The neighborhood is becoming quite green. 🌳🏡

And summer is coming. I’m going for a little walk after it has rained heavily.

The new Firefox design arrived. My first impression: The tab bar looks a bit weird, especially with just one tab open. But all in all it looks more modern and reminds me of the Firefox Android version. I think I like it. 🤔

Of course there will be many, many people crying about the new design and telling everyone, that they will stop using Firefox…

I have now completely disabled logging on my sites. Why? Because I don’t need the logs. Sometimes I used GoAccess to analyze the 30 days of logs, but I did that less and less and it doesn’t bring me any benefit. If any page is broken, I hope someone will send me a message.
