I wanted to add an emoji to a comment I just made on my last post, and I wanted something more than the old-style :) emoticon which I have used for (mumble) years. A quick Google told me about the ckeditor_emoji module for Dupal, with a comment by Jeff Geerling of all people (A YouTuber I occasionally watch, who has contributed many Ansible modules I regularly use), to make sure that your Drupal database supports the "utf8mb4" encoding.

I just spent the day (and then some) upgrading both the development version of this site and this site, and it has not been a fun upgrade. Part of the problem was that I had to switch themes, as the d8_blog_theme has apparently stopped being maintained. But thanks to my friend Dave, who does Drupal professionally, he cloned the repo and did some fixes in addition to making it compatible with Drupal 11.
