Golems GABB: Boosting Productivity in Drupal with Composer 2
Composer 2 is an effective solution for increasing productivity when working with Drupal. Everyone knows the situation when simple operations take a lot of time. Using Composer in Drupal makes developers' lives easier.
To speed up workflows, web developers often use the same code many times in many projects. This code can be written not only by other people; that's not the point. Regarding programming, rewriting code is a concern for many developers. Composer allows you to get rid of this problem. You can save parts of PHP code and use them for other projects.

ListenData: Complete Guide to Visual ChatGPT
In this post, we will talk about how to run Visual ChatGPT in Python with Google Colab. ChatGPT has garnered huge popularity recently due to its capability of human style response. As of now, it only provides responses in text format, which means it cannot process, generate or edit images. Microsoft recently released a solution for the same to handle images. Now you can ask ChatGPT to generate or edit the image for you.
Demo of Visual ChatGPTIn the image below, you can see the final output of Visual ChatGPT - how it looks like.

In this post we have covered AutoGPT in detail. By end of this tutorial, you will not only understand how it works but also will be able to run it on your system. Auto-GPT has gained a significant amount of popularity in the media. It has become one of the most talked-about topics across various social media platforms after ChatGPT. It has not only captured the attention of people in Artifical Intelligence community but also people from other background. Media outlets across countries covered it and reported how it can automate everything ranging from simple to complex tasks.
Table of Contents What is AutoGPT?AutoGPT is an experimental open-source project built on the latest ChatGPT model i.e GPT-4. It is not limited to ChatGPT as it can also do web search and try to find information from internet. When a client gives us a project with instructions on what to do. We, as analysts, perform tasks to fulfill the project requirements. In the same way, by assigning a project to AutoGPT, it will do on its own all the necessary tasks to meet the project's requirements.
Let's say you ask AutoGPT to do market research about different headphones in the market. It will do web search and try to find this information on internet and produce output for you in a cleaned and structured format. See the video below.

In this article we have covered everything about the latest multilingual speech model from the basics of how it works to the step-by-step implementation of the model in Python.
Meta, the company that owns Facebook, released a new AI model called Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS) that can convert text to speech and speech to text in over 1,100 languages. It is available for free. It will not only help academicians and researchers across the world but also language preservationists or activists to document and preserve endangered languages to prevent their extinction.
MMS is trained on a large dataset of text and audio in over 1,100 languages. Another best part about the model is that it generates audio which sounds very natural, like human speech. It is also able to identify more than 4,000 spoken languages.

Talk Python to Me: #457: Software Supply Chain Security with Phylum
Gábor Hojtsy: This is how I update my Drupal modules to Drupal 11 with only GitLab and drupal.org in my browser!
Drupal's adoption of GitLab lead to five times faster test runtimes but for this post I will look at how it makes it much easier to update modules to a new major version. It is now possible to fully use the user interface of drupal.org and drupal.org's GitLab features to make modules compatible and even make new releases available. I'll use one of my modules as an example: Upgrade Rector. Let's walk through what I did.

