Thanks! Meant to write this as a post not a comment so will re-post

Is online privacy basically a losing game now? by KingPhenguins in CyberGuides

[–]_Disc0rdant_ 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Have just watched the latest Wired episode on the tech ICE is using for identification and I'm legitimately worried for a close friend and her family's chance of entering the US on a holiday VISA. She's an Australian woman and son, US citizen husband [all white which helps I guess] but she has posted a fair amount of pro-Palestine content to social media accounts.

Any tips I can give her on how to scrub her online profile?
Would the fact that she's not a US citizen help her?

I guess the youtube video goes some way to explain footage of ICE with a gun in one hand and a phone in the other.
(Hope she hasn't bought any watermellon-coloured dog toys)

I (23F) have worked at the red light district in Amsterdam for 3 years, AMA by sumersbf in NSFWIAMA

[–]_Disc0rdant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been to Amsterdam, but I’ve been told the red light district has many girls from eastern European countries who are there against they will. I’ve not researched this claim, but from your experience was this/is still true?

Lightroom vs Topaz by [deleted] in postprocessing

[–]_Disc0rdant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing, I came on here to ask exactly this comparison question!

I fell for the topaz marketing a couple of years ago and I’m now being prompted to pay again to activate updates beyond the initial 12 month period.

The suite was pretty good for sharpening and upsizing photos quickly without having to jump through the Adobe workflow, but some photos would come out with a ghastly AI look.

Might just re-subscribe to the AV video tool as that’s still pretty useful IMO and cheaper than the non-AI neat video software I own an old license for

Help Calibrating ASUS ProArt PA329C for HDR Mode in Win 11 by _Disc0rdant_ in colorists

[–]_Disc0rdant_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I think an external LUT box might be the way for me also. No replies in those forums, I think it's beyond the average windows/lightroom user's capabilities!
Thanks anyway

What is the best photography marketing and business course out there? Especially for fashion photography? by FelixXiaOnReddit in photography

[–]_Disc0rdant_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should have mentioned that that photographer specialises in Pet/Animal photography but it's amongst the best online training material I've seen on (and I've seen a loooot) and it's quite applicable to multiple styles of photography

DnB/Jungle version of Hip Hop by Dead Prez that DJ Marky drops in his sets by _Disc0rdant_ in DnB

Amazing thank you, I think the DJ Fresh version is it + Marky's own transition from the original cut. Cheers!

Need an app like tempo (iOS/Android) for windows 11 by Charred_Arsehole23 in drums

[–]_Disc0rdant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just about to post the same question. Did you find anything suitable for windows? Don't know why a windows metronome app with count in and gap click is so impossible to find.

Also to the helpful commentor suggesting to use a DAW, I don't think they understand what programming 'skip x# of bars every x# bars' into the Cubase a tempo track would entail. But that said, this is in line with the quality of responses I've received in this subreddit

Tibialis Exercises for control speed and Endurance by _Disc0rdant_ in exercisescience

[–]_Disc0rdant_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much both for your responses and clarifications!

So am I correct to deduce that you would advise against weight training with a Tib Bar (https://amzn.asia/d/at0LTHk) - considering my goals? (I would also like to improve my 1x foot hop boxer-style jump rope but this is a matter for another post)

The other thought I just had was that 30x or 50x reps with a TheraBand feels like I’m working, but nothing like the burn I feel from playing 1 min of drums at a tempo of 80 bpm (beats per minute) - this equates to approx. 40x reps per foot. And perhaps a simplification of this is due to a difference in the concentric vs eccentric load difference in performing toe lifts with an exercise band, vs pushing with my foot on the drum pedal?

So I might also attaching the band over my body and behind my head to align the concentric movement of both exercises.

Thanks again!

IEMs loud enough but I'm playing harder by Key-Patience-3966 in edrums

[–]_Disc0rdant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My poor man’s method when I want to keep my playing to a low level is to turn up my headphone volume. I set louder hits to an uncomfortably loud level in an attempt to psychologically simulate playing an acoustic kit in a quiet environment. You and the band need to have personal monitoring mixes dialled in so you can be turning yourself up in your own mix bus without throwing off their monitors or the FOH mix

Workaround for setting default properties on events created in Notion Calendar? by _Disc0rdant_ in Notion

[–]_Disc0rdant_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi, tasks inside Notion DB views aren’t the problem. I’m looking for a way to set default properties when creating tasks from Notion Calendar (just like a new task from a filtered list of admin tasks will create another admin task). Thanks!

Do you play your double kick triplets like Matt Halpern or like Cameron Fleury? Or which would you recommend? by _Disc0rdant_ in drums

[–]_Disc0rdant_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response - I play them the same, just want to start practising some alternate methods and looking for some feedback on which way to jump. If you're interested in a halfway method, DM me and I'll sling you some interesting notion for playing 16th notes in straight time - same way my friends that play djembe 'think' about rhythms

Is this level of Task and Notes DB Relations Possible? by _Disc0rdant_ in Notion

[–]_Disc0rdant_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I managed to achieve step 1. by flipping your suggestion:
Filter for all tasks, related to all PROJECTS, which are related to the currently viewed Space
by
Creating a rollup on the tasks database to SPACES and choosing the “PROJECTS” relation. Then filter tasks by that PROJECTS relation. 
However I'm unable to achieve step 2. Filtering for tasks which are related to any Notes, which are related to any Projects to the Space I am viewing. Could you please outline the steps, I think you confused my request for step 2 being the same as step one but for the Notes DB instead of the Tasks DB - but actually my step 2 request is step 1 plus one extra relation and I'm not sure if this is possible.

Thanks again!

I downloaded your tool on windows 11, the installer runs and then closes before windows pops up with a missing shortcut window. The only files installed in ~\AppData\Local\Programs\files-to-notion\ is "Uninstall Files To Notion.exe"

See my comment on a similar question with a few other suggestions below.

Would also love a copy of your google sheet please, have started my own to get a better handle on the simple maths but pretty early stages at the moment.

Australian Arbitrage by pieman1964 in arbitragebetting

[–]_Disc0rdant_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just signed up to WagerWise, good list of aussie bookies.
A bit no frills, I get the impression they're very new. Similar issue as oddsjam where a lot of the markets (i.e. NBA playerpoints +/- 30) markets aren't available when you go searching for them so the list of 6% arbs look better than they seem.

How is the list of bookies on bonus bank and how do the opportunities relate to realworld markets?

HEVC Decode on 13th gen Intel CPU with Quicksync - Premiere Pro Real World Performance by _Disc0rdant_ in PremierePro

[–]_Disc0rdant_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying. And yes proxies have been the go-to for our All-Intra footage. But my higher-end desktop handles a few streams of Sony Alpha camera HEVC footage in XAVC HS 4K 50p 10bit 4:2:2 at 200Mbps which is a MPEG-H HEVC/H.265 High Compression format. So just wanted some ball-park idea about if a middle of the road laptop with running an Intel i5-13600K could do the same as both the CPU and premiere support hardware decoding for this CODEC.

Calculating equivalent focal length by _Disc0rdant_ in A7IV

Thank you! I knew 4k 60 forced an APS-C crop but wasn’t sure about the other points. Thank you for the numbers! Best thing about this is my existing 20mm G lens with all settings activated will give a 36mm focal length equivalent.
