S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Patch 1.0.3 has arrived. Main and side missions fixes, input lag decrease, and other improvements. - sh.itjust.works

Hi everyone! Today I went on a walk in a park and had a lot of fun trying to find interesting angles and subjects to snap a pic with my phone. I really loved walking around “with the eye of a photographer” and wanted to hear your recommendations on what would be a good first buy geared towards my interests. While the pictures were satisfactory from my OnePlus 12, I am aware that they would never rival the quality of bigger sensors. I owned one DSLR back in the days but never got the interest of playing in the manual and semi-manual modes. My ideal camera would be one relatively simple to operate but offering good specs that would make computer touch-ups (cropping, colours, balance, etc) as I think that my interest will be on detecting good capture opportunities more than finding optimal camera settings. My guess is an entry level DSLR would be interesting to explore different lenses? The products will probably be computer wallpapers (4k HDR screens) and I would love to prioritize the crispiness/resolution. As I don’t plan to do more than play with it from time to time, I am looking in the sub 1.5k $ area (new or used) TL;DR: Looking for a worthwhile step-up from a cellphone to capture hires wallpapers of nature/sceneries. ±1500$ new/used.

Homelab upgrade - "Modern" alternatives to NFS, SSHFS? - sh.itjust.works

Hi all! I will soon acquire a pretty beefy unit compared to my current setup (3 node server with each 16C, 512G RAM and 32T Storage). Currently I run TrueNAS and Proxmox on bare metal and most of my storage is made available to apps via SSHFS or NFS. I recently started looking for “modern” distributed filesystems and found some interesting S3-like/compatible projects. To name a few: - MinIO - SeaweedFS - Garage - GlusterFS I like the idea of abstracting the filesystem to allow me to move data around, play with redundancy and balancing, etc. My most important services are: - Plex (Media management/sharing) - Stash (Like Plex 🙃) - Nextcloud - Caddy with Adguard Home and Unbound DNS - Most of the Arr suite - Git, Wiki, File/Link sharing services As you can see, a lot of download/streaming/torrenting of files accross services. Smaller services are on a Docker VM on Proxmox. Currently the setup is messy due to the organic evolution of my setup, but since I will upgrade on brand new metal, I was looking for suggestions on the pillars. So far, I am considering installing a Proxmox cluster with the 3 nodes and host VMs for the heavy stuff and a Docker VM. How do you see the file storage portion? Should I try a full/partial plunge info S3-compatible object storage? What architecture/tech would be interesting to experiment with? Or should I stick with tried-and-true, boring solutions like NFS Shares? Thank you for your suggestions!

I wonder how long I have been in there.. - sh.itjust.works
