Professional Programming Procrastinator that fills his daytime with Drupal, Laravel and K8s devops. Father of 1
kid and 2 border terriers.
just transferred a module that I once created to scratch an itch on project to new maintainers. The kicker of it all is, I never noticed this module is used on 700+ sites.

I feel left out of the claude code hype. Still rocking Jetbrains Juni. So far it works good enough for my type of tasks. But maybe that says everything about my current job. 🧐

Saldo waarschuwing op de dag salaris met vakantiegeld gestort is, is altijd leuk. Tot dat je ziet dat de belastingdienst er ook van op vakantie kan.

Het gezin was al een tijdje bekend bij diverse hulpverleners en justitie.

Goh, dat is net zo’n verassing als er lezen dat eerste kerstdag dit jaar op 25 december valt.

Maar goed, laat wat ambtenaren nog maar wat meer dossiers, regels en interdepartementale drempels op werpen #gezinsdrama

Using the #Drupal state system to create a time based lock. Instead of duplicating this code over and over again, move it to a class for readability.

For example you are running multiple instances of the same site in containers this can prevent running twice on startup of cron

Sometimes I feel like such a lousy developer, but for some strange reason I can't memorise the entire #Drupal form api so instead of looking it up, I ask PHPStorm AI agent to generate it for me.

So does this mean Google Gemini actually know about Johny 5?

This was on my watch schedule on this, very Dutch tradition of a second easter. Maybe a should consider a career in
prophecy.

Zojuist dus met de hakken over de sloot kaartjes voor @woutermonden.bsky.social zijn zo te zien echt laatste keer Stormbrein spelen gekocht. Wat is het tegenovergestelde van premiere? Vaarwel, gelukkig kan ik nu plek in mijn hoofd maken voor de nieuwe voorstelling een uitvaart noemen is ook zo wat.

John Oliver talking about our Dutch Visdeurbel was not on anyone’s bingo card and yet here we are. You go fishes, do your fishy things.
Thank you to Mario for helping us set the mood for a bunch of frisky fish. Full segment streaming now on Max.

Intussen op X “Er zijn hier veel oekraïners die in dikke auto’s en fatbikes rijden. En de gewone NL burgers kunnen niets meer één blikje cola betalen”

Van wie komen dan al die Cola, RedBull en Monster
blikjes dan die wij elke oprapen tijdens de ochtend honden wandeling?

Ook van die Oekraïners?

Ah yeah, spring is finally here. The electric trees are almost ready to bloom. Electricity farmers already prepared them for the harvest season at the end of summer. #outdoor #nature

Guess I need to add a few extra rules to my blackhole system or to the Drupal fast404 regex.

First time I noticed a dedicated .env attack on multiple websites on our cluster. #devops #drupal

Building a rather simple @nextjs.org site and setting output mode to 'export' in combination with www.npmjs.com/package/next... can give you pretty decent pagespeed scores.
Site is hosted on @cloudflare.social as a Pages application with a caching rule on the /images/ path (as index has a randomize)

De oude dame krijgt buren. Strak in het grijze beton gegoten nieuwe dromen. Stilletjes hopend dat er straks nog iemand overblijft die haar wulpse vormen kan waarderen voor ze ooit de kop moet verlaten achter in de bak van een vrachtwagen. #rotterdam #kopvanzuid #fotografie

Small victory for me, got RKE2 with Cilium working. Not 100% like I wanted, as the initial goal was to replace kube-proxy as well. So guess that's next :)

Having a old HP desktop repurposed as a Proxmox host makes it way more easier to spin up/down machines then using a cloud. #homelab #k8s

Look mum, I did a thing yesterday. Finally found some time to fix rather annoying side effect I introduced in the previous version of this #drupal x #alpinejs module. By imho improving the way you can attach AlpineJS to your theme / component.

www.drupal.org/project/alpi...
alpine_js 3.0.3
Updated AlpineJS and plugins to 3.14.8 The global attachment code was causing some issues being loaded on admin route pages. On new installations it is disabled by default. With an explicit option to load it on a admin page if you need to. Instead of enabling AlpineJS globally you can use the two options mentioned in How to use section in the readme.md Added option to explicitly enable AlpineJS on admin routes.

Catching up after an weekend with almost no social media is a dystopian experience when opening TikTok. First i got a wave of sentimental goodbyes and this is the end videos from a US based creators, promptly followed by the second wave of You missed us? and we are so back, thank you Trump videos.
