I'm not saying Windows doesn't have issues. Just saying that I have a very different experience than the person I'm replying to :)
I have the opposite experience. For 15 years I've been installing windows on laptops and desktops. Never did I had to 'solve' driver issues. They were either easy to find, by clicking 'search in windows update' or were supported directly through windows itself. No need to solve anything...
The opposite was true for my few Linux (Ubuntu and Linux mint) adventures. Every time something would just not work. The most frustrating for me was the broken sleep function. There was no way to get my laptop to sleep properly. It would wake up at random times or just not boot anymore thereafter.
Just saying that these kind of things really depend on what you work with and what you want to get out of a system
A nice. I have golden hour+, which sounds similar, but I guess it's more focussed on the golden hour
Clear thanks. I was not aware that F1 TV offered the old races, I'll need to ask a friend for access :)
Ah that is good to know! Thanks, I really appreciate the tips!
I like your suggestion! I have a Proxmox server running. I'm I right to understand that rclone or duplicati take care of the file encryption? This would mean no easy way to access files in your backup, but I don't see that as a problem
I'm running it on my NAS. I would like a non local backup of my files.
Encrypting the files not really an option for me. I backup the photos but simultaneously they are used in PhotoPrism for collection, meta data changes, etc. Or I need to think about adopting another workflow...
Thanks for your view. Not sure how other providers take care of file encryption, but in the way I want to use it encrypting the files myself is not an option.
Thanks, should have looked there of course, but I'm interested in personal experiences as well.
Thanks for the suggestion! I have protonmail (paid) and I think I have 500GB storage space currently. Unfortunately that is insufficient space, because I'm going towards the 1TB. I'll have a look at the other plans, perhaps they offer more space :)
I'm looking for a paid cloud storage provider (like google drive, but not google drive) which is privacy minded, so with features like e2e encryption. I've been using Jottacloud to backup my large collection of photos. Jottacloud has been satisfactory, but I've heard other users complain of incomplete backups, where certain files are just missing. That makes me a little bit nervous, so I'm looking for something else. Does anyone of you know a good provider?
Sure go ahead! I was always interested in the technical side which made me pursue the route with adapters and different types of lenses. I hope you find what makes you happy :)
I started out with an entree level DSLR camera from Canon. I choose Canon because there are so many cheap lenses available, second hand but also from third parties, like Tamron, Sigma and Rokinon. I just tried different lenses, but also things like a reversal ring or extension tube, m42 adapter, polarizer filters and many other things. That is how I rolled into astro photography, whereas nowadays I'm more into bird photography. My advice, just play around and experience what you like the best. Expensive gear is oftentimes not the answer.
I make photo albums of a selection of all the photos I take and then show it to anyone who wants to see it. During holidays I also take video, and then combine those clips with photos into a home video. I have printed some photos to hang on the wall, so my home is filled with my own photos. I have some as desktop wallpaper. Lately, I make theme photo albums. I have one with all the different birds I have photographed and one with all my prettiest photos.
