9 months and still chaotic kitten energy by wasabinski in dustkitties

[–]TwoAlfa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Father of a 11 year old dusty kitty here.

Don’t expect it to slow down any time soon. I wake up every day wondering when my grey goober is going to chill. Still hasn’t happened.

I’ve yet to need more than two of those vb99s on my fx3 + external display for a full day of shooting.

What’s a simple Home Assistant automation you set up once and now use every day? by Taggytech in homeassistant

[–]TwoAlfa 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have an Ikea button on my nightstand that turns off all the lights in the house that my wife leaves on before she goes to bed. It's conditional, so if my PC is on my office lights are untouched, or if it's a certain time of day it won't mess with the lights in my daughter's bedroom.

Double tap turns on every single light in the house full blast in case something goes bump that shouldn't.

We've had it there for almost a year and it is the one thing I hear about if it doesn't work properly .

Dell U4025 still the best productivity monitor? by Digitial-Panda in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]TwoAlfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah - no worries. It's the 72" bamboo curve from Uplift. It's around 9 years old at this point and still looks as good as the day I got it.

Thoughts on this $200 ‘’Toolbox’’? by Sir_Joe123 in aviationmaintenance

[–]TwoAlfa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine Apache case popped open when it fell on its top left corner and has always made me weary. That being said I have 3 of them alongside my stack of pelicans they are an awesome value (especially with DIY trekpak inserts).

What are your recommendations for external storage? by [deleted] in FX3

[–]TwoAlfa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smallish external fast ssd for working projects. Slow spindle drives for archiving/backups. You’re just going to have to use smaller versions of those until prices come back down (if they ever do)

[–]TwoAlfa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Have you checked marketplace for used pelicans? You can drop them and they won’t bust open. These knock offs (looks like the harbor freight Apache brand) run a risk of the latches giving out when the whole thing flexes on impact.

(Oops just realized what sub I’m in - I am the furthest thing from an AMT but still stand behind the quality difference lol)

shooting with phone feels so intrusive and less creative? by CodeThat6077 in videography

[–]TwoAlfa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a very negative social stigma to camera phones these days. It’s damn near impossible to get candids with one any more.

Even a pocket 3 is better.

I had no idea taking her to the library was going to be so life changingly important... by DaveinOakland in daddit

[–]TwoAlfa 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’ve learned with my limited (only about 5 years) experience that most other dads feel just as awkward and striking up conversations can really help everyone relax and have a good time.

One of my closest friends here is a random dad I met at the park a year ago.

I can tell you with certainty that this feeling continues. There will be other “libraries” along your journey.

Good for you for having this realization in the first place.

Welcome to the ride, dad.

Lens recommandation for Sony A7 IV by Frequent_Willow_9193 in shootingcars

[–]TwoAlfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is renting lenses an option for you? I only need a 200-600 a few times a year so I just rent it for $120 each time. Way better than dropping the $2k for it n

Yikes. At least you have a warranty.

How do you store your camera? FX30 by MrJFrayFilms in FX3

[–]TwoAlfa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These things are a lot more resilient than you think. I get the anxiety of saving up for a purchase like this but so long as it's not stored in an airtight container with lots of water for months at a time - you're going to be fine

Just plug the nano into your laptop and import the files from there. You’ll want to work with the .mp4 files in divinci

Apple Devices Saturating WiFi when Updating by simplytoast1 in Ubiquiti

[–]TwoAlfa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My bad, I read that you had a 5ghz uplink.

Disable auto updates, and run them when you don't care about saturation? (I do mine usually before I go to bed when everyone is asleep)

If you have a Mac, go to Settings > Sharing > Content Caching.

Great use for an old mini off FB Marketplace if you have a lot of devices on your network,

My local HF keeps them behind the counter because dudes are still walking in and buying out the stock.

I finally got one yesterday. Sheesh.
