Regular readers may remember back in 2022 I moved my personal project site TV Whirl first from 7 to 9, then shortly follwed on to Umbraco 10 on .net 6.0, which was then the Long Term Support release of the CMS (though I technically didn’t stick truly to the LTS releases as I never upgraded
The Umbraco Sustainability Team ran a short webinar this afternoon to give out lots of ideas and tips on various ways to improve the sustainability of your Umbraco website solutions. Many of the various aspects have been covered before in individual different talks, but it was good to have them all brought together into a
After many months of teasing us with release candidates, the final latest release of Microsoft’s .net 8 framework came out mid-November, marking the latest long-term-support release of .net core (for all we’re not supposed to include the ‘core’ moniker any more). Following the new roadmap plan of aligning their own LTS releases to that of
Introduction As discussed in my last post, over the summer I recently started looking at running Umbraco on a variety of mini PCs eventually putting together a longer talk, however this blog post serves as a more permanent record of the findings.
