Archive Archaeology — Max Glenister
I was talking to someone about foobar2000 and how prolific I’d been in the customisation scene back in the day. I knew I’d written up a detailed config somewhere, with screenshots and everything, but the domain was long gone and I hadn’t thought about it in years. On a whim I punched moglenstar.net into the Wayback Machine and there it was, cached HTML from a site I’d let lapse almost two decades ago. That led to more searching. The earliest post on this blog used to be from October 2010. I knew there was older stuff out there, on domains I’d moved away from, but I’d assumed it was just gone. It wasn’t. I ended up recovering 117 posts stretching back to January 2004, along with 348 archived comments, 81 images, and enough CSS nostalgia to make me wince.
Using emoji to bypass FRP on a decade-old tablet — Max Glenister
I recently picked up two Pixel C tablets from a seller on eBay, along with the magnetic keyboard. One tablet had a cracked screen but worked fine and wasn’t locked. The other was cosmetically perfect but the display was completely black. I figured between the two I could end up with at least one working tablet.

Downgrading the OnePlus 7 Pro for LineageOS — Max Glenister
I’ve had a OnePlus 7 Pro sitting in a drawer for a couple of years. I used it from 2019, found it too big, got a Pixel 5a, and now I’m on the Pixel 7a. The usual thing, fiddling with an old gadget that’s been kicking about doing nothing. It’s a nice phone with nice features. Shame it’s stuck on such an old version of Android. Time to get LineageOS on there.
