I don't know if that has changed. Even globally, wordpress hosting is more ubiquitous than VPS.
Yap true talk. Here the website if you don't mind a streaming service for sports games.
1. Many Nigerian hosting services like Qservers offer VPS service. But they don't offer plans for hobbyists. For example, Qservers' VPS starts from 26k per month. Whereas Linode offers as low as $5 per month.
2. PythonAnywhere is, in my opinion, the most pythonic hosting platform. They even offer a free plan which (I don't think) requires a credit card. More importantly, they've abstracted away the complex web server configuration steps so you won't even need to touch Nginx, Apache or even Gunicorn. You only give them the path to your wsgi file and they'll handle everything from there.
3. This dollar issue is a problem. But a workaround is those fintech platforms like flutterwave, cardify, chippercash and spendwise (which I use but not necessarily because it's better). These platforms offer draconian exchange rate (no cap) but since all you need is less than $5 then you can manage them. Major platforms like Linode, Digital Ocean, Vultr (which I don't recommend) and AWS offer free plans that could be up to one year.
Thanks I know about pythonanywhere but their server slow things down abit I'm looking at using rando. I don't know why Nigeria hosting platforms are not built for servers side applications only php stuff full everywhere.
Pls as our naira card cannot pay in dollars I'm looking for the best Nigeria hosting service where I can host a flask server. Or even rent a VPS if need be. Probably a cheaper service as we are still early in production.
Elon musk said that Starting from today, Twitter will share ad revenue with creators for ads that appear in their reply threads. But to be eligible, the account must be a subscriber to Twitter Blue Verifie.
Learn how to create a Chrome browser extension using python and the new iteration of the web extensions platform, called pyscript. That’s right, and it’s pretty painless with PyScript.
thesicilian: Help me ask them o Government is supposed to use availability resources to better the lives of the people, not save it for the next politician to squander. Even in the Bible, the only servant that saved his talent (instead of investing it like others) was cast away in anger by the Master.
What Norway did with the massive oil boom they had was saving the money. Google is there to help you understand.
tensazangetsu20: In terms of videos yes because it's expensive to push out video content but if you are talking about written programming content then Nigerians write a lot. I can't count how many times I have gotten stuck and I went online to read and it's an article written by a fellow Nigerian that helped me. Yours truly has even written down some programming articles. If the resources were there, I am sure making video content won't be a problem for Nigerians.
Is not expensive just that we and those 8ver are not the same, here you have to be twice as good.
AutoshalomUSA: You are very right my dear . I’ve gone through many Nigerian social media influencers and gurus . They are either for hookups , celebrity gossip, music, blockchain, crypto, or fintech .
Nothing really substantial to learn from these opportunists. I’ve thought about starting a channel to only talk about about legitimate business and career options for those willing to work and huand observe small patience.
Devdev, Stay the course . Very soon Our programmers will start focusing on meaningful projects and more people would be interested in tech for good not for scam .
Thanks
Not true though, just most of us do, I share tips on what I have learnt and how I qas able to solve it.
headboyprince: and how many yahoo boys in nigeria can hack bank or crypto firms how many of them can create hacking tools if you're talking about scammers in russia, or china ill understand but for nigerian yahoo boys, never..
Yahoo is not about hacking pls. Majorly impersonation and relationships scam.
Devdevdev: You hardly see Nigerians teaching coding or talking about programming related stuff on on social media, especially on Youtube. This is because this is actually a legit way to be a successful person and it involves a lot of hard work, determination and consistence.
Nigerians only like to propagate get rich schemes and fraudulent stuff like plagiarizing books to post on Amazon or some rubbish Ponzi scheme. The common thread that links all these is that they don't involve much work and all you have to do is just do the little, then sit and wait for money to start pouring into your account. I admit there are a tiny minority of people who make money from these, but it's usually for a short period of time until it crashes or they get banned from Amazon, or get arrested, but the majority of people don't get shit, rather they jump from one get rich scheme to the other until they realize they've wasted their time.
Programming will never be saturated with competent programmers especially in this country because majority of people don't have the discipline and delligence to actually become competent programmers.
For the past month I've not been on social media. I deleted my Twitter, Facebook Tiktok, Instagram and vowed to never check status on WhatsApp because that's a very huge distraction. I only use Nairaland and Reddit, particularly for programming related information. I deleted every movie from my laptop and haven't watched TV for weeks.
How many people can do this? How many people can sit at a desk staring at a computer screen for 12+ hours everyday?
Nigerians are very lazy and are addicted to quick gratification and this works in the favor of programmers who are serious, because it reduces the competitiveness of the job market.
I stay in Nigeria and I push out video content of my work always
Just days after newly minted Twitter CEO Elon Musk floated changes to Twitter’s system for verifying user accounts, including charging $8 per month for the privilege, Twitter appears to have begun rolling out a new tier of Twitter Blue, its premium service, that reflects some of the changes that Musk has proposed.
According to an in-app iOS notification viewed by TechCrunch, the upgraded Twitter Blue, starting at $7.99 per month, will add the blue verification checkmark previously reserved for accounts that applied through Twitter’s fee-free verification process. Other benefits include “half the ads” seen by non-paying Twitter users, as well as ostensibly “twice as relevant” ads, and the ability to post longer videos to Twitter (although it’s not clear just how long; the notification doesn’t specify).
Available in the U.S., Canada, Australian, New Zealand and the U.K. on iOS to start, the new Twitter Blue comes after mass layoffs at Twitter affecting roughly half of the company’s staff, including employees on key human rights, accessibility, AI ethics and curation teams. Musk has claimed that the cuts — along with the introduction of new premium features — are necessary to bring Twitter to profitability, as the company faces an estimated $1 billion a year in interest payments on $13 billion in debt.
