'Jaz dood' - my 6yo.

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

Never Apologise, Never Explain is not the motto of the brave, the strong, the heroic or the holy. It's the motto of a cunt.
@petr Yeah, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabanus_sudeticus looks likely except for the stinger and the white markings.

@jeni This is apparently the only cicada in the UK and the colours don't look right: https://www.speciesrecoverytrust.org.uk/new-forest-cicada My 9yo found it without the head!

Cicadas are not insects that are usually associated with the UK, instead, their distinctive calls tend to conjure up images of hot and exotic locations. However, there is one species of cicada that is native to England, the New Forest Cicada.

Can anyone identify this insect? Southern UK. Head missing! Underside is shiny and black, with little white markings.
@mradcliffe I'm really not happy with the loss of the table with columns format. The issue tags are a mess all over the place, it's much harder on the eye.
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).

Drupal Sites Targeted in SQL Injection Attacks

Drupal sites are under attack as SQL injection exploits are now being detected in the wild, taking advantage of a vulnerability that can be triggered without authentication. This critical flaw, CVE-2026-9082, allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL and potentially run remote code, putting sites that use PostgreSQL at risk.
