Question to all the #photo / #Image capture / #Archival crew out there:
Whats the recommended way of getting good digitisations from old photo albums?
I have been given a number of photo albums (some of them quite old) which can't be folded flat in to a scanner (specifically the scanner in a multifunction printer).
I've looked at some "Scanner Pens" and considered hanging the photo album off the side of the scanner while copying - neither of these feels like the right solution.

So now #Google#YouTube is pulling out all the stops to keep #ytdlp from working -__-
"Some tv client https formats have been skipped as they are DRM protected. Your account may have an experiment that applies DRM to all videos on the tv client. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/12563 for more details."
"Some web client https formats have been skipped as they are missing a url. YouTube is forcing SABR streaming for this client. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/12482 for more detail"
Some hero is out there on GitHub working on an SABR implementation and even has a PR ready, but FFS. This is getting to the point where I'd rather just blackhole YouTube entirely and wait for the next big thing, to hell with whatever I might miss out on.

Can anyone reccomend any open source #knowledge management / #archival software suitable for making a public document repository of various electronic documents? (Boosts welcome)
