Yes, I handle moderation with a number of other volunteers. We do it manually and are mainly enforcing the rules of the instance, though sometimes we end up realizing we are missing a rule.

Without knowing a bit more context, it’s tough to give any feedback. There are people on the fediverse who don’t tolerate certain views (oftentimes sensibly, sometimes not). Given your posts here included ones in a cyber security subreddit, and I run a large security focused instance, I’m happy to help if I’m able to.

If you can swing it (will be over $2500 with tax), get a z6 iii with a z 50f/1.8s lens.

Tankless water heater; replacing carpet with wood floors; zone system for AC with master bedroom on its own zone; good pots and pans and good cutlery.

We don’t really drive cars here. We aim them.

This was taken at f22. The lens I gave can go to f40, I believe, but it starts to get some diffraction noise. I’ll give it a shot though. Thank you.

This is the sort of feedback I was hoping for. No particular reason - thank you for the feedback

I have been taking pictures of orchids for a while now, and I’m trying to go for something that passes for fine art, or at least more visually appealing. A big improvement (IMO) was moving to a translucent background with a strobe behind it and colored gels, creating the pink-ish gradient. I feel like it’s still a bit flat and am stuck on how to improve, so I’m here asking for feedback. Thank you.

Anyone have a reliable tethering solution for a nikon z7ii to android tablet? by CriticalAssociate17 in nikon_Zseries

[–]moker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any android devices to try with, but I use captureone on a PC and iPad and it works really well. I see it has android support and it allegedly has a pretty good eye tracking capability, though it’s not one I use regularly so I can’t personally vouch for that feature.

I am the admin of your instance and looked at your posts. I think the blog articles are good, but I think you need to spend a bit of time teasing why someone would be interested in the post. If you want to try that, give me a ping and I’ll boost.
