In the #drupal #ddev KB, I see this note: "Projects should live under the home directory of the Linux filesystem. WSL2’s Linux filesystem (e.g. /home/ <your_username> ) is much faster and has proper permissions, so keep your projects there and not in the slower Windows filesystem (/mnt/c)."

I understand how NTFS adds overhead for reading/writing files, and can cause potentially confusing permission issues, but is "much faster" really true? Like how much much faster?

What's your solution in #drupal for note titles that need formatting like bold and italics?
I almost always create separate "Title" (plain text) and "Display Title" (html) fields for content types, but I've never heard anyone else suggest this or seen it in practice. The bonus benefit of this is that it allows the plain text title to be used for sorting while displaying the desired Display Title, like if you want to prepend an emoji to the display title, or prepend an event title with CANCELLED:

i think this is my fav email campaign of all time. never much of a fan, but just about any band could be used for this format.

what are some of our favorite tools for screen recording training presentations for #cms like #drupal and #wordpress ?
I'm finding recorded #zoom screen sharing sessions to be ineffective, and I want to start cranking out short lessons and how-tos on a regular basis for adding to the #wiki
Essential features will be mouse click indicators, various visual aids, and anything that might make the recording and editing process easier.

Any ideas why a #VPN service might severely slow down loading of a #Drupal 10 site?
🐌Overall network speed is the same
🐢vpn is using the system DNS
⌛the vpn doesn't have any ad-blocking or other filtering features enabled
🙃async or defer could be applied to fontawesome and some tracking scripts
🪳dev tools does show it is likely related to many/all of the various externally hosted tracking scripts not being able to phone home how they'd prefer, so probably not a cache/bigpipe issue
🤮

i ran into some peculiar speedbumps building a very basic #drupal 10 site that would be showstoppers for novices:
😬#ckeditor 5 inline images and default admin themes don't apply height:auto, but do set image max-width to 100%, so my giant pixel art displays at the wrong aspect ratio before correcting it in both the admin and default themes
😬this haunted windows vs linux syntax issue with #mysql db config https://www.drupal.org/forum/support/post-installation/2024-03-09/error-drupalmysqldriverdatabasemysqlconnection-not-found
😬the generate-theme based theme ignores block layout order

I 🖤 #drupal again! The growing pains from 7 to 8 to 10 made me worry about the future of Drupal and caused me to explore alternate paths of focus for career opportunities, like #salesforce, but seeing how great d10 has become, and looking forward to 11, I want Drupal to be my main squeeze.

I've been tasked to upgrade another inherited #drupal 9 site to 10, apply a some major updates to the existing theme, and stage it on #pantheon
As-is, none of the contrib modules had been defined in its #composer #json config, and it has quite a few complex added features and content types that may no longer be required. Let's see how this goes! 😎

getting around a lot of the chicken+egg probs with #drupal 8 to 9 upgrades, though the destination server still needs to be upgraded from #php 7 to 8, and #bootstrap versions are either non d9.5 compatible or non php7.4.? compatible so it's like the chicken is a dodo 🦤 and the egg is a russian doll 🪆

using one of the #drupal node revision bulk delete modules is very helpful since there doesn't seem to be many sane ways to go about it. Now it only takes a fraction of a second to delete each revision, times 20,000 😬

i'm updating a #drupal 8 site to 10 and tumbling through some of the changes in #css #scss #sass class conventions, maybe due to the outdated #radix theme? where underscores are now hyphens and various <div> have appeared and disappeared 😬
is there a standard/programmatic way to update the classes at least? 🤔

#Mastodon tried hard to kneecap social discovery on the #Fediverse in the name of preventing toxicity and abuse.

Little did they know that lack of social discovery would be a catalyst for toxicity and abuse.

It’s this lack of social discovery that causes Reply Guys to randomly pop into threads with neither sensitivity nor context, demanding people educate them on things when they’re called out on bad behaviour.

If only these people would read threads before talking—but they don’t because social discovery is kneecapped on Mastodon.

I discovered and solved an oddity in #Drupal views twig implementation. Yes you can use twig in views, but what I was using in a twig template to offer one link to {% if logged_in %} users and a login link to anon users doesn't work in the limited twig support in views, so I had to create two duplicate views, one for logged-in and one for anon, with the prepopulated link or login link being the only difference :]
