My music library is a fountain of memories I'd otherwise have forgotten by now. I can tell you which Monstercat compilation I was listening to the first time I played hooky from college, driving 2 hours to visit my first partner. I can picture the hotel room I was sitting in while listening to Rossz Csillag Alatt Született that one time. And Mouth Silence was the unofficial soundtrack of my senior year college job. But those are just a few sparse anchor points. What if I wanted to know what else I was listening to around these times?

I wrote some custom CSS to bestow Jellyfin's web client with a blurred backdrop on detail pages. The code is mildly cursed, but I'm quite fond of how the result looks. You can use it too if you want!

About 20 years ago, Google shook the world with its newest product: Gmail, a free email service with an entire gigabyte of storage attached. It was the start of a beautiful, connected world. Apple then casually dropped the most revolutionary computing device of the century, and Microsoft remembered how to make a good operating system with Windows 7. Streaming services like Netflix and Spotify completely reshaped how we consume media, while social platforms like Facebook and Twitter did the same for our online conversations. Consumer technology was taking over our lives, and we ate it up. Guys, the free market works! It really works!!
