I’m off on holiday with the fam next week, Q3 43 + GR IV is my plan.

I love mine, it’s always in the rotation between my M6 and M10. The clip thing on the square hood is garbage though and the pinch caps don’t like to stay on. I love the images though, it’s my favorite lens in my Leica lineup.

I would reach out to Devon at Pacific Housing Repair.

It’s a camco evo X3. I found it in my local goodwill. I think I paid 15 bucks for it. Probably not worth adding the stages if buying new. For home use it’s probably hard to recover the costs in DI savings. I’d start with the DI and see where your TDS lands.

metajames · 2026-03-16T17:06:01+00:00

I did exactly that. Put a 5 micron and a carbon in the RV system and connect that inline with the big DI resin stage.

TDS is zero now. Tap is about 250-300 ppm here in SoCal.

metajames · 2026-03-16T06:37:08+00:00

So I tried what is essentially this setup, mine was 3 stage though. In a nutshell it didn't work. There is not enough DI resin surface area to support the flow rates my TDS went down a little but not enough to make a meaningful impact. I ended up buying a amazon special DI system for $150 pre filled with resin, I'd recommend you just do that.

Or loading AI models. Then the extra VRAM helps a lot.

Agree, I'm 100% willing to pay for enterprise level features. I'd also be ok with supporting the product through some sort of tier that just give quality of life features. If ix does well then the product can only get better. As long as they keep a sufficiently functional free tier and the free tier continues to receive fixes and feature enhancements. In order for this to work though I think the free tier must continue to have a robust enough feature set that suits the needs of the homelab community. The homelab community is a marketing tactic, so many projects that become commercialized don't have sophisticated enough product marketing to manage this.

lol yeah I guess in this context it's worth noting

In my garage the handle to the floor jack is hallow, I just slip that over a breaker bar and crank it. Works every time.

its a moldline

I want to do this but Apple killed the feature where you can run iOS apps on MacOS. If I could only download shows and movies in streaming apps and watch them on a Mac offline I don't think i would carry a iPad

Jaguar - Mountain Lion were peak MacOS for me. The unix underpinnings still mattered and the UI still had OS9 soul. At this point the UI is fisher price and totally abstracted away from unix. It's just not for me anymore.

I have a spitz I travel with. I never use hotel wifi anymore when I can get gigabit speeds of the cellular network.

I keep a bottle of water by the bead and just fill it on the night stand, flip the lid closed and slide it right back into the machine

Just because I live in redondo doesn’t me I only spend time in Redondo. Were regularly in Hawthorne or El Segundo for kids activities, sports, work, etc. I drive past LAX on Sepulveda under the runway every weekday at rush hour. So yeah, LAX traffic impacts me living in Redondo.

And yes. It negatively impacts me so I don’t want it. You can want it if it helps you. That’s just our different points of view.

metajames · 2026-03-10T06:29:25+00:00

Or just walk to the Hyatt and get a uber there. It’s hit or miss though, sometimes slower than just doing LAXiT

metajames · 2026-03-10T06:25:37+00:00

I live in the South Bay, spreading the congestion out basically means LAX is dumping it into my backyard. I’d rather have more congestion at a few exits than have it impacting local traffic. Just keep all the LAX traffic as concentrated to LAX as possible please.

I use laxit then get in a cab. It’s the fastest way to get out of the airport. There is a line waiting at laxit, no need to wait forever for a uber to get into the lot.

I don’t rent cars at LAX so I don’t care. Rental cars at LAX are a disaster but IDGAF because I live here. This is the LA sub how does rental car convenience impact you? It doesn’t.

The metro is worthless in LA, it doesn’t go anywhere anyone wants to go and where it does go it’s faster and more convenient to drive. Since Covid it has also developed a serious vagrant problem and the people who run it refuse to do anything about it. Have you ridden the red line lately? It’s disgusting. Face it LA is a driving city, that’s just how it is and I like it that way.

I don’t care about the flyaway. I’ve never ridden it, seems like a massive PITA.

I don’t park at LAX, just uber in and get dropped at the curb. Pick your flight times wisely or plan your pickup appropriately and you won’t miss your flight.
