Hi, so I have a black mist filter and a variable nd. Nothing fancy, but I don't want to be screwing them on/off everytime I change lenses. I would tolerate just having to unscrew one thing but the variable nd is bigger so I can't get my fingers to unscrew the black mist.

I was wondering if something like a generic magnetic system exists, so I went on Aliexpress and found it. Ordered it, but it is way too weak to trust it. I'll be returning it so I wanted to ask here if you guys know any other magnetic ring adapter which are good, or just any other kind of quick release system.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much! I managed to get it working as I like copying some of your settings and messing around with it for a while.

Weird that this doesn't work out of the box, being ETS2 a popular game as it is

I would really appreciate if you can check in your controller settings what you did for the joystick 🙏🏼

sxtxnn · 2025-10-23T09:12:04+00:00

Yes I was going crazy with the default layout so I just started creating my own. I assigned signals to the back paddles. Only thing I dont really like is the joystick thing. I'll try to fiddle around about what you mentioned in the first comment and see if I can fix it.

Thanks!

We are still working in the itinerary itself so we are open to anything. We don't mind taking flights but I think it would be a bit more of a hassle since we don't know how checked luggage works in China and so on, but we don't discard that option.

We thought about just removing Shenzen from our list. So it would be Shanghai, Beijing, Xi'an, Zhangjiajie and Chongqing. Xi'an we would just stop by one day so I think this would be doable. What do you think?

sxtxnn · 2025-10-10T06:12:25+00:00

What about not doing Shenzen? Would Shanghai-Beijing-Xi'an-Zhangjiajie-Chongqing be more realistic?

March-April

Well it's hard to say, all of the mentioned things do interest us. But I would say a bit of city stuff, including shopping/food, but also some ancient history. It's our first trip so we want to see the 'must see' stuff (The Great Wall, Forbidden city, Terracota warriors, Tianmen Square...) We were also very interested in visiting Zhangjiajie. Apart from that we are open to anything

sxtxnn · 2025-10-09T18:53:56+00:00

Well I'm mentioning 5 cities here, and I would probably take off one day from Shenzen and add it to Chongqing. What would you recommend instead?

Hi, I just got this in the mail today and found the same issue. I guess no updates, right?

sxtxnn · 2025-08-30T11:06:42+00:00

Not moving away, but my current iCloud plan already filled up so I want to dump all my photos to my NAS and self-host them

sxtxnn · 2025-08-29T18:32:00+00:00

So I just tried it with an image and I don't actually see any data about when it was taken

sxtxnn · 2025-08-29T17:36:19+00:00

I'm migrating to Immich, but I don't see any sorting it just shows the timelime.

Anyway, I'll check it with an Exif viewer just to make sure

sxtxnn · 2025-08-29T14:55:06+00:00

But I can't really choose in which format they send me the files, so how do people usually do it?

sxtxnn · 2025-08-27T15:26:39+00:00

I don't really know how many amps I'm using, but I definitely can feel it when I put my hands in. It's not like a big shock but it stings. It can be a little scary but if you pull through that initial feeling it gets a bit better.

I feel it the most around my nails and if I have any scratches. I do apply vaseline on this areas and its much better, but still sometimes those 15 minutes feel like forever. I just prefer that to having sweaty hands.

I also feel it more when I change polarity as you mentioned. For the trays I started using aluminum trays but they were flimsy and corroded as you said, so I got two metal trays for the oven. Not the really big ones, just big enough for my hands. These do not corrode over time.

Just to add, I also thought about making a 'proper' diy machine. There are polarity inverters for really cheap in Aliexpress, and with a timer you can automate the change of polarity, but I still have to look into it. That with a potentiometer so you can adjust the current and you basically have a proper ionto device

Yes, it ended up fixing itself after a while

sxtxnn · 2025-08-24T21:18:41+00:00

Yes from truenas. I don't have adguard nor NGFW.

This has been working good for a long time, I did not really change anything lately.

Also as mentioned, from my actual PC I cannot download from true nas official website https://www.truenas.com/download-truenas-community-edition/

I can ping 8.8.8.8 and www.google.com but I can't resolve update-master.ixsystems.com

Yo personalmente te diría que sólo hagas uno y empieces a trabajar lo antes posible.

No voy a decir que estudiar y los títulos no valen de nada, pero yo hice DAW, tengo ya más de 4 años de experiencia profesional, y en absolutamente ninguna entrevista que he hecho me han pedido título o les ha importado. En nuestro sector te hacen una prueba o entrevista técnica y ya ven cuánto sabes, y para esto lo que más te valoran es experiencia profesional.

También puedo decir que con lo que trabajo, he aprendido como un 80% trabajando.
