Het ziet er naar uit dat AI Agents met LLMs het landschap gaan veranderen hoe wij, als mensen met systemen gaan communiceren.

I’d like to highlight a contributed module called Push Framework Notifications and explain how this module can be integrated with your Drupal site within the Push Framework module. In this article I will demo how it works on https://ccns.news.

Als ouder van twee dochters erger ik me echt aan wat YouTube Kids doet—en, specifieker nog, aan wat ze niet doen. Hun belofte is om mij zeggenschap te geven, maar in de praktijk voelt het alsof die belofte is gebroken. In deze blog schrijf ik mijn persoonlijke worstelingen en mijn toekomstige zorgen op.

As a parent of two daughters, I'm really annoyed by what YouTube Kids is doing—and, more specifically, by what they're not doing. Their promise is to give me agency, but in practice it feels broken. So I'm writing down my personal struggles and my future concerns.

When you add a website as a progressive web app (PWA) on your iOS device, Apple avoids content being hidden below the notches. But with some tweaks we can cover the entire screen so your PWA will feel even more native.

Learn how to update your Drupal modules by migrating traditional hooks to the new class-based hook system which is a potential requirement for Drupal 12.

After I updated the Symfony Mailer contrib module to version 1.6.1, all emails attachments were missing of the emails being sent.

After 1 year deciding to do more with Nostr, my love for the protocol has grown significant. It's not only the protocol, but also being part of an ideology-driven movement is something that really hits a sensitive chord.

On June 12th I attended the yearly Drupaljam conference for the fifth time. My first attend was in 2017. This time it was a special one to remember as I had the honour to meet Dries in person and have some pleasant talks about Nostr.

The Drush sql:sync and sql:cli commands stopped working and here is why (it applies to the latest MariaDB server versions).

At DrupalCon Portland 2024 Dries announced a big and ambitious initiative for Drupal: Starshot. The goal is to build a new default experience for less technical people to build websites with Drupal. This version will extend all core features provided by Drupal combined with all the best community-contributed modules out there.

From May 23 till May 25 I was in the Bitcoin capital of The Netherlands: Arnhem. There was a full program around the conference day on Saturday. I and many other bitcoiners gathered to celebrate the 10th anniversary of #bitcoincity Arnhem.

In de Satoshi Radio podcast aflevering 311 legt Bert Slagter met een paar woorden uit waarom privacy binair is. Hoe denk ik daar over?

What if the government is watching you 24/7? For China citizens fighting for human freedom rights this is the reality. This documentary shows how mass surveillance could look like anywhere in any future for discerning citizens. In my opinion this this already exists in our Western democracy in the form of BigTech co-working with many governments.

As a fullstack Drupal developer I’m already working more than two years on an ambitious project for Health-Thing. The project offers a platform where knowlegde is shared between young healthcare professionals about their wellbeing. With this platform the goal is to retain them in this healthcare space as there is a massive fallout in this sector.

My goal was to find an easy to install, use and configure Nostr relay implementation with custom policies. For example I would like to set a policy where I configure specific event kinds to be transmitted by the relay.

I'm using Proton as my default email service provider since 2022. I’ve more than 500GB storage available. This is quite a lot for just email. So I asked myself, how can I use the remaining amount of storage as an extra backup storage solution with their service Proton Drive?

Apple is going all-in with a fight against the EU by disabling all WebApp and PWA (progressive web app) features only in EU countries.

This seems like a obvious no-brainer, but the current social media platforms do no feed our best interests based on commons. It's your attention that's being harvested for their own interests. Let me outline why enjoyable social networking should work based on commons.

For me this is quite a challenging topic to point out in this blog. In this blog I'm writing some stuff out loud.
