For my blog, I wrote a media type source plugin that allows adding rich embeds of links (like on social platforms.)

Should I turn it into a contrib module? I call them "Embed links", I'm not sure what the project would be named.

My Fitbit Charge 5 took a dive (again.) I really enjoy the tracking features of Fitbit, like their sleep and other metrics. But, I'm growing ever frustrated at their devices.

No way I'm paying for Whoop. I'm considering a Garmin but I only know of them as having great hardware.

Does Garmin provide similar features to Fitbit?

I've been forever trying to think of a tattoo design coding related and I have had ZERO ideas.

Today one hit me. I was thinking a keycap. So smaller tattoo.

But I'm not sure which key - Esc or :; key. Or maybe a combo of three keys.

Anyone see something similar or have suggestions?

What would you prefer if you were a developer and had access to private support for a project? What would your organization be more willing to use?

Is it me, or did the #DrupalCon EU opening remarks and Driesnote disappear from https://www.youtube.com/@DrupalAssociation/videos

You've got to be shitting me.

I JUST migrated over from Stitcher.

What's everyone's favorite podcast app? I used Stitcher and it's shutting down. I loved it's show grouping, so I could easily play my short form morning shows easily.

I've also owned casterradio.app for a long time and considered building my own. Because developers always be developers.

Eleven years ago, I drove my truck and delivered beer for the last time and officially became a developer. Still wild anytime this photo pops up.

ChatGPT is wild. I haven't set up a virtual machine with Ansible in a while, since I usually work with containers. But a good ole virtual machine is a lot cheaper than deploying a containerized application.

It's wild how well it knows @geerlingguy's Ansible roles and how to configure them. At a quick glance it all looks fairly correct. Enough for me to try out tomorrow

I love how I gave myself a "Ready to publish" moderation state for my blog, assuming my future self would somehow have more than one blog ready to publish at any given time.

And not ad-hoc write them the day before or the morning of my weekly publication.

Hey @platformsh, a few notes regarding Retrofit in your D7 EOL blog

Retrofit isn't a module; it's a package – no typical Drupal module "installation" is required.

I also see it as a long-term solution for organizations to migrate custom D7 code to D10+.

Just tried Castbox for podcasts on Android and it feels clunky. Any recommendations?

Had to leave Stitcher and now migrate from Google Podcasts. I loved Stitcher's show grouping (tags in Castbox kind of close) and Google Podcasts queue experience.

Reviews for Pocket Casts seem 🚩 with recent changes.

Any #podcast player recommendations?

My sister-in-law is visiting Prague in a few months (totally forgot which month.) Does anyone have recommendations I could pass along to her for places to visit and things to try?

I know there is a way to unlock access to a private Discord server via Patreon or Twitch subscriptions, but has anyone seen or done this via GitHub Sponsors?

I'm sick of having to unplug and plug my monitors when I want to use my work or personal laptop. Does anyone have recommendations on a KVM switch or something similar?

I have the Logitech MX series which allows toggling between the two.

I haven't messed around with a new language in a while. It used to be a New Year's tradition.

I thought about checking out Flutter/Dart again. Maybe Swift or Kotlin.

Any suggestions?

Previous years have been Rust, Go, Flutter, React/Angular.
