Using the Drush Behat Params library, you can quickly and easily configure Behat for Drupal testing. This library provides a drush command wrapper for 'bin/behat' with BEHAT_PARAMS already set, eliminating the need to specify the URL, path to code, and drush alias each time you run Behat.

I've made a new #workflow which is tagging and releasing #cd built images automatically too. I can't wait for @nlnetlabs releasing a new #unbound version to watch the #magic. Or to watch it fail.
In my dev-env it works like a charm, though.
I don't want to seem arrogant but I guess this is one of the most feature-rich, secure and advanced image around. And always made with ❤️.
Buying discs is an affordable extension of fandom — and comes wrapped in a Y2K aesthetic
John T. Kurz, owner of Waterloo Records in Austin, says that his used CD sales have remained consistent, even as his new CD sales wobbled during the rise of streaming.
Physical media forever.
If possible & you have the means & ability, drag this stuff w you wherever you go.
This #PhysicalMedia has moved w me every place I've lived- even across the country. Sometimes they've sat in storage. People have hated me a little (maybe a LOT 🙃) for insisting on it.
But never trust corporations/conglomerates to "hold" this stuff for you "virtually" via streaming, or in a "cloud"- they do not care, esp if there is no profit to be had.
Just finished mastering an awesome 8-song rock project for some talented people in NJ. I can't wait to listen to the CD after they're pressed. I have the hi-res files in front of me, but there's always something special about listening to the songs off of a commercially made CD.
I remember when CD's were new, and even the THOUGHT of an indie band getting them made in small quantities simply did not exist (unless you paid a fortune).
I told myself I wouldn't keep buying the #vinyl I gave away when I moved to #CD, but when you come across the seminal album of your political awakening...

Had a little trip to #Amsterdam today, which has one of the few stores in my country that carries #Japanese#CDs (whereas #Korean is in every record store now). Picked up a few more to grow the collection.
I actually never listened to #Diva and #GirlNextDoor, but they looked interesting and didn't cost that much so I figured I'd take them old fashioned style.
「 CDP-897 is a unit from 1992. It’s 32 years old, and it works flawlessly. All buttons work, CD reading is spot on, audio it generates through all outputs is clear. It even came with a full service manual, which till this can day can be easily found on the web. Nowadays not many things exist after 5 years of purchase, and here I am. Just another happy owner in the 30-year history of this player. 」
One of the few (if not only?) Coltrane albums with a guitarist. Burrell does some great Django-esque playing here, and it's arguable who's the main star here.
The @thoughtworks#TechRadar for April 2024 is worth a read - covers the movement away from #OpenSource licenses (the @osi gets a mention for their stewardship of licenses to date, and flags challenges), the rise of #AI code generation and the impacts on #CI and #CD workflows (AI code generators change workflow patterns), and #architectures for #LLM creation - we're seeing distinct patterns emerge through #RAG.
I've always enjoyed the Tech Radar format - it simplifies the complexity of a fast-changing landscape and makes it tractable for decision makers.
Tried to play a #CD on my wife's old stereo that's in the living room. Resulted in confused tray movements and really loud angry whirring sounds. Luckily the #Sony stereos from the early 2000s have good service manuals you can find online, and all it took was to replacing the perished belt with a little rubber band. A good Saturday night.
Great sounds and a bit of proggish playing even. Lyrics and themes are like reading today's newspapers. Sonically there's some superb stuff. Under some pressure I could easily give away my 3000 records and just stick to listening a couple of these $5 budget Megadeth CDs, nothing wrong with this kind of music.
Though I have a few vinyl records, a handful or so, I don't have a record player. What I do have is tons of CDs that I now can't play in the car because the tech bros who design cars now think everybody is willing to either listen to commercials or fork over money every month to creeps like spotify. And I will do neither.
It is ridiculous in this day and age to have to haul a CD player to my car and jerry-rig a connection to the audio input like it's 1995, but here we are.
