  • We need more details to recommended something to meet your needs.

    1. What are you photographing? Is it a large object/scene, or a smaller object/scene?
    2. How many hours on end do you expect the flash to run?
    3. How much light do you need the flash to output? A lot? A little? Is this light meant to be the main light for the photo or is it supplemental?

    Running a flash for hours on end flashing 1-2 times per second can quickly overheat a flash, which can lead to problems. The lower the flash output, the better it will handle that heat and the longer it will be able to run.

    But with that being said, depending on how many hours and how much light you need you might be better off with ac powered LED light panels instead of a flash.











  • DOWN:

    I’m currently fighting with my OliveTin config file. I added a simple new config for a button action and ylthe whole thing just shit the bed. Now OliveTin won’t load at all. Even after removing the new config. Stupid yaml.

    UP:

    After reading the Jellyfin docs and their Hardware Encoder Quality section which states

    Apple ≥ Intel ≥ Nvidia >>> AMD*

    I decided to spin up a test server on the m1 mini that’s been sitting unused in my basement for a couple of months now to see if I can get better performance out of jellyfin on the m1 vs where it’s running currently, which is on an i7 Intel that’s going on 10ish years old now.

    I also spun up baserow and directus containers to see which one I want to use for my database needs.



  • if you’re the sole user, why do you need a cloud-based collaborative environment?

    This is a terrible question/implication in the article. Nextcloud is more than just a cloud based collaborative environment.

    Nextcloud is an open source replacement for a huge swath of things people rely on, many of which come from Google. To list a few things it can replace:

    • Google Drive(or Dropbox, etc): cross platform cloud storage to access your files from any device
    • Google Photos: auto upload your phone photos to back them up and make them accessible outside of your phone
    • Google Docs (office 365): an office suite accessible in a browser from any device for editing, accessing and sharing your documents
    • Google calendar
    • Contacts
    • Tasks/to dos

    Nextcloud can do even more than I’ve listed here. Hackaday isn’t doing anyone any favors by implying the only thing Nextcloud is good for is cloud based collaboration
