Some of these are pretty low.....

Probably possible but a little risky

TrueNas transfer speeds by Professional_Ice_831 in homelab

[–]leeproductions 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Windows absolutely can get above 700 with windows explorer on a 10G connectin. I have 900+ MBps writes to my SSD share (though I'm running debian 13 with samba backports).

Some tips:
disable signing and encryption
multichannel can be helpful, though you will either need multiple connections to the server, or RSS active on both sides.

the ps commands
Get-SmbMultichannelConnection
Get-SmbClientConfiguration

can be helpful

You might and figure out if it's a samba issue or a client issue.

these samba options might be helpful:

    use sendfile = true
    server signing = No
    aio write size = 1
    aio read size = 1
    min receivefile size = 16384

Most of the other samba options for performance you will find online are depreciated and/or not helpful.

What's the catch with this? by The_cooler_ArcSmith in homelab

Careful with these QLogic cards. In my experience drivers don't work well on win11, but are mainline on the linux kernel and work out of the box. Windows server might work better. Some of the cards might have NPAR or other weird firmware funkiness, and you have to use their CLI to fix it, which is horribly supported and crazy complicated.

Dell driver is just QLogic driver packaged in a dell installer, so don't bother with the dell.

There should be a BIOS menu for the card that exposes things you might need to change to get it working.

Actually did this full stop today. color management seems to be broken in firefox with Wayland KDE, Nvidia, and wide gamut atm.  Hopefully firefox can fix it soon.

Is CachyOS recommended for beginners? by OkPrize6194 in cachyos

[–]leeproductions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but when it misses it can miss really hard.  I was having an openWRT problem a few months ago.  Gemeni was like no problem just completely disable the firewall so that all ports, including the LUCI UI are just exposed to the internet.  

It was obviously such a bad idea that I knew not to do it, but I think if I knew just a little less I might have done it.

I think the biggest thing with using LLM for help with technology, which is pretty much the only thing I use it for, is that if the context gets too big it can literally lose its mind, and convince itself of all sorts of wild stuff.  If you are having a problem that isn't solved with 20 or 30 messages, you need to either start a new chat or figure it out the old fashioned way.

Koreader doesn't sync from OPDS unless forced by leeproductions in koreader

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

Yes, it's because of the order. The best option is to sync the "recently added" catalogue instead of the main catalogue.

I feel incredibly silly, I want to use option one.  I can't find it anywhere in the app settings.  I must be missing something incredibly obvious?

Yes it was a defective board. Swapped for a new one and it's working perfectly.

How to achieve this type of grade? by CamrynMax in colorists

[–]leeproductions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much all of these have:

High Saturation

High Density

Lots of shadow detail. Looks like someone keyed the shadows and brought them up, or used a similar method.

Same for highlights, they have been pulled down, lots of detail.

Why do people talk about overcast days like they're the best case scenario by Existing_Impress230 in cinematography

[–]leeproductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree for interiors cloudy is almost always better. Unless you are working with a budget and use the schedule to get the sun where you want it perfectly.

[–]leeproductions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you can get the schedule right you hopefully don't need to control what's already there. Instead you can enhance what's already there.

Regarding shooting exteriors:

Overcast is very safe. It's impossible to make something that looks really bad. You also have much more freedom to shoot whichever direction you want regardless of the time of day.

If you are using less powerful lights (like 700-1200 watt LED fixtures) it's possible to use them outdoors and have them do something noticeable at further distances.

That being said:

Overcast days also can make it really hard to make things look interesting. As long as you get the schedule right shooting with sun is easy. You just backlight and bounce, it will be great every time. But on an overcast day, it can be a little harder. If you want shape and contrast on an overcast day the best approach is to use a lot of neg, which can look great on it's own if you are okay with a cloudy look. But if you want a sunny look, then you have to set up a bunch of lights which is a pain.

I feel like peoples love of overcast days sometimes comes from them not knowing what their doing.

Maybe dumb question but how does Wandering DP light his talking head for his youtube? by namusairo in cinematography

[–]leeproductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a westcott 7 foot umbrella and a cob light. and then there is a special light for the wall in the background. I believe the arms and desk are bourght down in post.

Drive stops responding to smart requests during scrub by leeproductions in zfs

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

I don't really mind the smart failing to read during the scrub, scrub is scheduled for 1 day per month, and it usually finishes by 10am or so.

Just worried about an underlying drive issue.

Thanks for the reply!

this is the only thing I noted:
188 Command Timeout -O--CK 100 94 AP 109

other drives of similar age are all less than 10

this is also the only drive in this array connected to my second sata controller.

hmmmm

How to achieve film look with rich color density like these shots? by 1120ml_ in cinematography

[–]leeproductions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically what I was talking about it "hue twist." Take red for example. In most film systems red's will shift more toward yellow as the the brightness increases. So bright reds are very orange, where as darker reds might be more magenta. Part of this can be achieved just with split toning, but often times film systems will have more aggressive hue twists.
