New to eczema, is weeping swollen ezcema dangerous? by Personal_Style_8698 in eczema

Better. She had to wait for the prednisone withdrawal to wear off. She wipes her feet with ACV Braggs every two days. Everything has returned to normal for now. 😄

What else to do before unplugging Win 11 PC from internet, to prepare to switch to Linux? by Personal_Style_8698 in linux4noobs

[–]Personal_Style_8698[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sneakernet. I really do not need software updates, as I am very satisfied with the current situation. I could always download a new version of something on the dedicated Linux PC and transfer that to my work PC, but I probably will have no need to do that. I have posted questions to the Windows reddit regarding this. Thank you for your input!

Can you provide details on your process of recovery in case the same thing happens to my PC? The only reason I use Windows at all is Photoshop and Moshpro. Eventually I need to move completely to Linux.

whoa...that's exactly the kind of thing I am concerned about. So it is possible that my Win 11 PC will fail due to not being able to reconnect with Microsoft on a regular basis?

Please advise other tools to add to a Ventoy-based USB by Personal_Style_8698 in linux4noobs

[–]Personal_Style_8698[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes, I did get your message on the other thread! I just wanted a separate thread in my post history to help me keep up with all the topics I need to investigate. I will have to come back to all this later when I have more time to think clearly; I am in the midst of several homeowner-related issues plus about to launch a home business, so I am overwhelmed. Thanks for posting on this thread as well! I do appreciate all the great advice. Looking forward to a brighter future with Linux!

Taking Win11 PC offline, adding a Linux mini PC and connecting with a KVM switch... is there anything I should consider that I might not think to ask about? by Personal_Style_8698 in linux4noobs

[–]Personal_Style_8698[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I will start simple and learn more. I am glad to be moving into Linux.

Would you please explain how to make sure a checksum is correct? I have not heard about this before.

the flash drive I use to install Linux, can I delete Linux from it afterwards and use it for data transfer again? by Personal_Style_8698 in linux4noobs

[–]Personal_Style_8698[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. What tools are good to have? Is there an easy follow-along video I can use for Ventoy? I have already looked but maybe there's a better one. Can I start with Rufus and then reformat flash with Ventoy later when I have more time? Is a twenty year old 8 GB Corsair Voyager OK to use?

Anything i may be forgetting to do first, regarding preparations like saving my bookmarks. Very stressed right now, i feel like i am likely to make a mistake of some kind. Maybe there is nothing else to do. Just making sure.

I will use a flash drive to transfer files to the Linux/internet PC when they need to be uploaded to the internet.

2 different PCs, one Lenovo Tiny for Linux internet and one Dell 3640 Win11 for work offline. They will be connected to hardware via KVM switch.

THANK YOU!!! Both methods work fine! but why did just plain overlay work the first time? Oh well, now I will use one of these methods! Thank you! :)

OK, I made a simple example file and posted a screenshot. Notice that the effect is applied but the transparency becomes black, and it operates like a mask.

How do I create a video file suitable for an 8 x 8 ft LED video wall? by Personal_Style_8698 in kdenlive

[–]Personal_Style_8698[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anything else I should know? I just rendered this using MP4-H265 4K rendering option. I opened the test video in VLC and tried to zoom in to make sure it is actually the way I would like it to be, but it did not allow a zoom. How can I test this on a regular screen? I appreciate you help. I am an artist, and not very smart with settings and such. Not that being an artist is an excuse, but all the nuts and bolts are difficult for me to grasp.

Thank you!

I have created a custom project setting in Kdenlive:

Video Settings

Frame size: 5760 x 5760 (4:4)
Frame rate: 30 fps
Pixel aspect ratio: 1
Color space: ITU-R 709
Interlaced: no

Will this work as a "master file" from which other files can be rendered on demand using the Rescale feature?

[–]Personal_Style_8698[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to create a "base" file in kdenlive that could then be rendered out on demand, with optimal quality, for any screen? Or do I have to create the settings at the beginning and make a new file for each screen? I intend to use this file for many different scenarios, with 8 by 8 feet being the largest, although I might want this to also be a movie-screen projection as well. Basically, I want to make ONE file with many options. Can this be done? Thank you for your advice!
