I mostly post about programming, politics, cycling, and random things that amuse me.

Some helpful tips on adapting to Gitlab-based #Drupal issue queues from @ultimike on @drupaleasy - https://www.drupaleasy.com/quicktips/getting-comfortable-gitlab-and-drupal-issue-queue (and +1 to stating that the article is #AIFree!)
You can make HTTP requests in #Drupal Kernel tests! Your tests run faster and are easier to debug! I've updated the documentation page on it https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/automated-testing/phpunit-in-drupal/making-http-requests-programmatically-in-kernel-tests and you can also read my block post for an overview: https://www.noreiko.com/blog/speed-your-phpunit-browser-tests-one-trick #PHPUnit #ttd
Making HTTP requests programmatically in Kernel tests

HTTP requests using drupalGet() While in general, Functional tests are designed for the testing of page loads, it's possible to test these in Kernel tests too. The advantage is that Kernel tests are much faster to run, because they only set up what they need to. The faster running time is particularly useful if many different combinations need to be tested for. The trade-off is that some aspects of the Drupal site are not available, such as form submissions and session handling, and that more set-up is required (but you only set up the elements the test needs).

This critical flaw, CVE-2026-9082, allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL and potentially run remote code, putting sites that use PostgreSQL at risk.

During the last few weeks, the #Symfony core team has been hard at work fixing a long list of vulnerabilities for both #Symfony and #Twig. Today, we're publishing that work in the biggest security patch releases ever. Bare with us and wish us luck 🍀

ChatGPT was never Google’s biggest threat; it was always its own hubris.

With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.
