Customizing the look of Peertube

PeerTube is a really nice self-hostable YouTube alternative that Jim has been using for a bit and introduced me to. I wanted to spin up my own install at video.jadin.me and theme it a bit to fit in with this blog site.
The first thing I did was install the dark theme, which I thought would more closely match my blog site as a starting point. You can do this from Administration > Plugins/Themes.

Installing Foundry on Reclaim Cloud

I’ve had this post sitting incomplete in my drafts for a long time!
Foundry Virtual Tabletop is an excellent, self-hostable virtual tabletop tool. You use it to play tabletop RPGs with other folks over the internet, (check the link above out if you are curious). It is a paid, NodeJS application that you can run on your own computer or on a server.
This won’t be a comprehensive tutorial on foundry itself after install, but I want to cover the basics and the Reclaim Cloud specific things that you will need if you don’t want to have to worry about manually starting the foundry application every time you restart a container (foundry’s own install guide doesn’t really cover this).

Adding a warning when trying to close an unsubmitted form in Gravity Forms

Blogging this before I forget it!
I needed to add a warning to a form in Gravity Forms in case someone started filling out a form but forgot to click the submit button before closing the page. I’ve seen plenty of pages do this before, and figured there might be away to easily do something like this in Gravity Forms.
There isn’t a built-in feature in Gravity Forms for this, but it turns out that using jQuery you can easily check if someone has clicked on any of the form inputs, and if they try to close the page throw up a warning.

Removing “Where From” File Properties on Mac

This post is a bit random, but the other day I learned how to update the uneditable file properties on a Mac and wanted to share here so I would remember for later. (This is truly the main reason I blog, haha!) I noticed that when I downloaded a file …
