Getting the parent node of a Drupal 8+ node
There are some circumstances that you want to get data from the node one level up a menu from your current node. However, doing that is not self-explanatory since there isn't actually any direct relationship between the nodes. I'll be referring to the nodes as "parent" and "child" for simplicity despite this.
Including Patches in Drupal Contrib Modules
Occasionally in building a Drupal module (this was especially relevant for 7.x but even with 11 is still relevant), you can't actually quite do what you want to do without a change to another module or core. Every effort should be made to avoid that but there are instances that it is truly required and the right method.
Setting up Brotli Extension for PHP
The Brotli extension for PHP, integrates the Brotli compression algorithm for use in PHP. Brotli compression is similar to gzip but has a higher compression ratio - up to 30% bandwidth savings.
Drupal 10 site upgrade
My experience upgrading my first production site from Drupal 9 to 10. Had run quite a few test Drupal 10 sites, and upgraded some tests but this was the first live upgrade of a real site with all the warts and contrib modules that usually entails. Despite it being almost 3 weeks until Drupal 10's launch, it was fairly smooth - certainly smoother than most D8->9 upgrades even a couple weeks *post* D9 launch.
BC Electoral Boundaries - Colwood - JdF Could make sense
In Canada, every few years the electoral boundaries are redrawn by an independent Electoral Boundaries Comission (EBC). For BC, it is after every 2nd general election. The draft redistricting has arrived and I'm not happy with it for the South end of Vancouver Island. Instead I want to propose a Colwood - Juan de Fuca riding.
