Does the process of configuring modules and setting up content types manually from scratch sound all too familiar? Have you ever wished for a secret ingredient to simplify your Drupal development process? That’s exactly what recipes bring to the table: a structured approach to site building that saves you precious hours of trial and error. After all, in the world of development, time equals money.

I will be giving a Montreal.rb Ruby meetup talk titled “Frontend Ruby with Glimmer DSL for Web” on Wednesday, March 6 2024 at 7pm ET (doors open at 6:15pm ET). The event will be hosted at Lexop (Montreal, Quebec, Canada). Click below to read the talk description. In my opinion, this is the most exciting Ruby topic in 2024 for doubling productivity and halving cost and time in developing and maintaining Rails Frontends compared to using inferior JS technologies like React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, etc… I strongly believe this will be the most important Ruby investment in 2024. Anyone who ignores it will be stuck in what is like the Ice Age of Frontend Development by comparison, kinda like riding horse carriage compared to driving a Ferrari. https://andymaleh.blogspot.com/2024/02/upcoming-march-2023-montrealrb-talk.html

Import mwx(4) a driver for Mediatek MT7921 and MT7922 802.11ax devices

This is work in progress. Scan works, RX of packets is more or less there
but TX does not work yet. The packets are passed to the chip but get stuck
or ignored there. It is easy to hang the device or the system since device
reset is not quite right (like many other bits).

Also this is only for MT7921 right now since I have no access to a MT7922
device.

Lots of pushing from deraadt@ to commit this now.

So, WIP and
MT7921-only
[at this stage], but very promising.

What was hot on the forum this week

I wrote different boot managers. Three boot managers are available as download. The Plop Boot Manager 5, PlopKexec and the new boot manager PBM6. The new boot manager is under development. ↫ Elmar Hanlhofer I had never heard of the three Plop boot managers, written by Elmar Hanlhofer, but they seem like quite the capable tools. First, Plop Boot Manager 5 is the most complete version, but it’s also quite outdated by now, with its last release stemming from 2013. That being said, it’s incredibly feature-packed, but since it lacks EUFI support, its use case seems more focused on legacy systems. PBM6, meanwhile, is the modern version with EUFI support, but it’s not complete and is under development, with regular releases. Finally, PlopKexec is exactly what the name implies – a boot manager that uses the Linux kernel. I’ve never encountered these before, but they seem quite interesting, and if it wasn’t for how much I do not like messing with bootloaders, I’d love to give these a go. Have any of you ever used it?
