I tried to change some DNS records today, and even after the TTL was over, I couldn't get the updated records on my notebook. I flushed the DNS cache on macOS but it didn't work. After some debugging, I found that my FRITZ!Box might be the culprit.
And then deactivate DHCP and reactivate it afterward. This will flush the DNS cache without the need for a restart. My changed DNS records were available right after doing this 🤪.

Usually, I use pip -e ../package-directory to install an editable version of a package I use in a different project. Usually I use this method to track a bug or develop a new feature. Some time ago I switched to using flit to build my packages because it supports putting all the configuration in pyproject.toml and is not poetry. Today I had to learn that for a django-packages built with flit but then installed with pip -e the Django template lookup is broken. Using flit install -s works fine though.
