I built my own Jellyfin macOS client with the help of LLM. It has unique features, like:

- A seek bar like the one found in DJ software that always stays in time with the rhythm of the song.
- Track analysis to highlight key moments on the seek bar.
- VU meter
- Color coding for song file quality (low quality in blue, good quality in gold)

FreeBSD-backed! πŸ‘Ή

New blog post.

Very nostalgic and chaotic.

I'm trying to recall what life was like before we were constantly connected, because I don't want to forget the details and pass them on to the next generation.

Life Before Smartphones: Late 90s and Early 2000s – Alexander Deplov

I upgraded my workspace a little. I used an old iPad and an iPhone 5 for decoration, haha!

Holy moly! Smoothly rounded, aliased corner radius for FreeBSD? Squircles?!

Yes, it's possible now! Wow! This is exactly what I've always wanted. The next step is to build my own window manager for my beloved #Freebsd

With perfect fonts rendering and more!

Stay tuned!

Google posted in blog:
"By transforming static designs into interactive prototypes instantly, Stitch allows you to experience the user journey immediately…"

Then there's this huge play button that looks like it would play the promo video, but it doesn't work!

It's just a static image, not a video. Nice one, Google. Now, iterate on that post.

I'm not sure I like the way #macOS 26 shows the seek bar behind the glass.

When the slider reaches the end, the x position dramatically increases. Will the volume increase dramatically, too? It's so confusing.

It's time to upgrade #Freebsd 14.3 to 14.4 Release!

Wow, this looks so passionate. I never tried #FreeBSD but this article really makes me curious

Why I Love FreeBSD

A personal reflection on my first encounter with FreeBSD in 2002, how it shaped the way I design and run systems, and why its philosophy, stability, and community still matter to me more than twenty years later.
