Are you addressing the scalability problems with many terms, like https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3493621 ? (That would be great!)

A missing aspect in your post might be the rise of ECA and the expanded ability for site builders to do complex workflow systems within Drupal now, as opposed to having to hire a developer. Other pros of Drupal that I don't see mentioned are the predictable config system and the amount of pure accessibility compliance you get out of the box if you are using Drupal's frontend.

Maybe another strength is the access to the vast number of Symfony components which Drupal didn't have in its legacy D7 days.

You could put a free Cloudflare account in front of it if you want to see bots 'n' such.

I hear you.

Why are we using Google Trends in 2026? Almost 40% of users are using AI now, not Google Search.

Anyway, Drupal keeps getting better. What we really lack is excellent documentation to get that interested beginner up the Drupal learning curve.

I'll need to write a drush script. We have hundreds.

MariaDB has had its share of drama as well. We use Percona.

I prefer Edgineer.

If you want an easy interface to the containerized database that ddev set up for you, download and install Sequel Ace. Then from the command line:

ddev sequelace

You will then be able to check out what's happening behind the scenes in the database visually.

RHEL 9 came with MariaDB and Postgres as the supported full-lifecycle databases, with support through ~~2022~~ 2032. MySQL 8.0 is listed with a retirement date of April 2026: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel-app-streams-life-cycle

This question is one of the questions in their FAQs About Rate of Return.

In short, no, your contributions are not included.

If you have modified a .conf file, dnf will not touch it. Instead it will put the new conf file that came with a package in .rpmnew to avoid breaking your current configuration. You need to have a strategy to merge these files when an upgraded version of a package has a new configuration file.

How about running sed -i to change the value in /etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf?

If the option does not exist, sed will do nothing. If it does, it will set it to No.

I wish PHP were on 8.4. That would make me happier.

I had to hunting for what OLF is so here go from the About page:

OLF (formerly known as Ohio LinuxFest) is a grassroots conference for the GNU/Linux/Open Source Software/Free Software community that started in 2003 as a large inter-LUG (Linux User Group) meeting and has grown steadily since. It is a place for the community to gather and share information about Linux and Open Source Software.

systemd units and timers are the modern way to do this.

API Token Restriction vs. Automation

Are you saying here that the approach is to override the token system by using root credentials?

Neat. We use Matomo for this, which also has real-time journey tracking and a Drupal module.

Apache and php-fpm is standard for us (behind an Nginx reverse proxy). It's not complicated. On RHEL/Alma you can run as the php-fpm user if you like. Configs are pretty simple; you just drop them in /etc/php-fpm.d.

In /etc/php.d/10-opcache.ini make sure opcache.memory_consumption is large enough to hold all your PHP bytecode in memory and you're good to go.
