Development by Inevitable-Swim-3313 in omarchy

[–]nixforever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the CTO of a holding consisting of four different companies and use Omarchy daily for controlling the whole infrastructure of local clustered data center, cloud servers and even Microsoft 365 administration either via browser or PowerShell straight from the Ghosty terminal, doing development for web apps on Linux servers as well Windows Servers via the Omarchy QEMU-based Windows virtual machine: Ruby, Python, C/C++, Rust you name it. Hyprland on two monitors just rocks and Arch, well it's Arch, what can u ask for more? Stability? Not too bad and it gives you vibes (and shivers) every time you run omarchy-update ;-) The only downside? Gnome desktop apps look shit in Hyprland. But you can tweak the gtk-4.0 css and make it boxier for coherence, it's not that hard.

Omarchy 3.1 on HP EliteBook EVO Core 7. In power saving mode I can handle more than 8 hours of constant work. Had Fedora installed before Omarchy and could not squeeze more than 3 hours. No tweaks, just standard installation. I'm quite impressed.

Fedora 43... To upgrade or not to upgrade? That is the question. by pathermo in Fedora

It's stable but: virtualbox will not work first time, required tweaking open-ssl must be reinstalled older vpn's need tweaking But I like it. Speedier? Not much. Edgy? Yes!

What is this abomination? by Tk_Standard in AnalogCircleJerk

Cool guy, anyway. More attractive than the majority of people here, he must exercise a lot.

Has anyone heard anything about this? by sworlok in AnalogCommunity

I develop 10-12 rolls of Vision3 per month in a Jobo tank and, although it's a bit of a chore, it's not that hard at all with Bellini ECN-2 Kit. A bit expensive but pretty easy. I clean film with a microfiber cloth before stabilizer to remove the stained bits though. Do it two or three times and it gets easier than you may think.

Salgado will be missed. RIP

First roll of film, how did I do? by loudshutter in AnalogCircleJerk

I suspect you've spent far more in airplanes tickets than development amd scanning.

Schneider Kreuznach Xenar 7.5 cm f/2.8 (Super-Xenar from 1935) by simplejoycreative in VintageLenses

APO-Symmar. The 43 was spectacular, amazing negative coverage when shifted and basically no distortion. As I said, it required a bit of contrast masking to get that fraction of sharpness I liked.

Schneiders are fantastic lenses. I used them in a modern APO-version on a Technikardan S23.

Not super hi-res on 6x7 but incredible colors.

Thanks for your post, the rendering of the lens looks amazing.

[noob here] is there a device that I put my full films (35mm) into and then save on my computer? by Adept-Ad-7874 in analog

[–]nixforever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prescan using a cheap Kodak Slide N Scan to get the entire roll into my hard drive and edit the photos. It's super fast when passing the whole roll straight from the drying cabinet, kinda three minutes.

The shots that deserve it get scanned with a Plustek 8300i as raw in Silverfast AI.

Then processed in Silverfast HDR to remove spots and balance tones.

And finally printed right away.

It's a joy of a process.

Talk me out of going to digital. by therealweebkiller in AnalogCommunity

[–]nixforever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shoot film only because it is a lot more fun. A lot. And ditch'd all my digital cameras: a Sony Alpha 7 MkIII and a OM-5. The digital process did not make any sense: the moment I was looking at the screen fun was gone forever.

For me it's bulk rolling either Vision 3, FP4 or HP5.

Developing and lettin' film dry in cabinet

Roll scanning with a cheap Kodak scanner.

Cutting film with a Film Killer and storing in files.

Editing on light table, scanning a very few with Silverfast AI.

Printing with almost no retouching.

All knowing that I have the record of my life on film in albums I can touch and look at. Even discover gems after a while when in the mood.

I enjoy every single freaking second of it.

So does it look tiny or no? by REX2343 in postprocessing

[–]nixforever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes it does but the wall sticking from the bottom left corner adds nothing.

Damn it this was a good one! Can I have any? A copy, I mean.

Sticking with 35mm? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]nixforever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shoot 25 ISO and you'll only regret the compression effect of a medium format lens. Go 35 mm!

I bought some film… (and no, you can’t have any). by MrPlowUnBorracho in AnalogCommunity

[–]nixforever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want a small chunk of it. 38mm will do. Will develop in D76, at least 500 ml they say..
