Should Openstack be used as self-hosted s3 service, in 2025? (Answer: no)
Hello everyone, very quickly, I have spent several days looking into self-hosting s3 solutions, because I am in the process of moving out of AWS cloud for security reasons.
One of the alternative options that I have considered for S3, the object storage solution, is OpenStack. Some 10 years ago, I have actively developed in the openstack ecosystem, and I remember they provide one or several s3-compatible solutions. In particular, the OpenStack Swift supposedly provides an option for self-hosted s3. You can install it as part of the devstack, which can run on a single machine.

Drupal 9.5: How to render a block from a controller
Based on this excellent stackoverflow answer.
$bid = ??? // Get the block id through config, SQL or some other means

getViewBuilder('block_content')->view($block);
return $render;.
How to program Drupal Cron
From drupalsun.
Implementing Cron tasks in Drupal
Cron tasks are defined by implementing the hook_cron hook in your module, just like in previous Drupal versions.
/**
* Implements hook_cron().
**/
function example_cron() {
// Do something here.
}And that's pretty much it. Rebuild cache and next time cron runs your hook will be called and executed.

)Canon Digital Photo Professional - free download
One of the pieces of software that I enjoy using very much is the Canon Digital Photo Professional. I originally got it a loooong time ago, back when I was taking photography classes. It came with one of the Canon cameras that I've bought over the years. At the time I used it to browse and sort my pictures, sure - and only years later I realized just how valuable and useful this piece of software is.
A recommendation to rename "criticality" -> "priority"
Just throwing two cents here - if the pandemic taught us 10 things, one of those ten gotta be that small details in communication matter very much. With that, I recommend renaming the word "criticality" -> "priority". The reasoning is as follows. And be careful with the red color in the smart sheet too, please, for the same reason.
An example of a bug report and the technical conversation around it to resolve it
I recently had to justify the amount of effort that software development takes. Someone unfamiliar with the process thought that software development is easy, or that it doesnt take much time. They thought, for example, that an advanced reporting app can get pdf export capability if they just said to the development team, "implement pdf export." Literally, they thought that writing a single line of text like that in a specification document would result in the organization gaining that functionality.
Пример отчета об ошибке и технического обсуждения для ее решения
Недавно мне пришлось обосновать объем усилий, которые требуются для разработки программного обеспечения. Кто-то, незнакомый с процессом, думал, что разработка программного обеспечения проста или что она не занимает много времени. Например, они думали, что расширенное приложение для создания отчетов может получить возможность экспорта в PDF, если просто сказать команде разработчиков: «Внедрите экспорт в PDF». Буквально, они думали, что написание одной строки текста в документе спецификации приведет к тому, что организация получит эту функциональность.
A directory of SMTP sending services
Due to an unexpected service interruption, I've recently had to evaluate numerous options for SMTP services, to replace a one that was showing signs of performance degradation. The AWS SES is an obvious choice, but what if it is not available, or your organization requires diversifying to other providers? Below is a quick list of contenders that I have compiled, with my comments on each.
Drupal 9: How to make the /user/register form available in a twig template
Q: When comments in a (content type) Article are enabled, for an anonymous user Drupal 9.5 shows a text with links, "please regiter or login to post a comment". I would like the login form to be rendered there already, so that the user can login without leaving the article. For this, I would like to make the /user/register form available inside a twig template. How would I do that?
A: Install Twig Tweak (reference) and try this:
Testing async code with Jest
After a little bit of struggle, I have managed to implement a jest that correctly tests an async fetch call. That is, suppose clicking a button initiates a POST request, and upon success some action takes place or some message gets displayed. I needed a test to assert that the action indeed took place.
My component looks as follows:
How to import and export users to keycloak
First, I recommend setting up a backup. This way, exporting and importing users is done via backup. You would not need to recreate the realm: you can do a partial import of users into an existing realm.
My keycloak is setup with backups via docker:
