May is now also over and we are getting closer and closer to summer and the middle of 2024. Time to take a quick look back.
May is over, June has already started, so here is my short review of the past month.
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. 🤔

I use a partial in my Hugo theme to replace relative links with absolute links in the content in XML (RSS) and JSON (JSON Feed, ActivityStream) files. It has a regular expression to find and replace all relative links with their abolute version. It’s probably easy to modify to replace relative image sources too.
