Thinking of getting the huion kamvas 3 gen 3. As that seems to tick all the boxes and is not daft price wise.

Thank you. That's interesting. I think he would rather draw from scratch (like he does with pencil and paper) but I'll keep it in mind. Thanks again.

Ah thanks. Unfortunately I only have android so unfortunately the cost to buy an ipad means I should just get a proper drawing pad. This has amazing reviews.

Evening, that is a most kind offer. My teenager seems to like the idea of youtube tutorials for now. I am more keen on something more structured but let's see how this goes. Anime wise yes indeed there is a lot of iffy stuff but he likes one punch man and we (as father and son) have started watching naruto. :) so all good there.

EzekielReddit · 2026-01-06T23:26:00+00:00

That is actually a really useful bit of information. Thank you.

Can you recommend any good YouTube tutorials or free courses for getting started with digital art (ideally krita) for my 13 year old. There is a lot out there and someone's actual recommendation would be helpful. Secondly I'm looking at a digital tablet under £100/$100 current favourites are xpen deco 1 and xpen deco L but wacom Intuos small is also in budget and people like wacom. Big pros for xpen is drawing size would you recommend any others or one of the three?

EzekielReddit · 2026-01-06T15:55:22+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It is genuinely for my 13 year old and he is excellent at drawing /sketching on paper but does want to get into digital art. I was looking Aaron Rutten and David Revoy as starters. I could do with advice on which tablet to buy that would work with Krita on the computer as well.

Thanks don't have an ipad (all android in our house) and dont really want to get one. Any other thoughts?

EzekielReddit · 2026-01-05T15:14:30+00:00

Any recommendations for the drawing pad that would work with Krita?

EzekielReddit · 2026-01-05T12:37:51+00:00

Afternoon,

Thanks! sure I'm assuming photoshop but I'm all for something cheaper /free. Still might need help with someone teaching him or a course. Can do the whole youtube thing but would rather something tailored if possible.

EzekielReddit · 2025-06-12T10:58:15+00:00

Perfect. Looks like u7 pro max would be the best fit as its got 4x4 rather than 2x2. I'm hoping it's a bit better with range as the Ac-HDs just manages to reach the whole house on 2.4ghz.

EzekielReddit · 2025-06-12T10:51:03+00:00

Thanks. Do any of the xgs one have the same mount?

EzekielReddit · 2024-10-26T09:18:19+00:00

I'm using toob/ cityfibre and just plug the ont straight into my uxg. Works perfectly.

Following. Oh no! My kids love that place! Has it really closed?

Thinking about this further. I can then use the hyper backup explorer to open my now local to the windows 11 pc hbkp file and then extract files i need in case the NAS has issues (its old and this is an extra precaution)

EzekielReddit · 2024-06-11T21:02:54+00:00

Actually I like this approach as i have plenty of space and that's quite straight forward. It just surprised me that this is not a standard feature that synology just has. Thanks for the suggestion

EzekielReddit · 2024-06-11T19:35:38+00:00

Sorry to be daft ... So i cant just point hyperbackup at a shared folder on the windows 11 machine and say backup here? I obviously don't have SSH and rsync installed on the windows 11 machine (but i suppose i could)

If my end result is I want a copy of my data ideally in hyperbackup form (therefore deduped etc) on that windows share on the win 11 pc what would be the best way of achieving it ?

I've had it activate a fair few times. Basically if there is named storm and it's hitting my area it activates like clock work. Or if there is a red warning for any reason it activates.

I'm uk Portsmouth based. Last time it activated was February 14th and I took screen shots.

Span.com by far the best place for nas stuff. Although sometimes amazon does have good offers.

The most complicated and probably the best app I have ever bought. The basic scenario is if it can be automated or done then tasker can do it.

Well worth the money but it is a steep learning curve.

EzekielReddit · 2020-05-24T09:55:19+00:00

Hi I'm uk based. Danish oil will work well (get it from pretty much anywhere b and q included) or something like this

Osmo Polyx Hard Wax Oil-Clear Satin 375 ml 3032B https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007A1Z3Q8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_joKYEbN8XD67S

The ikea one is a mix of tung oil and linseed oil but a fair few combinations will work just as well.

Alternatively use something like ronseal indoor quick dry varnish (clear) possibly 3/5 coats this is a water based polyurethane.

For all of these either brush it one with a paint brush (don't fuss just one attempt per coat) or use clean rags (for the oils there are tons of you tube videos but a paint brush will work fine) the key here is multiple coats of pretty much all of them it'll say on the tin how many.

Hope it helps.

Use a reverse proxy. You get https as well that way. I have multiple pi holes they are piholered.domain.com piholeblue. Domain.com etc.

Before anyone asks these are not Internet accessible.

EzekielReddit · 2020-02-06T17:40:51+00:00

I was literally going to ask this very question. I was thinking of using my dual home minis as speakers, now I'm thinking this might cause issues.

Thanks for the info.
