The back fell off. Some of them are made so the back doesn't fall off at all.

@Lana @briankrebs It’s just the _ Superleggera_ model. We’re a branding tweak away from a limited edition. Do what the Italian brands would do: Remove stuff, and charge more 🤣

I don’t know why it took me this long to try it out, but WOW: I am so impressed with .

Much easier to setup than expected, and it’s a lot smarter and faster handling the sync than I was expecting too.

Now to figure out if I also want to host my own Discovery server…

To any shooters: What does your workflow look like these days?

I stopped shooting film 8 years ago, mostly due to workflow problems. Finding the time to do high-res scans and deal with the physical film just took away all the joy. I spent more time on admin than shooting!

Are you digitally archiving your film? Do you select the low-res scans from the film developer? Develop your own film? Do you keep the film once digitized? Do you archive it?

All input welcome!

I started the process this week of reworking my playbooks to work on Debian 12.

I’ve been really happy in the Red Hat and ecosystem for a long time but it feels to me like, as a home-labber, I’m not welcome in that world any more.

So far, it’s been really smooth. A lot of the little workarounds I’ve need to do on my systems aren’t required and it’s taking me just a few minutes in each playbook to make some obvious changes, like swapping dnf for apt.

Full rebuild soon!

In lighter news, continues to bring me great photo options. Taken from my seat on the . Trains are great, and I am looking forward to more people taking a chance on rail travel here in the US.

@jerzone No two ways about it now, spring is here. So much in bloom and it’s great to see all the leaves starting to pop out on the trees. Bring me some shade!

A bit of fun news today, I ordered a new camera last night. It's an old model, a Nikon D7500, but it is brand new, and I feel like I got a pretty good deal on it.

My first DSLR was a D50. I now carry two D3100 SLRs with me when I'm out shooting. This new camera will be the first one I've owned that wasn't near the bottom of Nikon's more economical line of SLRs.

I will probably never own the latest, greatest thing, so I get excited when I can splurge a little.

Topslakr,
@Topslakr@fosstodon.org avatar

@richard_merren @deadtom Yes! Getting a camera that still has the AF motor in it is a great way to maximize the lenses you can choose from in the Nikon F Mount. So many great deals out there on the ‘older’ AF-D lenses.

I can’t believe how inexpensive the Digidesign or AVID PRE units can be scooped up these days. 8 channels of great, clean, gain recallable and controlable from within Pro Tools for … ~$250? Yes, please!

I have a ‘blue face’ one already, and a ‘gray face’ one heading my way. I suspect they are litterally identical, but I’ll be cracking them open to compare.

@jimsalter I assume you already know this, but the PracticalZFS site is not working. I'm getting "Peer’s Certificate issuer is not recognized." on my end.

I don't think the issue is on my end, but happy to be educated 😀 It started happening for me yesterday and, since you have a day job, I figure you'll get it fixed when you can...

But, just in case you didn't know...

Topslakr,
@Topslakr@fosstodon.org avatar

@jimsalter I’ve changed nothing here, but the site is loading fine again for me.

Long may it continue!

@tripplehelix Ha! Clearly… 🫠

I was on the web interface, on the person's page and ... well ... missed a step. Thanks!

@jimsalter Without hesitation!

@jimsalter @tripplehelix Interesting. My bookmarks points to the full URL with discourse in the name, but I still get the error. This is the bookmakr I’ve been using since the site went live. No matter what permutation of the URL I use though, I still get the error.

@Topslakr@fosstodon.org avatar

@jimsalter I must just be shadow banned 🫠

Even in a totally new browser, from a system 100% unique from my own, using the link you posted I can't get there. It fails on Firefox here on my local PC, and this is from Edge, on a Windows RD Server several states away. Differnet network. Different internet. Differnet aritecture.

I get it. Nobody likes me, everybody hates me .. I'm going to go eat worms 😁

Topslakr,
@Topslakr@fosstodon.org avatar

@tripplehelix @jimsalter Interesting idea. But, yes. Time looks good all over.

I mean.. it’s not yet quiting time on Friday.. but it’s in sync.

Topslakr,
@Topslakr@fosstodon.org avatar

@jimsalter I’m sure Microsoft is going to get right on that, on Friday … at 5PM :)

Sorry to hear traffic has dropped off, but glad I’m not alone. I can’t get in on Firefox, Edge, Safari, Chrome, Windows, macOS, Linux (Debian) … no matter what I try and I need my ZFS chat fix!

And, it looks like Cisco Umbrella/OpenDNS has it flagged to, claiming it’s a phishing site.

Thanks for looking into it!

Sure, I was stuck at work helping someone on my team with a network refresh gone wrong until after 1AM, but I was able to use some of the time get more than a dozen job applications submitted.

Maybe some good will come out of it…

Interfacing with AI hiring is so incredibly dehumanizing.
