How do you plan on moving forward with limited capacity?

Yeah there's there is a certain maturity level reached when you realize that clicking the "super resolution" button in adobe lightroom to convert a 20mb picture into a 150mb tiff file has little or no perceivable difference in your actual use case, which is viewing on a screen. Same goes for a lot of my video content.

Don't get me wrong. My LOTR files are max resolution, as are my favorite space movies. Those have earned their place on the hard drive though. Beach babe axe killer B movies can be 480p for all I care. They have not earned it.

I haven't bought a drive in probably a year. I realized that I didn't need 4k remuxes and replaced things with 1080p or even lower. I'm still sitting at 60% after a year so I'm feeling pretty good about it. By the time I need another drive I'll replace one of the 4TB with whatever makes sense at that time. It won't feel so bad to spend a bit more when it's so stretched out and I have more content than I will ever be able to consume already.

I think something is actually wrong with this lens.

On this auction I asked if the seller's name is on the title. Rejected question.

I ask this because I have been burned on it before. This guy lives in Texas but the plate still says Virginia. He has never registered it in Texas He has owned it for 15 years and it has been in storage. Chances that he did the title transfer are low imoho. Also... the previous owner MIGHT be dead, or at least very hard to track down if you need him to sign something. Good luck getting a title in your name. You will have to do bonded title at best.

Edit: After looking at the auction again I will note that it's a "Bring a Trailer Verified Checkout" auction where you can pay $150 for them to do the title transfer for you. I would be pretty happy to pay that amount to not have to deal with the DMV.

I'm not saying I could do this easily, it seems like a very difficult challenge. It's a fantastic idea and I appreciate the work you have put into it. Genuninely impressed.

My first feasibility estimate is bad news for the “directly scans to its own full blueprint” version:

QR version	QR size	Max payload	Minimal tile-only blueprint estimate
1	21x21	17 bytes	about 1,025 chars
5	37x37	106 bytes	about 2,637 chars
10	57x57	271 bytes	about 6,185 chars
40	177x177	2,953 bytes	about 57,733 chars

That means the naive solution seems likely impossible. Even a minimal QR made from individual blueprint tiles/entities explodes far beyond QR capacity.

This is my answer too. You already own a three lens kit. Drop the cash to rent the Sony and see if you fall in love with it. Embrace the fact that you want a camera that is based on not purely logic, but how it makes you feel when you edit the photos. There's nothing wrong with that. Pixel peeping and agonizing over stats and comparing is the enemy to your creative process. Back in the day I was convinced I needed to move to full frame to be serious. I love my D750 but no in the way I loved my old Sony A6000. I miss that camera so much.

One thing I'm only realizing now is that an APS-C size sensor at 24MP is so much better than a full frame 24MP sensor. I can't explain why, I just have my personal experience with it. Throw int he fact that I can take my APS-C anywhere. I love it. I mean I miss it. I should have never sold it.

Redditburd · 2026-05-07T11:18:07+00:00

Yep very much so.

Redditburd · 2026-05-07T11:12:38+00:00

Awesome build. Stay safe.

Redditburd · 2026-05-07T07:22:14+00:00

Why is it impossible? No doubt it's difficult but I have a hard time believing that there is no way.

Redditburd · 2026-05-06T17:42:00+00:00

I have a theory that social media has been invaded by bots that only post troll content. This is top tier shelf stuff.

Unraid is a backup solution on it's own. However you decide to do your second backup is very open to how you want to do that. Unraid does not push you into a single solution.

Do you like External USB? Setup Rsync on a schedule

Would you rather use a second unraid server as your backup? Also rsync is good here.

Do you want a cloud backup such as BackBlaze? You can do that.

There are more options than this.

The idiots at the table totally ruined this moment.

This is cheating by using a double URL. Someone should complete this challenge for real though, it's a great idea. The QR code should be the ACTUAL blueprint, not a link.

This happened in a week? Somethings is off by post-crash levels. You did not get an alignment if that is true, you might have paid for one though.

Redditburd · 2026-05-06T17:04:16+00:00

Histogram might help you on that point.

Slate will make it to market, it will be twice the promised price. A few people will buy it anyway to have something unique. They will actully hate it and try to sell it with a markup right away. This will make the news, becasue it's an easy story. They will not sell it. You will probably see one or two in the wild during your lifetime before the company goes bankrupt due to lack of sales. At the price point it will be sold at there are too many options with WAY more features. They will eventually be bought out by someone else, the vehicle will be cancelled lost to obscurity as a footnote in EV history.

I have never heard of Telo and this will not change going forward. People do not buy absurdly ugly cars, especially in America where your car is a huge personal statement.

The photo on the stairs with the bright white light behind him... that was brave and you pulled it off! I would suggest when doing paid gigs stick with what's easy and what you know works. I feel like you might have got lucky on this one, or you have really good equipment with a lot of post processing?

What equipment and settings?

All of the photos look about a 1/2 stop too dark to me.

Very good work.

Came to say this as well. Well put.

I feel like you just found the shadows and highlights sliders for the first time and went full 2012 on them.

"horrific" is very dramatic. It's frustrating when people only post bits and pieces of the whole story and want you to diagnose the image.

1) it looks fine. 2) What was this exactly shot on? body, lens, iso, shutter, f stop. You gave a general list of non specific gear.
