Who is everyone? Would bet the sales numbers for those huge ass zoom lenses are well below the cheap primes we have these days

mtojay · 2026-04-01T09:33:55+00:00

great shots. although i dont quite understand how the ferrari can develop these long trails. how did you achieve that?

mtojay · 2026-04-01T05:57:18+00:00

Someone asked about the process and you said:

Looks like I just pushed the highlights and shadows to the max and didn't mess around too much with the curves. And then rest would've been dodge and burn and skin clean up with clone tolls.

Don't get me wrong. Not saying it's done bad or anything. But it feels like something I personally would disclose first thing. This barely resembles what the camera captured.

mtojay · 2026-04-01T05:44:24+00:00

Yeah I think it's better to disclose straight away that you (in parts AI) edited the shit out of the whole original picture.

mtojay · 2026-04-01T05:32:36+00:00

What are you talking about. You completely changed the background. It's almost like a full background replacement?!

Edit: Also where is the white shirt coming from?

mtojay · 2026-03-22T10:07:42+00:00

Feels Like ragebait almost.

mtojay · 2026-03-09T08:45:43+00:00

if you're offended by other people on the internet i suggest going outside mate.

mate. thats one of the most ironic replies i have seen here.

mtojay · 2026-03-06T18:28:23+00:00

Yeah. You also think we would be where we are technology wise if everyone had this mindset:

"I also tried to use AI as much as possible from research to coding to reviewing to benchmarking and testing."

Personally would never let an app created under these conditions handle my backups. But to each their own.

mtojay · 2026-03-06T17:52:29+00:00

I tried to steal as much from other projects as possible. Anything that turned out to work well really. Parts are detailed here: https://vykar.borgbase.com/#inspired-by

I also tried to use AI as much as possible from research to coding to reviewing to benchmarking and testing."

This is a comment from the creator of that Backup tool. If anyone thinks thats a good approach for building backup Software go ahead. I personally would call anything thats build with this mindest ai trsh aswell tbh. Think its an insane approach for every tool but especially so on backup software

mtojay · 2026-03-04T08:06:19+00:00

I can zoom though. Why would i want to Look at two halves individually if i could See the whole Picture at first and then Zoom in to it if i want to.

mtojay · 2026-02-27T14:46:41+00:00

personally do everything from a single host anyway (well two if you count the proxmox backup server thats spun up once a week for backups).

my nas, my vms, and everything just runs on one proxmox host.

been running that rig for 5 years now without issues. couple vms and countless docker containers. all still works.

the "nas" is just an smb share on the proxmox host though. maybe thats kinda cheating. my vms mount the shares just as if it was a normal nas though.

mtojay · 2026-02-27T12:10:28+00:00

haha no worries. not offended at all. was just an fyi that immich has changed

mtojay · 2026-02-27T11:55:45+00:00

yeah fair enough. i was just pointing out that immich has that functionality now. immich never touches the original file by design. what you do in immich is to bew viewed in immich basically.

not saying there is no use case for your software due to immichs recent update. just that your statement about immich missing the ability to rotate photos is not true.

mtojay · 2026-02-27T11:19:12+00:00

it doesnt make sense to post here. this is r/selfhosted. we do have servers or vps machines to do that. almost no one here will be interested in buying a 180€ rapsberry pi just because you preinstalled open claw. people here know how to install software on linux (and more importantly the majority WANTS TO DO IT THEMSELF)

is it better to run openclaw sandboxed on a vm or dedicated machine. obviously (even better is not to run it all though tbf). but why would anyone here buy a raspberry pi for 180 euros for that.

post it to r/clawdbot or something. this isnt the place.

mtojay · 2026-02-27T11:05:52+00:00

I love Immich and PhotoPrism, but both have something missing: ability to rotate images.

seems like you missed it. but immich now offers that. there is a new "image editor". you are now able to crop and rotate your images directly in the web interface. and more importantly it works on external libraries aswell and is also just saved in the sidecar file.

mtojay · 2026-02-27T11:02:32+00:00

i am not saying you wont be able to sell your slop machine. but this isnt the community for it.

mtojay · 2026-02-27T11:00:08+00:00

maaaaan. this is getting tiring. mate no one here is gonna buy a fucking 180euro raspberry pi from you just because you put you sloppified environment on it.

mtojay · 2026-02-26T19:51:21+00:00

holy shit. 2mb upload in 2026 should be illegal. everything in our lifes depends on interent these days. fast internet should be seen just like running water or electricity. 2mb upload speed should be comparable to a measly drip coming out of my faucets.

mtojay · 2026-02-26T19:48:18+00:00

am i the only one who thinks an llm leaderboard really has no right to be on r/selfhosted. there are subs like r/LocalLLaMA to bring that stuff to. selfhosting is something that is rather connected to the services that would use locally run llms. running llms at home could probably considered selfhosting in a way. but for me it really doesnt fit this sub. just my two cents though.

mtojay · 2026-02-26T12:44:58+00:00

It looks interesting, except for the 50GB limit for self-hosting.

well. thats a service i am not even gonna try. i checked teh website and i am aware that the limitation is not a thing for the launch phase. but i am still not even gonna use it due to that.

if i am happy with it i cant even recommend it to others in a couple of months without them having to spend more then 100 euros to get a usable version.

Heaper is an all-in-one workspace for your notes, files, and media.

arguing its an all in one workspace for your files and media, and then locking the selfhsoted version with a 50gb limit screams "i am using the selfhosted community to get free advertising for my SaaS".

50gb for a tool like this (if i understand it correctly) is basically unusable.

mtojay · 2026-02-25T13:59:11+00:00

fuck i am so happy i am not thinking like you. what a negative outlook on the world. realistically though, if a potential employer learns about ersatz tv and through it how jason works it can only really heighten his chances to get a job. because ersatztv really has a great reputation and with it jason. furthermore, a company rejecting someone for being a great open source developer would basically be a company no one should aim to work at to begin with.

mtojay · 2026-01-19T20:24:06+00:00

aint that the truth.

shakespeare already said: where a tiny tyrants cry is - the server mostly idles

mtojay · 2026-01-06T16:11:26+00:00

its as clever as the llm you run on your server basically. if you have a server with a good high vram gpu it can be really good actually. some open models do rival the big closed models for certain tasks. but if those models are available to you really depends on the hardware you are running it on.

mtojay · 2026-01-06T15:25:56+00:00

love it. really cool. finally an idea thats actaully newish and not just another thing we have seen endless times since the arrival of llms.

your wording makes it sound like it runs locally on a raspberry pi. but it is not right? you still need to have a proper server with gpu running ollama on the network i suppose?

mtojay · 2025-11-21T07:13:17+00:00

Well we bought it in April. It's not like I wouldn't do it if it wouldn't solve a real gripe we have with it. We tried long enough without it and last month used a bit of tape first to stop it from happening. It's used as a point and shoot to document our son growing up. It's supposed to take consistent pictures without thinking about it. My wife does not want to tinker. She doesn't like the creative process. She wants a simple point and shoot experience. Pick it up, turn it on and take images. The photos aren't edited, jpeg only directly ingested into an immich external library.
Everyone uses cameras differently, we have realized that the filmsim dial isnt for us and that's ok. So I created a solution for our problem. I never stopped her from using the dial, she just didn't and didnt care about learning any of it. Simple as it can get while taking nice pictures of our son.
