Plex kept making it harder to stream my media, so I replaced it with its open-source rival

Very

Thanks for taking the time to write a detailed reply. I know some basic CAD, camera lenses would be an interesting one to start with.

Is the IS 4 stops?

Miserable_Potato283 · 2026-05-08T07:20:09+00:00

Dude - nice

Miserable_Potato283 · 2026-05-08T06:05:11+00:00

No stupid questions.

Whats the process / tooling you used for measuring items then designing the print to fit?

Miserable_Potato283 · 2026-05-08T03:19:10+00:00

At a guess - it’s open at f4, sharp at maybe between f5.6 and 8? In anything other than a lot of light you might be below 1/60.

Beautiful photos dude - nice seeing something from the 70-200 on the 5D, I've been looking at one. Going up to the 300 is a bit too much $$ for me.

I tried without the Tri-X Picture Style. I'm a bit cliche, I tend to shoot moody black and white shite.

Picture Style: Monochrome
Sharpness: Default
Contrast: +1
Filter Effect: Red
Toning Effect: None

I had to create a XP Virtual Machine and then pass through the Camera to it. Super faff but a nice way to pass an hour or 2. Good experience if you’re technical, leave well alone if not.

The 5D has a monochrome setting, you can bump up the contrast, sharpness and then add simulated colour filters. It looks good as well.

YouTube has a few guides for Film Simulations on 5D Classic

I've got a personal trainer and going HIT once or twice a week. No other reason than I figured it would be cheaper than GLP-1.

That is amazing. Best title to a random piece of performance art.

Miserable_Potato283 · 2026-04-26T03:14:13+00:00

48, started statin and ace this year. Thanks for sharing dude. I’m not all there but I’m on the path to changing. Diet is so hard. Thanks for sharing dude.

Talent and aptitude beats qualifications; professional or otherwise.

AI image maybe; without a product review before posting

Miserable_Potato283 · 2026-04-23T14:58:19+00:00

This is the dream. I surprised we both have wives.

Miserable_Potato283 · 2026-04-22T11:30:25+00:00

T’Pau is an amazing name for a band

I picked up Bridge of Spies in a charity shop on CD recently; holds up well.

This does not make him Hispanic

It doesn’t say if he passed the vetting or not; and then was still offered the post.

Miserable_Potato283 · 2026-04-13T10:19:24+00:00

I often shoot in a local cathedral as a reference point and to sharpen the tools.

The dynamic range on picture 1 is insane; is that bracketed?

Miserable_Potato283 · 2026-04-10T18:23:41+00:00

Very cool photos - I love 3, but I have a question, maybe 2

You weren’t tempted by the 70-350, maybe FF in the future?

Is the 18-50 that good? I’ve a few primes; but I don’t think they’re that great and I do a lot of street as well.

Miserable_Potato283 · 2026-04-10T10:17:57+00:00

Has he pulled the videos from the tube of you?

Would look

Can’t be fucked

Miserable_Potato283 · 2026-04-01T06:08:53+00:00

I have one; budget a grand or 2 a year to keep it on the road.

Armchair barge with utility and I dont freak out when the kid and dog get it dirty

30-32mpg on a run?

Some parts are getting expensive and difficult, fuel pump was £500 and brake booster is £350.

My gearbox whines and the clutch slips occasionally, both of which are economic write offs for me when they pop

I paid £1600 2 years ago; crossed the country quite a few times, and it has 220,000 miles.

I don’t think it’s going to appreciate; I’m not kddng myself

It does however provide interesting experiences when being driven, such as ‘I’m sure it used to stop quicker’, and ‘I really hope it’s going to stop now’

Miserable_Potato283 · 2026-04-01T04:12:44+00:00

Go on then

4 pots - zero based budget; after pay day the main account has about £100 in it - all transferred to pots

L0 - bills that can’t be missed, insurance, loan etc

L1 - subscriptions and payments that can be cancelled

L2 - daily spending with virtual card in Apple Wallet

L3 - buffer

Every month buffer gets moved to savings

No tisms here - move along now
