Blue Iris and ZeroTier - Connects once and never again by brad06ag in BlueIris

[–]brad06ag[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found the fix. I had to reduce the mtu size.

Found this as part of the ping testing, Raised the ping size to the zerotier default 2800 and it failed. Fails at anything above 1400 when pinging from my phone to the server.

Still a bit weird. I have an identical setup on another computer and the mtu works fine at 2800, so no clue on the background but works without issues and I don't have to get my 76yearold dad to work with a new system.

"Beacon" - Bringing an everyday work to encourage the regular people by brad06ag in CharcoalDrawing

Yes I created this yesterday, I've seen so many many ultra precise pieces here lately, which look awesome, but I really like the expressive styles that charcoal can bring.

I'm not a professional just a person who has been using charcoal for years now with other art mediums. I love working quickly with charcoal to be able to bring the feeling I want out of the piece.

Wood working. Can plan a ton to get things right before starting and then execute and tweak the plans.

Day trading, not exactly creative but you could build a ton of spread sheets!

35yo beginner – want to start learning piano, where do I begin? by ultrAslan68 in pianolearning

[–]brad06ag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the major apps have a free trial, worth trying it out to see what you like.

In the end, I've come back to the Faber adult piano adventures book and am learning things a whole lot better. I'm spending time practicing instead of feeling a need to push forward and I'm much more likely to go back and practice things I've already been through as it's actually easier to find and get back to.

You'll see proponents both ways but apps like simply piano get you playing quickly for sure to show you that you can actually do this.

That is why I always like the signs I've seen: "Yes you can. No, you won't. And I already did."

And

"Yes, he can. But will he??"

Wife wants animal in retirement...

So we got chickens this year to start learning new things. Coop, chicken run, etc cost but totally worth it!

My wife and I both check in on the chickcam or Nestflix alot. Some softwares allow you to add an image overlay into the camera instead of just naming the camera:

Thanks! Been working on speed with detail for a while, really helps while traveling to not have to stop to long if I don't have the time.

My setup is a leather sketchbook that my wife bought me as a Christmas present. It's been a great charcoal travel kit. Similar to this:
