  • Brief description:
    • Have you ever wanted a simple way to insert oEmbed content on your Drupal site? There’s a module for that.
  • Module name/project name:
  • Brief history
    • How old: created in Sep 2014 by the venerable Dave Reid, though recent releases are by Mark Fullmer of the University of Texas at Austin
    • Versions available: 2.0.0-alpha3 and 3.0.0-beta1, the latter of which works with Drupal 10.1 or 11. That said, it does declare a dependency on the Embed project, which unfortunately doesn’t yet have a Drupal 11-ready release
  • Maintainership
    • Actively maintained
    • Security coverage technically, but needs a stable release
    • Test coverage
    • Documentation guide
    • Number of open issues: 63 open issues, 4 of which are bugs against the current branch
  • Usage stats:
    • 7,088 sites
  • Module features and usage
    • A content creator using this module only needs to provide a URL to the content they want to embed, as the name suggests
    • The module provides both a CKEditor plugin and a formatter for link fields. Note that you will also need to enable a provided filter plugin for any text formats where you want users to use the CKEditor button
    • Probably the critical distinction between how this module works and other elements of the media system is that this bypasses the media library, and as such is better suited to “one off” uses of remote content like videos, social media posts, and more
    • It’s also worth mentioning that the module provides a hook to modify the parameters that will be passed to the oEmbed host, for example to set the number of posts to return from Twitter
    • I could definitely see this as a valuable addition to the Event Platform that we’ve talked about previously on the podcast, but the lack of a Drupal 11-ready release for the Embed module is an obvious concern. So, if any of our listeners want to take that on, it would be a valuable contribution to the community

Solutions have been released, which include the Ruby code for the Model layer, a desktop GUI View layer, and a Rails Web Frontend View layer: https://andymaleh.blogspot.com/2024/12/montrealrb-hack-night-solutions-for.html

GNUnet News: GNUnet 0.23.0

Posted on by Michael G

GNUnet 0.23.0 released

We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.23.0.

GNUnet is an alternative network stack for building secure, decentralized and
privacy-preserving distributed applications.
Our goal is to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack.
Starting from an application for secure publication of files, it has grown to
include all kinds of basic protocol components and applications towards the
creation of a GNU internet.

This is a new major release.
It breaks protocol compatibility with the 0.22.0X versions.
Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth (and has been for a
while)

INCOMPATIBLE

with
the 0.22.0X GNUnet network, and interactions between old and new peers
will result in issues.
In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still

a number of known open issues

in particular with respect to ease
of use, but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users.
Also, the nascent network is tiny and thus unlikely to
provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting information.
As a result, the 0.23.0 release is still

only suitable for early adopters
with some reasonable pain tolerance

.

Changes

A detailed list of changes can be found in the

git log

, the

NEWS

and
the

bug tracker

.
Noteworthy highlights are

  • Code review: A number of issues found during a code review have been addressed.

  • util

    : A

    GNUNET_OS_ProjectData

    must now be passed to some APIs that are commonly used by third parties using libgnunetutil (e.g. Taler, GNUnet-Gtk) as to properly handle cases where the GNUnet installation directory is different from the third-party directory.

  • Build System

    :
    Improved build times by outsourcing handbook to prebuilt files and only generating GANA source files manually.

Known Issues

  • There are known major design issues in the CORE subsystems which will need to be addressed in the future to achieve acceptable usability, performance and security.
  • There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that negatively impact performance.
  • There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact usability and performance.
  • There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create unnecessary attack surface for availability.
  • The RPS subsystem remains experimental.

In addition to this list, you may also want to consult our bug tracker at

bugs.gnunet.org

which lists about 190 more specific issues.

Thanks

This release was the work of many people. The following people contributed code and were thus easily identified:
Christian Grothoff, TheJackiMonster, oec, ch3, and Martin Schanzenbach.
