Converting M.2 2230 NVMe SSDs into CFexpress Type B Cards
CFexpress (CFe), announced in 2016, is based on PCI Express and NVM Express (NVMe) technologies.
It is possible to convert M.2 2230 NVMe SSDs into CFe Type B cards using adapters.
The rationale behind this conversion is that the price per gigabyte will likely be much lower than that of “proper” CFe cards.

From Drupal to WordPress
Thank you, Drupal.
While you are, in my opinions, a better designed and more proper CMS (Content Management System), taking care of you is perhaps taking a little bit too much time and effort for my ramblings. Moreover, since my favourite coat—box_cleanslate, doesn’t fit onto your latest body (D7), at last I decided to adopt WordPress instead.
I could have kept dating your last incarnation (D6) indefinitely, but sooner or later one will be forced to get with the times, as there will be no doctor to take care of you when you’re sick.
This blog entry and the discussion that follows sum up rather nicely the differences between you and WordPress, and the considerations one should take when deciding which to use.
By the way, to save the time and effort migrating the old content into the new system, I just used wget and turned the old domain into a static website.
