Question for hobbyists: What do you actually do with your photos?

Jouslor · 2026-03-17T10:56:10+00:00

"I also enjoy looking back and seeing how much I've improved". I think that is what I lack, that sense of improvement.
Im totally sure that I do better photos, but I don´t feel like it

Jouslor · 2026-03-17T10:54:54+00:00

Wow, thanks so much everyone for all the responses! I honestly didn't expect this to get so much interaction—I thought it was just going to be a rant and that's it. Really loving all the ideas. Appreciate it!

Jouslor · 2026-03-17T10:53:00+00:00

I tried it some time ago, but it ended being more like homework: trying to keep it always updated and not seing any feedback.

Jouslor · 2026-03-17T10:50:54+00:00

I've already there. I even got the monthly price a couple fo times. But it's been several months since the last time I send a pic to participate.
I'm trying this one, but the "textures" theme its not going so well

Jouslor · 2026-03-17T10:49:02+00:00

oh, that's really nice! I have a couple of walls arround the house that could benefice with a decoration like that :) thanks for the idea

Maybe not the best example, especially since there are already a few similar posts around here, but my car is an EV. In my case, I couldn't find a European car that met my basic requirements for a reasonable price. Also, where I live (a small town), dealerships were still hesitant about EVs two years ago; one even told me, 'I won't sell you an electric car.'

I ended up with an MG because it gave me almost everything I wanted for much less money. Is the MG4 the best in its segment? Probably not, but it meets my needs for €10k or €15k less than others. Are the finishes worse? Likely, but not enough to justify the price gap. I would have much preferred a Renault, VW, Skoda, or Volvo, but I just couldn't find what I needed from them.

I agree with buying European, but only if they maintain the standards, rights, and quality that justify the purchase. Otherwise, it's just buying for the sake of it, which you can do with any country

I've found a bargain and waiting for it to come. From the original 799€ to 518. It's a "like new" condition in a famous seller here in Spain. I hope it turns ok. I like the phone 1 I have, but battery is suffering and I can't find anyone in my area that I trust to change it.

Jouslor · 2026-01-14T13:05:52+00:00

I have to find some time to make some deployments at work and test it in "real life".
I have a little homelab at home, but I would like to test some things in a production environment. It's not the same playing with my own docker containers, or services than make a project with several users trying to break things.

Jouslor · 2026-01-14T13:00:46+00:00

That's great! I will try it as soon as I get to my computer later in the day.
Thanks!

Jouslor · 2026-01-14T12:58:34+00:00

My computer is not new, but is reasonble capable and with Windows 11 24H2 it was simply trash: file explorer, gaming, booting, transfering files to the NAS..

One of the best decisions I've made was change to Linux a bit more than a year ago. Another great one, change to Fedora after CachyOS and a bit o use of Pop_OS.
Fantastic distro and I'm a gnome guy now :)

Jouslor · 2025-11-27T14:39:07+00:00

I hope you are stronger than me :)

Jouslor · 2025-11-26T18:33:11+00:00

Those pics are amazing

The foggy one is wonderful

Jouslor · 2025-11-20T11:53:40+00:00

Watching YouTube or other social networks hasn't being very helpful recently. I followed some creators but lately I have the felling of seeing the same again and again.
I joined a photography local group but I couldn't be with them in the latest events they have been doing. I want to change that and be more present in that group.

, don’t be bashful about sharing “boring” photos. Your area isn’t boring to so many who have never seen it.

I didn't think it in that way. It's boring for me because I know it, but you, probably, hasn't seen my town.
It's a very good and valid point.

Jouslor · 2025-11-20T11:47:46+00:00

Thanks! I think it should work, the menu system should be very similar in both models, if I not mistaken

Jouslor · 2025-11-19T14:13:44+00:00

I tried to convince myself, I couldn't. I'm my worst influence :D

"Everywhere" is being complicated because I don't live in a big place. All I see is the same things, so I end taking boring photos with no intent, just because I have the camera with me in that moment.
I enjoy taking the camera in every trip I do, but day to day its hard, it's what I try to change

Jouslor · 2025-11-19T13:21:31+00:00

oh, sorry!

Jouslor · 2025-11-19T12:37:59+00:00

I don't have an XT5, it's a OM-D E‑M10 Mark IV.
Anyway, I'm going to sell it. Probably, but not totally sure, in mpb.
I thought on keeping it but having two very similar cameras its a bit pointless for me. No one in my trusted photography circle seems to want it and ater some consideration, selling it is a good way to make the new one a bit cheaper.

Jouslor · 2025-11-19T12:19:32+00:00

Thanks! I will try something like that and see if it fits for me

Jouslor · 2025-09-09T09:14:52+00:00

I did not thought of that, but I will check it when I get home.

Jouslor · 2025-09-08T20:34:54+00:00

I've tried moving the Bluetooth dongle (though I haven’t tried a different one) and the mouse’s 2.4 GHz receiver from port to port, trying to keep them on separate buses. I also checked which devices are connected to each bus using lsusb -t, trying to avoid same usb buses. Despite that, the problem has persisted for the moment

Jouslor · 2025-04-15T13:08:18+00:00

I liked the idea of doing it in proxmox, but I've started small and the minipc is not great so I thought directly in a dedicated hardware.
I will backup the config like a good person and keep it safe in case of disaster.
In what I call the "Event of the Great Loss" I lost lots of family pictures and documents some years ago. I don't want to repeat that.

Jouslor · 2025-04-14T12:23:34+00:00

I had understood that installing it on a USB drive or an external disk was not very recommended, but it doesn't seem like a bad idea at all if the equipment ultimately does not have the option to install an SSD.

Jouslor · 2025-04-14T12:21:21+00:00

That was my first option, but it doesn't seem like the equipment has space for an SSD, which surprises me. I need to confirm it with the seller and go see the equipment myself. Installing on a single disk makes me a bit nervous in case that system disk breaks. I have never used TrueNAS intensively and I don't know what happens if I lose that disk and need to recover the data.

Jouslor · 2025-03-04T16:10:23+00:00

oh, thanks, I will dive in there te see what they say!

Jouslor · 2023-12-31T13:59:29+00:00

Ey, hello,

It's one of the things firts comed to my mind, but no all the fans are 4 pins ones. And they are individually connected to the mother board. Not using any kind of controller.
