This week on #ProFed: the web client has its first non-public page: the settings page, complete with login. It's also the first page that doesn't just display data but saves it too. Small step, but it means the full web client stack is now tested end to end.

So is this what happens when you have a policy platform that talks to issues that matter to people?

👀 new 3rd-party Mastodon/fediverse client
🤔 can't find the English translation. Even the browser's built-in translator is failing maybe due to its usage of Flutter.
This five star review makes full use of synonyms:
the worst transit system on Earth
the least efficient form of transit on the Vegas Strip
the world’s dumbest form of transportation
sad little system
exactly like the sewer system in “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”

A unique moment. Having 7 packages in the repo now and they're all updated this week ;-).

Dear website designers for my #benefits provider:
If your claim submission form gets persnickety that a Canadian postal code MUST have the space i.e. `A1B 2C3` and yet insists that the phone number NOT have any spaces i.e. `6661234567` then I really hate you.

Not sure why, but within the LAN I've needed to whitelist all hosts using #Jellyfin clients, otherwise their IP gets blocked by Fail2Ban after about an hour of watching. I fear this would happen to remote viewers too, but not sure I've ever watched more than an hour remotely. No idea if any other remote client services do the same, I've not let them run more than a few minutes.
Is this perhaps a #debian #ufw #Fail2Ban setting I should know about?

My elderly Mom uses #Thunderbird as her client for gmail. Yay for #SilverFOSS !
This is the second time it's become unusable.
The culprit? the same as the last time...she has an ungodly amount of emails open in tabs and it just crashes. Troubleshoot mode seems to get by that to let me 'Close Other Tabs' on a tab.
Boggles my mind it doesn't have some way to 'open clean' without loading the open emails...or at least a setting.
