Our daughter was born at the end of July, so i haven’t been able to make the wekly posts… but as a reminder to myself, these are some of the projects i wanted to look at from Ethan Sholly’s site over the last few weeks.
Mullvad: Donation controversy: “It should be clear by now how the party donation relates to this. Mullvad does not condone it, nor condemn it. It most likely was a bad idea; most things where there are a multitude of conflicting opinions necessarily are. But societies need a great diversity of ideas, initiatives and organizations who can be tested and sifted until the best ones remain. Ideally through rational debate.”

feat(server): experimental Jellyfin Music API - #5730#5730: “Adds experimental support for the Jellyfin Music API, letting Jellyfin-compatible clients browse and stream a Navidrome library.

Disabled by default, gated behind a new [Jellyfin] config section.”

I just thought this was fun since it’s work for an older system.

The mobile app gets offline reading, so you can save articles to your device and read them on a plane, along with new layouts, sorting, and one-tap clipboard saving. Cookie and GDPR consents should be something of the past with this release (finally). Plus a big batch of crawler, security and performance fixes.”
