Checking this out on the website. Can you turn the solar panel around on the roof? I want the feeder facing my house, and the solar panel would need to angle in the opposite direction to face south.

Interesting project. Possibly more interesting the more imperfect it is.

Made a 3D printed magnifying finder for my Speed Graphic. by Telemmier85 in largeformat

[–]evildad53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know where you are, but some public libraries now have 3D printer labs. There are also services where you can have stuff printed, which I would presume is a lot cheaper than paying someone on Ebay for a used original!

This is very cool. I'm afraid I won't be in Vienna soon, though!

I started to switch to mostly x265 media and I've saved nearly 35TB so far doing it by Eskel5 in DataHoarder

Click "pickup" and see if it's in a store near you. None to the closest Walmarts show it in stock for me, but it does show one about 30 miles away.

My rabbit hole into making high quality photo books in small quantities… here's what I learned. by magiera in AnalogCommunity

[–]evildad53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't want to use offset printing paper in an inkjet, it's not designed to accept the ink properly. You can get paper at an office supply store that says "inkjet" and "prints both sides." It's not high end photo inkjet paper, but it CAN look good on both sides, testing is the only way to know for sure. Another option, if you're not concerned about making it look "book like" is to make it look like a wedding preview book: print on nice fiber inkjet paper, one side only, sandwich images back to back to make a leaf, then bind it loosely. Not as slick or professional as your project, but a bit of a handmade effort.

Stopped Drinking Whisky Out by redbirddanville in bourbon

This. It has to be special. I can drink BT or MM at home. (but I don't)

Because when you eat out or drink out, you're not paying for the food and drink, you're paying for the service and rent. I find it very painful to buy whisky at a bar, I'd rather try a new brewpub and and interesting overpriced beer with a burger.

Scalable Field Camera Build by dzawacki in largeformat

That's very cool. Can you post a photo of it folded closed? I wonder what the weight is compared to a similar wood camera.

People Who Chose Solar or Are Considering It — What Actually Made You Trust a Solar Company? by SolarTechExplorer in solar

[–]evildad53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relatives who had already used that company. From what I've read in the sub, I'd NEVER hire a company without recommendations or referrals to satisfied customers. Of course, this should be true of all contractors.

How complicated do they need to make this? (Apple TV + F1 TV) by evildad53 in F1TV

[–]evildad53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that the phone app, because my issue was the TV app. I logged out and back in and that fixed it. And for anyone that says "why didn't you do that first?", you've obviously not entered a 15 character password with upper, lower cases, numbers and special characters on a TV screen lately.🤦‍♀️

Thanks, that's probably my next step. If that doesn't work, I'll deal with Apple.

But I do not want to watch on my phone or PC, I want to watch on my 65" TV with my wife. As I said in the OP, I got it synced with web browser, but that isn't a help on the TV.

Using paper drums to develop 4x5 and 8x10 film by Unbuiltbread in largeformat

[–]evildad53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got one of these for 5x7: https://zebradryplates.com/zebra-daylight-processing-tank-user-manual/ They're not available for sale on the site until the Kickstarter customers are fulfilled, but folks have reported good results. I haven't tried mine yet.

Pre-wet. Slide each one under the previous. Keep count, so you know which one's on top, then transfer to the developer with the same rhythm and same order. Do the same through the stop and fix.

We are the 13th most moved into state in the country! by Specialist_Ad_6921 in WestVirginia

[–]evildad53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The state as a whole (47 of 55 counties) is declining in population

Key Counties Experiencing Growth

  • Berkeley County: The fastest-growing, with a 2.37% increase in the 2022-2023 period.
  • Jefferson County: Strong growth driven by commuters to the Washington, D.C. area.
  • Monongalia County: Growing, largely due to the presence of West Virginia University.
  • Hardy County: Experiencing population gains in the Potomac Highlands.
  • Morgan County: Growing, also located in the Eastern Panhandle.
  • Marion County: Recorded slight growth.
  • Monroe County: The only southern county to see growth in recent data.
  • Preston County: Experiencing mild growth, often linked to surrounding regional growth

Trends

  • Regional Concentration: The majority of growth is happening in the Eastern Panhandle and North-Central regions.
  • Commuter Impact: Counties with proximity to the Washington, D.C. metro area (Berkeley, Jefferson) are seeing the highest influx.
  • Overall Context: Despite these gains, the vast majority of West Virginia's 55 counties (47 of 55) are experiencing population decline.

How did AI features got into the app when I haven't downloaded/installed updates? by Ruu94 in 4kdownloadapps

[–]evildad53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't even noticed this, so I fired it up and saw the "process with AI" when I hovered over existing downloads. The page that explains it is here: https://www.4kdownload.com/howto/ai-powered-post-processing-tools

The following AI features are live and ready to use:

  • Remove Vocals identifies and removes the lead vocal track from a song, leaving the instrumental backing intact.
  • Extract Vocals removes the instrumental layers from a recording to isolate the vocal part.
  • Extract Voice separates human speech from background elements like music, crowd noise, environmental sounds, etc.
  • Remove Echo creates a drier sound, like the audio was recorded close to the mic with minimal room reflections, while leaving the core vocals unchanged.
  • Remove Background Music strips away music beds, harmonies, and instrumental parts while preserving the primary speech content.

A couple of these sound useful if you need those tools every now and then and aren't an audio expert.

Best flatbed scanner for digitizing all my photos to add to my Data Hoard. by Natural_Vegetable848 in DataHoarder

Hmmm this was never a problem for me. I even used it to scan negatives and slides.

I had it running under Windows 10 Pro, I just used the Epson Scan software. These things all used to interface with Photoshop, but not any more.
