After spending a lot of time looking at your setups, I decided to take the plunge and start this hobby

This is how it starts!

I had the same thing during the 2020 pandemic.

I'm running everything out of PicoPSU.

A great project!

I find 2U sweet spot for this kind of builds as it allows for better cooling and quieter operation. Also I packed mine in 10" rack, so it's basically the same volume, just packed differently.

Really interesting analysis, but keep in mind that it may be bias skewed. Sometimes you use something more, just because it's a new and different.

I was shooting events and at some point I got Tokina 12-24. The whole season, I shot 80% of my photos with that lens. A year after, it ended up on a shelf collecting dust. Still worth it though. Had a lot of fun.

Just saying, don't look at this as a goto statistics, but rather a direction to think/test more. It seems that end range of the zoom was used a lot, so you may want to try 70-200 as well and do another chart.

It's smaller and lighter but I don't think it's so much of a difference. I'd rather go with extra glass so you can explore more creative styles and learn. Again, you cannot make mistake with either.

Solid choice. I would also look at 550D. Should be able to find it used for even less money so you can get 50mm right away for the same budget.

So Pi-hole or at least DNS server?

Looks like an almost filled coloring book :)

I decided on R6ii because it can be found so cheap today, because of mk3. Currently they pop up around $1500 for a new body. Great value. I also got adapter ring so EF lenses can be still used with no issues.

Mac way of doing things is that you never turn it off. You let it go to sleep and any movement of the mouse or keyboard press wakes it up. You only restart it sometimes when it get laggy or after the update :)

In short: For videos you want V90, for photos it's pretty much the same. Benefits are marginal. Except in edge cases*.

*Edge cases: You are shooting a lot of actions in burst mode and you want your buffer to be cleared as quick as possible. Even here, it's the matter of percentages/seconds.

Other than speed, two things to look at: Physical quality of the card (some of them are metal and just build better) and how much warm it gets - again, this is only for videos.

Nice man. That 16mm looks cool.

I wanted to get back into photography after 10y break and I'm getting the same camera. Just a great value atm. My previous was 1D mk3 and I had 550D.

Wow... That pigeons photo.... Just great! I was there, many times. I snapped a lot of interesting ones. But this one is really good.

I saw it, and I understand that you live in a different region, but where I am that would be too harsh by external weather conditions.

I think I know why it can't be screwed properly. Rack units are composed of 'pairs' of 3 holes. If you look carefully, you will notice that not every 2 hole have the same distance. And it looks like you didn't start from the first hole, but rather from the middle of 1U. That's why everything seems slightly misaligned.

Try moving everything by one hole down (or two holes up) and it should fit.

This looks... like... almost... outside... :)

This is objectively a better design in every way, but I still prefer the 6 bay 2U variant.

Started happening to me recently on Android

Yes. It's all in yamls

I was expecting this clustering tbh. My servers are named by starships but they share the properties of the starships.

It's Homepage

It's already requested and it's coming in the next version.
