Allright last August I moved back to Polka JS but now I am back again to Django 🐍! Why ? Well I think I spent more time in Django to be able to figure out more things than in nodejs/polka or express. A lot of things are very straightforward in Django and

Both MySQL and MariaDB provide a native way to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES algorithm. I am told by experienced programmers that is not a good idea to store password this way (unless they are hashed) because the decryption key might appear in
