poglet··on Apple announces Foundation Models and Containerization frameworks, etc
Try the Brave browser for YouTube. I used Jellyfin for my media library and that seemed to work fine for tv and movies.

I just got a Macbook and haven't touched my iPad Pro since, I would think I could make a change faster on a Macbook then iPad if they were both in my bag. Although I do miss the cellular data that the iPad has.

Wishing there was a capable Lightroom alternative.
poglet··on What, if anything, should I do about using Mozilla's Firefox
There is Waterfox that syncs with the Firefox bookmark service. Testing it out for the last day, also looking for an option on iOS otherwise will stick with Firefox.

Black Mesa is a great way to re-experience HL1 too.
poglet··on Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System
I’ve been using this for years, it’s almost perfect but there are a few little issues here in there. My TV automatically updated the jellfin client which no longer could connect to my server that was frustrating. Another update stopped supporting many of the plug-ins I enjoyed using. I have issues with thumbnails not loading and not knowing how buffering works. I find it difficult to troubleshoot issues. 99% of the time it is perfect and I love it.

It appears to have elements of '3D Maze' and 'Flying Windows' (Windows 3.1).
poglet··on Migrating from DokuWiki to Obsidian
I started migrating from OneNote to BookStack wiki. Loving it so far, but am not sure how backups and data exports work.

It's nice to be able to have it publicly available and accessible from any internet connection.

poglet··on Locked out of 14 year old YouTube channel because tied to Hotmail.com email
Enforcing MFA or registering with phone numbers wasn't required on email accounts back in the day.
poglet··on Locked out of 14 year old YouTube channel because tied to Hotmail.com email
Sorry to hear about this issue, I hope you can get your account back.

If anyone has any old accounts with services that support MFA, enable MFA. You can get locked out with no way of getting back in.

Here is a similar issue where you could get locked out of Apple accounts if you didn't have MFA: https://www.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/bl7cis/how_to_fi...

You could modify the source material (change a name or character relationship) and see if it correctly reports the modification in the graph.

poglet··on Raspberry Pi 5
So if you need 3.5mm output you need to buy some accessory? That's disappointing - reminds me of what happened with phones.

poglet··on How The iPhone 15 Pro camera works and why you’ll want to shoot 24MP photos
So the 48mp sensor runs in cropped 12mp while doing some type of exposure bracketing before the user takes a photo, then when the photo is taken the sensor is cropped to 24mp. At that point post-processing combines all images together?

And shooting at 48mp HEIF does not do this.

poglet··on OpenRA – Classic strategy games rebuilt for the modern era
Did it play well on modern computers? What version did you use? I'm tempted to do the same.
