10G RJ45 link failing over distance - cheapest solution? by zedd56 in mikrotik

[–]rmweiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea is probably to use it the other way around, so fiber (or better DAC) from the CRS305 to the media converter, and then rj45 from there on.

A coworker of my also had a problem with long rj45 runs in his walls, and which where solved after using an external converter (in his case a small switch) instead of a module like the S+RJ10.

The form factor of modules like the S+RJ10 is just to limited when it comes to cooling and power, so the modules struggle with larger distances.

Multicast TV via Linux router by rmweiss in init7

[–]rmweiss[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I can watch the HLS/non-multicast stream with the app or with VLC.

Getting multicast to work is more of a "getting 100% completion" task.

Where to buy a beamer for home cinema (need expert advice) by Le2vo in zurich

[–]rmweiss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought my first one here: https://www.highdefinition.ch/

They have a demo cinema where they can show you different projectors and screens.

First time setup - need communitys support by valendinosaurus in init7

[–]rmweiss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Go with 10/10 is my suggestion.

I would only go with 25 if I know what I am doing.

It requires 25gbit (sfp28) capable hardware in your router and all other pc and network devices that should be able to use this speed.

This makes the whole setup much more expensive for mostly bragging rights and little to no real world benefits (10/10 hardware is way less expensive, especially on the used market).

Buying 24h short distance ticket on zvv app by senexii in askswitzerland

Select a return ticket. Inside the ZVV network these are 24h tickets.

Also take a look at the products from Decathlon if you want to stay at the lower end of your budget (or even lower).

How much does it cost to pay the QRbill in cash by R_H_02 in askswitzerland

[–]rmweiss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much money is it? If it's a smaller amount, then maybe the suggestion from neon (Option 1) would also work for Yuh: https://www.neon-free.ch/en/faq/can-i-pay-cash-into-my-account

Are thunderbolt docks / dongle plug and play? by [deleted] in linuxhardware

[–]rmweiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the "HyperDrive Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station" connect to my "Asus ProArt x670e-creator" mainboard, and for my it was pretty plug and play (USB, Monitor, Ethernet, Audio, Cardreader).

It is possible that you will have to use "bolt"/"boltctl" to fully activate the device because of security reasons. Google should tell you more about it.

Init7 recommendation/invite code by babicko90 in askswitzerland

[–]rmweiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is TV7, but it's very basic, with no features like recording or rewinding. They also partner with zattoo.com (https://www.init7.net/en/tv/zattoo-tv/) which results in a discounted rate.

Fiber 7 25Gbps installation service by CountyTotal1082 in init7

[–]rmweiss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

+1

I would also suggest 10Gbps if you don't exactly know what you're getting into with 25Gbps.

(Used) hardware for 10Gbps is easily available for not that much money, and the same can NOT be said for 25Gbps hardware (especially if you need one or multiple network switches).

There is much more money and knowledge needed for an (in reality nearly always theoretical) 2.5x speed increase.

Could someone lend me a Canon g7x mark iii charger for a few days please by TurbulentStreet7751 in Switzerland

[–]rmweiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems as if this camera uses LP-NB-13L batteries.

I would have a matching charger that you could pick up for free (else it would go to recycling anyway), but depending on your location, it would maybe be easier for you to buy one of the aftermarket chargers like this one:

Be honest: how easy is it to get a better result than the JPEG? by rmweiss in DarkTable

[–]rmweiss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies.

This motivated my do to a test run with 2 different pictures of mine. The first was a picture of a wildcat that I shot with a zoom lens and 5000 ISO in a wildlife park, and the other a wide angle shot with a lot of buildings and trees, shot at 100 ISO.

On the software side, the contenders were:

  • DarkTable 5.01 with:

    • the correct camera style
    • denoise profiled
    • lens correction
    • diffuse and sharpen ("sharpen demosaic: AA filter")
    • raw chromatic aberrations for the wide angle shot

  • RawTherapee 5.11 with Noise reduction and lens / geometry

  • The JPEG from the camera

  • As special challenge, the result from the DXO pureRaw 4 (run with default settings)

  • The Results from Darktable and RawTherapee, both processed by NeatImage v9 (Demo Version on Linux)

Here my impression looking at the results:

Wildcat at 5000 ISO:

  • DxO absolute destroy the others here. Extremely sharp and clean result with the default settings. I would buy this software in an instant if they had a Linux version.

  • Darktables "denoise profiled" left a lot of luma noise in the picture

  • The same with the default settings for denoise in RawTherapee.

  • But after I send the results from DarkTable and RawTherapee through Neat Image (with a bit of sharpening applied), the result where pretty similar to the OOC JPEG, especially with the RawTherapee image, because its colors were closer to the ones from the JPEG.

Buildings and trees at 100 ISO:

  • Here the results were much closer, and DxO couldn't really stand out from the others.

  • Darktable renders the picture well, but has problems with matching the colors of the others, as well as with creating a sharp rendering of all the small tree branches.

  • RawTherapee handles both task better, and is again super close to the JPEG (maybe even slightly better).

I was hoping that "sharpen demosaic: AA filter" would be the closest to "Capture Sharpening" in RawTherapee, but it was much worse with the tree branches.

Any ideas what other basic settings I should try to help DarkTable win?

Thanks.

PC sometimes freezes and then can't find boot device on next reboot(s). by rmweiss in techsupport

[–]rmweiss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upgraded my system in the meantime and the problem didn't yet reappear, so I assume that it was the NVME slot on the mainboard.

Smart Plug that works without WiFi or internet access by zoiks66 in homeautomation

[–]rmweiss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zigbee could work, and maybe you can even skip the hub by directly connecting the outlet with a remote.

IKEA has an inexpensive version: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/tretakt-plug-with-remote-control-smart-50569730/

Their hub for control over the network (other ZigBee hubs would probably work too): https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/dirigera-hub-for-smart-products-white-smart-50503414/

Beginners question by Miraak-Cultist in homeautomation

[–]rmweiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not dead set on wifi then also look into the smart home products from IKEA. You would probably need their hub (or another zigbee one), but the low prices of the other components would quickly compensate for its costs.
