me three

Good stuff to know. Thx!

Interesting! Well I currently have a 1070ti, which the internet tells me will mostly outperform a 3050. Thanks for your dev perspective.

As a relative Linux noob and Nvidia card owner, I keep hearing how it’ll be so much easier if I go AMD. Is that not true?

I use Arch on my main machine, but I just got a new (old!) laptop that I’m going to set up probably with Debian. Someone mentioned I might try Devuan… and learn about all the init stuff… but I’m thinking I’ll keep it simpler for this one and go straight Debian first.

I keep hearing about this thing. Does it really do all the photoshop things? adjustment layers, masks, dodge+burn, all that stuff? and I guess, does it do it well, with big files?

Yeah, that. Opaque means no transparency. Easier to read/work, or see a picture/video without background stuff mixing in with it. But for my non-focused windows, I’m not actively working on those, so rice it up, transparency all the way! (but still add blur to those, just so I can read them if I need to…)

I have my focused window opaque, the rest transparent+blur.

got any… grapes?

haha! awesome! I’m in the Nikon world, but I haven’t tried my builtin timelapse either. I do have a cable release thing that will supposedly take care of all that for me but alas I haven’t tried that yet either. You’ve inspired me though… would be a fun little project.

I dunno, I like it! Very cool. I suppose you gotta keep the camera in manual so it doesn’t go all auto on you.

This is cool… How much time between photos?

Ah, dang, I haven’t run into this yet. But I see what you mean. I actually just set this up in Linux, but back in Windows I didn’t run into this problem (maybe I was lucky enough to hit the same port, or maybe I didn’t have it set up entirely correctly, lol).

Yes, this is what I do, with Private Internet Access (VPN). You can bind qbittorrent to PIA’s interface, and also to its forwarding port.

I’m a very recent linux convert, coming from windows where I was using Vivaldi and I quite like it. But… are there reasons to switch to something else?

Ah, good catch about the green tops. They might be on their way into the oven/air-fryer or something :)

I agree with what others said about too much shiny stuff (I’d use raw carrots), and using more diffuse light. Definitely a cool composition though.

But, more importantly, I really appreciate this post because you ask “what should I change” and it created some interesting conversation!

Yes, exactly. If you live in a solid blue or red state, your vote is a drop in the bucket, so it won’t matter if you vote third party. But in swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania… in 2016, the number of votes won by Jill Stein was slightly greater than the difference between Trump/Clinton. Ouch! Was it worth it? Did it move the country left?

a good dropperful of liquid vitamin D is good for me once a week. make sure it’s enough – the typical recommended daily values (at least in the US) are pretty low.

lol! I jokingly thought of that song when I clicked in here. Definitely the most catchy thing around rn.
