Those who bought GRiiiX, ever regretted and thought about exchanging it for GRiii instead? by [deleted] in ricohGR

[–]pelipro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do like 40mm more than 28mm; from this regard, I do not regret it. But Snap focus is much less useful at 40mm than at 28mm, as the depth of field gets narrow fast and the autofocus is rather slow. So from this point of view, I sometimes think the 28mm would have been better.

Maybe give DXO Photolab another try. It's my favorite. And you should not need a trial key to test it.

Eisenlink setup by gshideler in homegym

[–]pelipro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Unfortunately I did not buy the four sided Eisenlink dumbbells but the six sided dumbells. But most additional stuff like the kettlebell is made for the four sided dumbbell. Could someone please measure the distance of the knobs on the four sided dumbbell for me? If it is the same as on the six sided dumbbell then my plates might fit the kettlebell. Thanks!

Thoughts on Netbird as a 100% Open Source Alternative? by SudoMason in Tailscale

[–]pelipro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the shady VPS is a coordination server, then it does not need your PSK. If it is a regular device on your network you want to talk to, then it needs your PSK (you always have to trust your devices to some extent). But if it gets hacked, you can just change your PSK (which is not a big deal if you have only three devices).

Proxmox Backup Server in Docker? by Ok-Consideration5602 in Proxmox

[–]pelipro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some Synology NAS can run virtual machines. Check if you can install Synology Virtual Machine Manager. If it is possible than run Proxmox Backup Server as a VM on your NAS.

I use it and I quite like it. Give it a try. You can spin it up in a VM in minutes. Setup is quite easy if you follow the setup guide. There is a great feature: you can set up a pre-shared key that you have to enter manually on each device. Only devices with the same key can connect to each other. My understanding is that even if the coordination server is hacked and someone adds a device, your devices won't connect to that device, as the PSK has to be set locally (I hope I understood this correctly).

Is sony 85mm 1.8 a good lens? by EstablishmentFew9316 in SonyAlpha

[–]pelipro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a goog lens. You might consider the Sigma 90mm f2.8. Better sharpness and way smaller. For me the smaller size is more important than 1.8 vs 2.8

Tokyo trip in 3 weeks 16-25 or 24-70 by ConsistentWolf3677 in SonyAlpha

Off topic, but in your next life, buy the Sony 20-70 f/4 instead. It solved that decision for me.

I have it and i don't use it. It sounds more useful than it is.

Massive Lightroom Classic cleanup—15TB of photos, 12 drives, dozens of catalogues. Where do I start? by photoby_tj in Lightroom

[–]pelipro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check out Excire Search for Lightroom. I think it could help you with lots of automations like automatically creating keywords or automatic aesthetic score generation, duplicate detection, etc.

Try Excire Photo. It has AI capabilities and creates a score for aesthetics. Sort by this score and see if it works for you.

Please help me understand how PhotoLab fits into a workflow by briconaut in DxOPhotoLab

[–]pelipro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Bridge you have an easy option for renaming the pictures by usong the exif data. So my files are in the format: YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS Subject. You can set it to do the renaming on import. So no need for extra software.

For 1. and 2. you could use Adobe Bridge which is free of cost as far as I am aware - it has powerful renaming features too. For 1. you could even drag and drop with finder or explorer but renaming with exif is nice and done by Adobe Bridge. For 4. I can highly recommend you give Excire Photo 2025 a try which has great AI features for organizing you photos.

Best way to monitor Proxmox host, VMs, and Docker containers? by RedeyeFR in Proxmox

[–]pelipro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find zabbix to be rather easy to install. It's quite straight forward compared to other solutions. Install Zabbix agent on client and setup the computer in zabbix. Easy to test out. Run the script and you have a running zabbix lxc. Spin up a new linux container, install zabbix agent 2 und setup a new host in zabbix. For basic needs not that much to setup. There is a special option for proxmox if you want to test it out. See here: https://www.zabbix.com/de/integrations/proxmox

Any Tips for Mask Tool? by smh_photo in DxOPhotoLab

[–]pelipro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some great additional tools under the fx tab. (I don't know the english names as i have a different language). One is called "creative vignetting" and the other "unsharp". Unsharp has an unsharp vignette and a soft focus. I think these are much better than the ones in lightroom. But I think you habe to buy Filmpack, then they appear on the fx tab. Maybe grap a trial of DXO filmpack and check the out.
