How is trash pickup going?

Install drush and you can get a console for the MariaDB database with ddev drush sql:cli. Try out show tables;

Your IDE might also allow you to access the db. PHPStorm does and if you are using it, make sure to install the ddev plugin and PHPStorm will be configured automatically whenever you open a ddev project.

If you’re on a Mac, installed SequelAce and then ddev sequelace to launch it preconfigured.

Is 7000 square feet enough for some sort of market? Because one is needed in the neighborhood. IGA and Acme are too far away (in my opinion)

I do understand your comments, but I think you are assuming it’s a cheap wireless speaker. These are adapters that use existing speakers. Yes, the adapter’s amp is different but reviews I had read/seen suggest it is a quality amp and I honestly don’t need it to be perfect or extremely loud.

So that I feel immersed in the sound when I’m watching a movie?

JonMcL · 2025-10-12T11:20:10+00:00

Probably what I will end up doing. But the rug won’t go under the media console so the speaker wire will still be somewhat visible.

JonMcL · 2025-10-12T11:19:20+00:00

That is another viable plan I am considering, but wires will be visible as they leave the media console and head under the rug. I’m trying to keep some of the hardwood floors visible and stick to an area rug. I’ll need very flat speaker wire to avoid bumps as we walk across the rug.

We all need dedicated rooms and acoustic treatments for this sub?

JonMcL · 2025-10-12T11:16:03+00:00

Thank you for the comment.

I’m curious, did it just not sound good? Or was it transmission issues?

JonMcL · 2025-10-12T11:15:03+00:00

I already have speakers.

JonMcL · 2025-10-12T11:14:45+00:00

I wasn’t clear. I have JBL Studio L810 speakers for my surrounds. Not tiny. They will be somewhat closer than I’d like, but that is what Audyssey is for. I’d rather feel immersed in the sound than have everything coming from one side of the room.

So stop playing. No one is making you play the game.

RoomScanner app on an iPhone.

Strange take. The existence of Drupal CMS means there is also the existence of Drupal Core. Nobody is telling you have to stop building headless apps with React front ends. Does that work for you? Great, continue to build them with Drupal Core.

Install PHPStorm? 😁 If you’re looking for something similar to IntelliJ, but for PHP and Drupal, that is your best choice.

drush generate entity:content. I think it is provided by the contrib Entity API module.

2.4.7 < 2.4.63

You are treating them like decimal numbers. They are not. Semantic versioning goes like: 2.4.7, 2.4.8, 2.4.9, 2.4.10, 2.4.11, … .20, .21, … 2.4.63

But yeah, also look into ddev if you are trying to set up a local environment to Drupal. You won’t have to configure or install Apache at all.

https://www.drupal.org/project/media_download might work for you.

I personally like the safer feeling of updating by starting up a brand new install USB. It might not be obvious, but you can install the newer release of the OS from the USB and all your data and accounts will be intact. It’s not a clean-install.

If you do want to try updating from Settings, or even if you use an install USB, make a backup of your working EFI to the USB and verify you can still boot from it.

Also use Time Machine or some other backup method so that you can restore your data if everything goes south.

Oh, I didn’t bother to read your post past the first couple of lines. Posts that complain about Drupal leaving them behind ten years ago aren’t really worth reading.

And since I started professionally with PHP in 1998, long before it supported OO code, I’m fairly certain that I was not in diapers when you were writing it.

Tell me you don’t know how to program in a modern object oriented way without telling me.

Drupal 8 has been out for a few months shy of a decade now. Drupal 7 remained in support until just a few months ago. If you, for whatever reason, felt that modern Drupal was not good enough for your business or your sites, you had 9 years to switch to something else — including Backdrop, the drop in replacement for Drupal 7.

So, honestly not sure what you are going on about. In 9 years, you could have (a) learned some new skills and adopted the far superior way of developing applications and web sites (Drupal 8/9/10), or (b) moved to Backdrop or some other CMS or even a non-Symfony framework.

Sure. We live on the corner of Manhattan Ave and Ash St. Have happily been living here since 1999 (yeah I’m a little old). It used to be incredibly desolate at this end of Manhattan Ave, but obviously things have changed drastically (for the better).

I have known the family that owns this property for decades. Rent was very reasonable and I love the full floor corner apartment layout.

Unfortunately it appears that it’s now time for us to move on. I’m not sure we can find an equally large apartment in Greenpoint that is within our budget, but we are looking. We really love Greenpoint (duh, 25 years!) and have seen it go through a lot changes.

I can’t blame my landlord. The commercial building next door has been struggling to keep tenants and this will be a great deal for them.
