This post is meant for a little reflection because I’ve noticed a few things that I can’t quite place.

My April ‘23 in Review

I almost forgot this monthly review, although it should actually be a routine after more than two years. But so much exciting has not happened this month…

Viewing PDFs in Firefox works again
Published on in 💬 Micro
A few months ago I complained about Firefox not being able to open PDFs without downloading them. Recently, I also wanted to start developing a custom Firefox addon to fix this behavior.
So what happened? I noticed that it didn’t happen on my work computer. Very strange…
I dug into the settings and found that on my work computer, Firefox was configured to open PDFs in Firefox, while on my home computer, it was configured to ask where to open them first. Changing it to “Open in Firefox” seems to work without downloading the PDF and saving it to the Downloads folder first. This was definitely not the case last year.
Searching online, I also found another hidden preference browser.download.open_pdf_attachments_inline. I guess it’s for when the HTTP response header Content-Disposition contains attachment. So if you enable it, it should also open those PDFs that are configured to be downloaded without downloading them.
Maybe the behavior changed when Firefox added the feature to open PDFs in the browser without downloading on Android?
At least I’m happy again. 😄

I’ve talked about this a few times and posted some of the pictures OneDrive shows me every day. Photos taken on the same day, week or month in previous years. It always gives me a “throwback” and I think about the situation at the time I took the photo.

I deleted my Twitter account a long time ago, but sometimes I still used Nitter to search Twitter or we linked tweets. I decided to stop that and removed Nitter from my home server and added “twitter.com” to the deny list at NextDNS. There are too many reasons to list here.
And I replaced deCONZ for my ConBee II ZigBee adapter with Zigbee Home Automation in Home Assistant. Seems much more stable and one less piece of software to worry about.
Spring cleaning? 🧹

IndiePass, Indigenous or whatever it’s called now (for Android) supports unlisted and private posts now! 🎉 Or did it already before and I just did not notice the setting? At least that was a feature I always missed and needed to use frontmatter when creating a new reply for example. Thanks Mark Sutherland!

Samsung is known for using Apple references in their advertisements. In this ad, they do it again. Kind of funny. 😂
