As mentioned in the write up, they were a big inspiration.
I'm excited to share an experiment I've been working on: a solar-powered, self-hosted website running on a Raspberry Pi. The goal was to use the smallest, most energy-efficient setup possible, even if it means the website goes offline sometimes. Yes, this site may go down on cloudy or cold days. But don't worry! When the sun comes out, the website will be back up, powered by sunshine. https://dri.es/my-solar-powered-and-self-hosted-website
A new CMS is announced and it's called Drupal CMS 🤓
For those who know Drupal, I think this could be somewhat confusing. In the past Drupal started as a CMS and even became the best CMS out there. With the adoption of the #PHP framework #Symfony the software involved into a toolset / framework to build any type of website / webapp. So the current version of Drupal is so much more than a CMS. With this new release of Drupal, the goal is to outline that niche feature of Drupal. I'm very curious how this will involve next year and if Drupal CMS can gain some traction in the competitive landscape of website building tools.
Great work so far nostr:npub176xpl3dl0agjt7vjeccw6v5grlx8f9mhc75aazwvvqfjvq5al8uszj5asu 🙏

Thank you! 🙏🏻
Looks great now! 🙏🏻
That works! The feed is missing a description though. Enjoy your vacation! Thank you! 
Looks great! The purple UI is a nice touch. 👍🏻 Can I subscribe to updates using RSS? I find it easier than following on Nostr itself. Social media tends to get noisy, and content often gets lost. RSS is better at ensuring I don’t miss anything.
As I was building cross-posting long-form content (NIP-23) to Nostr from a Drupal CMS, I was not able to find a good WYSIWYG rich text editor which outputs Markdown formatted content. CKEditor version 5 is shipped in the latest versions of Drupal which formats your text to HTML. I found the markdown_output plugin in the very rich ecosystem of CKEditor. A plugin that provides me the solution I was looking for.
It was not easy to get it to use within Drupal, but doing hard things is often more rewarding than doing a lot of easy things.
Last week I released the first beta release of the module called CKEditor5_Markdown_Editor for Drupal. With this module you can enable the Markdown output plugin in the settings of your text formatter.
The result is quite simple as you can see here:

nostr:npub176xpl3dl0agjt7vjeccw6v5grlx8f9mhc75aazwvvqfjvq5al8uszj5asu this raises a questionmark how to cross-post your blog content to Nostr as I assume your content if formatted in HTML 🤔
#Drupal #CKEditor5 #Markdown #NIP23
Yes, all my content is currently stored as HTML. I assume Nostr requires plain text content?
I spent 30 minutes verifying that https://dri.es/ is ready for the upgrade to Drupal 11. It's ready, and I'm excited about it. I then spent another 30 minutes documenting the tools and workflow I use to update my custom Drupal code. https://dri.es/major-version-upgrades-in-drupal-tools-and-workflow #drupal #digitalgarden

80 KitKat websites switched to @Drupal and @Acquia in less than 18 months. The result: a massive 1,000% boost in traffic, a 50% drop in bounce rate, and 3 times the pageviews compared to their old sites. More details here: https://dri.es/kitkat-gets-a-break-with-drupal-and-acquia
Good question, and glad to see you here!
I've updated my personal website, https://dri.es/, to the latest version of #Drupal, which is Drupal 10.0.9. It's incredible to see how much hard work and dedication goes into each release of Drupal, even into a bug fix release like Drupal 10.0.9. You can get a good idea of all the work that was done by checking out the release notes at https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/releases/10.0.9. I'm grateful to everyone who contributed to Drupal 10.0.9!
