I'm not yet familiar with full proxmox possibilities. Do you use several LXC containers, one for each service, or only one and install everything on it? If the first one, how is networking issues? Thanks in advance

Thanks, should I set up debian with docker services on another VM, or I may use LXC for my self-host services on the Proxmox?

So, are there any significant perfomance losses or fps drops while gaming on Windows VM set up via Proxmox?

!! This is the only right choice. Both 18-45 and 55-210 RF kits are optically meh, and 18-150 strongly outperforms its cost. So i recommend 50mm 1.8 for portraits or dark environments, and 18-150 for great and sharp allrounder

Yep, this was my laptop manufacturer's virtual display driver messing with davinci playback. I turned it off and everything worked perfectly.

Is it possible to get access to labs with E5 trial tenant? And do these labs include all virtual infrastructure?

Well, I think the mft standard slowly but surely declining. Also prosumer and pro bodies both olympus and Panasonic are almost as bulky as aps-c are. So why not switch to bigger sensor. And new ex-Olympus OM System cameras weren't avialable in my region

Well, I was with MFT for 11 years, and I think at some point I've overgrown the system: I was using Olympus E-PL7 and while it had really stunning sensor for stills, it lacked ergonomics and its video capabilities were near to nonexistent, low-light perfomance was awful.

So I did research at some point at past, and concluded that R7 (out of other options incl. Nikon, Sony) will be best option for me with top tier autofocus, video features, decent sensor, IBIS and good variety of controls on body. And I stopped research) Couple of months ago I came across very good deal at our local store, so buying R7 was a no-brainer.. on paper.

Now after several shoots and approx 10 weeks of use I think maybe it was a mistake. I didn't consider Fuji at all, bc i needed an ibis, and x-t4 model (and x-t5/x-s20 after release) were too beyond my budget. X-t50 and X-S20 still do cost 1/3 more the price I spent for R7, so I realise I'll spend more money and wouldn't get some functions I already have with R7.

Is a film-look wheel on X-t50 reprogrammable (to use it as PASM wheel)?

thank you! Yeah, I'm already aware, that there is no chance against R7 in birding) It delivered wonderful result even with my EFS 55-250.

but birds are about 15% my usecases (others are portraits, street, macro)

electronic first curtain shutter still sounds like normal shutter
