@mglaman@phpc.social bypass is essentially the admin permission for nodes, just differently named because it was split. Administer nodes is just leftovers that are very very slowly split into dedicated permissions such as the recently added publish content permission
@mglaman@phpc.social did what? We split bypass and access overview from the general admin permission on purpose yes. The mess that the admin permission now is just a byproduct which is why we want to remove it completely
@mglaman@phpc.social Acktuallly... only bypass node access is the super permission. It was split off from the administer permission which only handles some weird leftovers like access to status and promote fields
Released Redis 2.0.0-alpha2 with various performance improvements and a neat new drush report that includes more information on expired and invalidated items and impact of cache tag invalidations. https://www.drupal.org/project/redis/releases/2.0.0-alpha2
The alpha quality mostly refers to the API stability, I expect it should run reliable and we're about to roll it out in production.
@swentel Something I've wanted to try for a while is to integrate it in our company website, and essentially have articles/blog posts be posts that are shared, or maybe a bit of automation that creates a post for each article if that's easier. Any opinions on whether that's feasible or a good idea? it's also related to https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub/issues/3318782 as public author infos are profile nodes and not users, but it might be sufficient if I can just alter it a bit based on the connected profile
I've been busy working on a large number of performance improvements in Drupal 11.3 and contributed projects, together with @catch56@kolektiva.social and many others.
Everything combined, we're seeing hundreds of queries less on complex pages. On one specific example page that we measured in a cold cache scenario, that's a reduction of 670 queries, 62% of the total queries. And that doesn't even include similarly reduced cache lookups and writes.