[ Chris Lamb ] * Ensure that tests with ">=" version constraints actually print the corresponding tool name. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#370) * Prevent odt2txt tests from always being skipped due to an impossibly new version requirement. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#369) * Avoid nested parens-in-parens when printing "skipping…" messages in the testsuite.You find out more by visiting the project homepage.
Drupalize.Me: Tuning Drupalize.Me Search Results with Solr Query Re-Ranking and Search API
During the Drupal 7 era, we created tutorials on a variety of topics such as Views, Drush, Form API, and theming. When Drupal 8 was released, we updated this content for Drupal 8, 9, and 10. The significant changes between Drupal 7 and modern versions necessitated maintaining two versions of each tutorial on our site: one for legacy Drupal and another for modern Drupal.
Today, we still maintain both versions. The use of our legacy Drupal content has steadily decreased, yet it still has a substantial presence in search results. This often leads to confusion, especially when members trying to learn about features in modern Drupal find themselves on a legacy Drupal tutorial.
In this article, Joe Shindelar writes about his coding experiments to tune search results on Drupalize.Me to favor Drupal 10 content, and demote Drupal 7 content.
joe Thu, 04/18/2024 - 15:44Drupal Association blog: New Things Happening At DrupalCon Portland
I attended my first DrupalCon in 2010 in San Francisco, and since then have attended six more in the US and two in Europe. Many elements stay the same, and are a welcome and treasured part of the DrupalCon experience: The DriesNote, the group picture, the keynotes, the BOFs, the sessions and trainings and parties and hallway conversation, on and on. While you can look forward to more of those this year, here are a few additional features that have been added this year to Drupalcon Portland 2024:
Marketing TrackRecognizing the value that effective marketing brings to Drupal websites, DrupalCon 2024 will feature a substantial amount of content specifically targeted to marketers. The Marketing Track features a dozen sessions of particular interest to CMOs and other marketing professionals, including presentations about AI, Personalization, Content Strategy, and multi-channel engagement. Stay tuned for more information about content of particular interest to CMOs.
Extended Welcoming PartyEverybody likes a party, and this year the opening reception is two full hours. You can look forward to dancing to the robot DJ on a light-up dance floor, recording yourself in the 360 photobooth, playing with a giant Lite Brite, and enjoying free food and drink.
Nonprofit SummitIt’s back! After a short break, the Nonprofit Summit returns to DrupalCon, connecting Drupal users from the Nonprofit sector with each other. Facilitated discussions, round table group sessions, and special pricing for the conference and summit are just a few of the features that will help deliver the power of Drupal to one of our most important communities.
Enhanced focus on studentsDrupal needs to continuously attract new people. Recognizing this, DrupalCon 2024 is making extra efforts to reach out to students. Targeted advertising to local student communities, focusing on the career-enhancing opportunities of the Drupalcon job fair, mentorship, resume help, and a special student discount price of only $50, job fair, mentorship, and resume help are a few of the enhancements that are specifically aimed at students.
Community-designed DrupalCon T-shirtNew this year, the Drupal Association ran a design contest for the official DrupalCon Portland t-shirt. Many great entries were received, and the winning design will be announced at DrupalCon, and available on the free attendee T-shirt.
As you can see, there are lots of new reasons to join the Drupal community in Portland this May. We can’t wait to see you, so register here!
Jonathan McDowell: Sorting out backup internet #2: 5G modem
Having setup recursive DNS it was time to actually sort out a backup internet connection. I live in a Virgin Media area, but I still haven’t forgiven them for my terrible Virgin experiences when moving here. Plus it involves a bigger contractual commitment. There are no altnets locally (though I’m watching youfibre who have already rolled out in a few Belfast exchanges), so I decided to go for a 5G modem. That gives some flexibility, and is a bit easier to get up and running.
I started by purchasing a ZTE MC7010. This had the advantage of being reasonably cheap off eBay, not having any wifi functionality I would just have to disable (it’s going to plug it into the same router the FTTP connection terminates on), being outdoor mountable should I decide to go that way, and, finally, being powered via PoE.
For now this device sits on the window sill in my study, which is at the top of the house. I printed a table stand for it which mostly does the job (though not as well with a normal, rather than flat, network cable). The router lives downstairs, so I’ve extended a dedicated VLAN through the study switch, down to the core switch and out to the router. The PoE study switch can only do GigE, not 2.5Gb/s, but at present that’s far from the limiting factor on the speed of the connection.
The device is 3 branded, and, as it happens, I’ve ended up with a 3 SIM in it. Up until recently my personal phone was with them, but they’ve kicked me off Go Roam, so I’ve moved. Going with 3 for the backup connection provides some slight extra measure of resiliency; we now have devices on all 4 major UK networks in the house. The SIM is a preloaded data only SIM good for a year; I don’t expect to use all of the data allowance, but I didn’t want to have to worry about unexpected excess charges.
Performance turns out to be disappointing; I end up locking the device to 4G as the 5G signal is marginal - leaving it enabled results in constantly switching between 4G + 5G and a significant extra latency. The smokeping graph below shows a brief period where I removed the 4G lock and allowed 5G:
(There’s a handy zte.js script to allow doing this from the device web interface.)
I get about 10Mb/s sustained downloads out of it. EE/Vodafone did not lead to significantly better results, so for now I’m accepting it is what it is. I tried relocating the device to another part of the house (a little tricky while still providing switch-based PoE, but I have an injector), without much improvement. Equally pinning the 4G to certain bands provided a short term improvement (I got up to 40-50Mb/s sustained), but not reliably so.
This is disappointing, but if it turns out to be a problem I can look at mounting it externally. I also assume as 5G is gradually rolled out further things will naturally improve, but that might be wishful thinking on my part.
Rather than wait until my main link had a problem I decided to try a day working over the 5G connection. I spend a lot of my time either in browser based apps or accessing remote systems via SSH, so I’m reasonably sensitive to a jittery or otherwise flaky connection. I picked a day that I did not have any meetings planned, but as it happened I ended up with an adhoc video call arranged. I’m pleased to say that it all worked just fine; definitely noticeable as slower than the FTTP connection (to be expected), but all workable and even the video call was fine (at least from my end). Looking at the traffic graph shows the expected ~ 10Mb/s peak (actually a little higher, and looking at the FTTP stats for previous days not out of keeping with what we see there), and you can just about see the ~ 3Mb/s symmetric use by the video call at 2pm:
The test run also helped iron out the fact that the content filter was still enabled on the SIM, but that was easily resolved.
Up next, vaguely automatic failover.
Thomas Koch: Good things come ... state folder
Just a little while ago (10 years) I proposed the addition of a state folder to the XDG basedir specification and expanded the article XDGBaseDirectorySpecification in the Debian wiki. Recently I learned, that version 0.8 (from May 2021) of the spec finally includes a state folder.
Granted, I wasn’t the first to have this idea (2009), nor the one who actually made it happen.
Now, please go ahead and use it! Thank you.
