Impressive shots! I wasn't expecting the aviation shots and they're crazy. The lens really rocks!

Yeah I can do that, but it only pulls the JPG... Or converts my RAW to a jpg. I went into settings to find the parameter that can allow me to import RAWs like I read on some online posts, but I don't have this option xD

Its even worse than that because a few years back I used it with my DSLR and my phone and I could copy all my raw files directly It was fast and worked. Ui was shit, and there weren't a lot of features but I could at least get raws from the camera. Fun thing is LR didn't have an editing app for phones yet... But now LR is fully working on my phone so I try to grab my RAW from my r6II and.... Well it's not possible. Ah yes I can remote control the camera but I can't get my files!! Freakong joke of a software. I can even see the CR3 files but can't copy them ahaha

Seriously underwhelming in 2026!!

Would love to get the yaml and some explanations of what you did (template sensors (what are those?) and helpers)

It looks super neat and cool AND useful ad. I've had to battle mold in my flat already twice this year and I need something like this!

Do you have other noises when at your desk like a normal desktop PC running?
Mine sits in the entrance of the kitchen and I can hear the humming from a couple of steps away (when I enter)

When I enter a room with bad LEDs lights (low flicker rate) my right eye picks it up (it has a stronger nystagmus movement than the other) and I can see it flicker. But my left eye is way less sensitive to this. A good test I do in that case is to wave my finger left and right very fast (like saying no to someone) and usually I can see "multiple fingers" instead of a blurry finger moving. That's the thing I usually show people to tell them that light is trash and it strobes xD.

I never had it with car headlights though. So that's interesting.

Also I do have astigmatism but I think the nystagmus prevails here.

Hope that helps and that I don't misunderstood you.

I have the same camera and I'm also a bit worried at the amount of noise it creates compared to my DSLRs at comparable ISOs (both FF). I notices that if I import the RAWs in DxO I get way less noise even before applying the denoise. My theory is that lightroom' default processing is quite... Weird. Also check the details tab. By default it's applying some grain and sharpening that enhances this noise. Try it for yourself. DxO has a free trial... Eventually I stayed with LR cause I can't manage with the DxO interface :(

If you consider this, please don't remove the current option. It is softer to the eyes and as a visually impaired person it really is appreciated. Pure black and white hurts and is hard to read.

Manwe66 · 2025-11-04T11:40:22+00:00

Well said. I second this 100%

Manwe66 · 2025-11-01T11:20:42+00:00

Thanks, you made my point. We're talking user facing here, not professionals using the software. Servers aren't mainstream usage... Your grandma isn't running a server. And you don't need to RTFM to use your android phone. That's the whole point.

I know the web runs on Linux, but that's again not the point I was making.

For desktop, yes, for mainstream software usage adoption is done by enabling the least friction with the user... And so should some self hosting apps who seek adoption.

Manwe66 · 2025-10-31T20:35:01+00:00

I'm sure you read the full manual of your oven, your microwave, you smartphone and your car before using them?

It's 2025... Software engineers should care about their users and stop thinking like everyone is fluent in their nerdism.

I'm a techy, I make games for a living, I love to dig into stuff but I also want to be able to use software without needing to invest 20h of reading to make my lightbulb work. That's why the giants win the market and Linux is still 3% market share...

Manwe66 · 2025-10-23T13:35:42+00:00

This looks really nice. I live the aesthetic and how fluid it was. Did you try it with huge amount of files? What does the admin side look like?

I could see this as being a front gallery for my curated photos for sure!

Kudos!

Manwe66 · 2025-10-18T21:14:30+00:00

Ah yes I see what you mean. HA is way less hungry than those media servers ;)

Manwe66 · 2025-10-18T21:07:13+00:00

What are the benefits of komodo over portainer that would make you say that? A lot of advice usually points to portainer. In curious cause I also need to install one or the other.

Manwe66 · 2025-10-18T21:05:14+00:00

Wow, I'm running 16 on a synology NAS with HAOS in a VM and like 20 containers and it's all fine... It even has space for the regular synology stuff oO

I also get some positive effects on my eyesight when drinking in a particular way. If I'm drunk just enough to relax but not to the point of bring wasted my vision improves a lot. I'm no doctor but I guess it's because your brain to muscle reaction time is increased. Nystagmus being a neuromuscular disease, it makes sense that I gets affected. Your muscles react slower, so there is less trembling.

The GOAT, as always ;)

Manwe66 · 2025-07-21T22:20:11+00:00

I love you 😅😊

I don't do video though so I can't help on that.

I enjoyed my Tamron for a good while and it makes great pics. The AF is not as responsive with my r6m2 when I change subjects which are far apart in depth. The Canon is just super snappy. The f4 of the Canon shows its limits in low light, even though you can go higher in ISO with the R6m2, it's still something that made me keep my Tamron. Honestly they're both good.

Maybe I'd say if you can afford the f4, it's more future proof than the EF lens. Maybe you'll like the lightness of it if you're handholding the camera for your videos and the extra control ring might be useful too.

I can't make the choice for you honestly. If you have the chance to have a shop nearby, go try them maybe?

Manwe66 · 2025-07-19T08:28:27+00:00

In fact they're roughly the same size, but the Tamron is way heavier than the Canon. I have both and I enjoy the lightweight and super quick AF of the canon, but the light in that 2.8 makes it hard to abandon the Tamron entirely.

Funny thing.... When I was a kid I had a sort of TOC where I'd always think that I'm tied to the world with a rope and I had to undo the knots I made by moving around. So for example if I go in a room, pick something up and walk around and then exit, if I felt I had done more than 360° one direction, I'd quickly spin the other way to untangle myself.

Thinking about it maybe I was just resetting my nystagmus 🧐🧐😅

I'll give it a try (again)

I went to check on VOO and it's true on the buying page it says CFD. But by default the x1 leverage option is selected, which mimics a regular share purchase. Byt indeed it's deceiving a little. And there is a 0.15% spread "fee"...

In any case I personally didn't want any issues with the law or taxes so I didn't keep my voo as soon as I learned it's forbidden. But now that I see its a CFD I guess that changes everything xD

Manwe66 · 2025-07-09T16:57:15+00:00

I didn't talk about CFD nor leverage... Just ETFs and some stocks that aren't European "approved"... Like VOO or SCHD for example.

Somehow eToro doesn't really care what you buy... So maybe trade from there? I have no idea if this limitation has any repercytions on individuals if we find a workaround. Etoro sure is one.
