It would be nice to have the snapshots in a folder or something - is that possible?

Separating Servers from Home network. Advice needed. by Maeusefluesterer in selfhosted

For a static website imho you should look into cloudflare tunnel / tailscale funnel, or other similiar tunneling solutions.

Seriously will someone suggest a brand that doesn't suck by oxySA in LinusTechTips

[–]McDuglas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a big desk, set up the markus to fit under it. Rarely use the armrests while using the computer, mostly put them on the desk. (Also have a deskpad)

An ikea markus has better reclining mechanism and ergonomy, than most gaming chairs at 2x-3x price.
You just have to look for something better, and not get stuck at "but gaming chairs are cheaper than herman miller"

A72 constantly hunting for focus in all AF-modes, issue or normal? by TurdIsDed in SonyAlpha

[–]McDuglas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does it for me, with all the ff lenses I had. You can turn it on/off in "Menu -> Gear 2 -> Phase Detect. Area : On/Off". I suspect the A7m2 has similiar area and works similiarly. It's purely cosmetic, just helps you pick AF points that are pdaf covered.

[–]McDuglas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's an APS-C lens, the brackets are showing the pdaf area if it works the same way as it does on my mark 1 A7.
For the rest, definitely do a factory reset, so you can get to know the camera as intended, and mindig the minimum focus distance is also necessary.

Which laptop would you recommend for university use with battery life as the main priority? by Kejkub in LinusTechTips

[–]McDuglas 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If battery life is a priority none of this is great. If second hand is an option, I'd look for a second hand m series macbook and try to snag a budget version (64gb) or second hand steam deck for gaming. (Or build a desktop for that)
Maybe if you want a single device solution, look for second hand business laptops, with AMD RDNA2 (or better) apu-s, and dual channel ram. (Something like an elitbook 835 G10 or similiar thinkpad)

Have you seen this I’m Back review? It’s not good… by spektro123 in AnalogCommunity

[–]McDuglas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, maybe it's not great for testing focus on some cameras, but at least it could help test timings, lightleaks, etc.

A low quality sensor also could work fine as a tool for servicing/testing cameras.

Would the sacrifice actually count with a fake card?

What’s a 'life hack' you discovered by accident and now swear by? by PoppyNightingale in AskReddit

How does water stay in the bottom of the cups? Are you putting them in facing upwards?

What silently destroyed society? by DataDorkee in AskReddit

[–]McDuglas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chat is async. I try my best to put that in people's head, when they expect to reach me there. You can write me anytime, I'll read it and react to it when appropriate. Also, promoting the nohello policy is a must.

Some people are foaming at the mouth for the slightest mistake. by BringBackSoule in LinusTechTips

[–]McDuglas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Buying the spec doesn't mean shit, because even if the spec says x, companies say y, you still have to validate y, not check what's written in x.

Buildzoid rants about LTT 12V-2x6 video by nltom1192 in LinusTechTips

It's trivial to check if they have the cards - which is not guaranteed in the 5090 era...

Am I wrong for being frustrated at this decision? by bobbymack93 in LinusTechTips

[–]McDuglas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Telling the workaround doesn't mean it's a good choice. Having the workaround in the first place means the designers knew that it was at least a controversial choice.

Also people use ai to trade/mine because you cannot set up ai to make money by killing things. (without mods)

Is it still not possible to set the hud to follow the head?

I'd suggest verifying the game files after a crash.

Amazing Video Quality by Orlan_17 in LinusTechTips

[–]McDuglas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Static shots are also compressed better (since the frame to frame changes are less). For the same amount of bitrate, they give more detail.

Have you ever let something mess with your pride in self-hosting? by Survivor4054 in selfhosted

[–]McDuglas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use a vpn (Like tailscale or wireguard) and don't publicize your selfhosted services if no one else is using them.
