> leadership at Jellyfin decided to throw the blanket after a burning themselves out for free.

What does this mean?

[zbentley]

I think that they meant “throw in the towel”? Not positive though.

That's what I meant, yes!

I always have a hard time with this one because, in French, it's not a towel that is thrown: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/jeter_l%27%C3%A9ponge

The French version version naturally comes to my mind, even when I'm thinking in English, and then I can't find the translation because it's too close, yet so different.

[zbentley]

I mix up "throw down the gauntlet" and "throw in the towel" at least monthly, don't worry.

It means that I haven't slept enough to not make mistakes!
