If you do end up trying it, let me know if you run into the issue of the UI constantly "refreshing" while editing and ruining your changes. I'm not sure how widespread the issue is.

You could check out expander card. I use it for a weather section on my dashboard.

Editing the card is really buggy for me and I'm not sure the project is still open, given the note at the bottom about the issue tracker... but after it's configured, the card has been very solid.

I like the expanding room cards. Can you share how you're accomplishing that?

My first attempt at focus stacking. Vanadinite on matrix in c/photography@lemmy.world

I took them using remote shutter through WiFi+phone app. The tripod comment was more to be able to frame and get better angles.

It was so much easier than I expected it to be. Essentially automatic. If you try it out, I'd love to see your results.

Thanks!

The vanadinite (red) was 26 photos and the fluorite (green) was 50

I used the focus bracketing mode on my camera. I specify the number of shots to take and how much the focus changes between shots. One shutter press and my camera automatically takes all of the photos and adjusts the focus for me.

And this setup I only put my camera and the rock on a table next to a window. I still need to buy a tripod, but it's hard to justify spending more soon after buying a camera...

Yeah, OM Workspace is the editor you get with Olympus/OM System cameras. Admittedly, I didn't use it very much, but I get the sense it isn't top tier. I'm just so thankful that there are great open source options.

I also love focus snacking

I was very surprised. I searched for a free focus stacking application multiple times with few results and lots of recommendations for paid software. With how little chimpstackr is recommended, I expected poor results, but it did noticeably better than Olympus's own raw editing software.

This was mainly a test of the software for me, but the result came out so much better than I expected. Raw editing in darktable and focused stacked using ChimpStackr, two amazing foss pieces of software.

How is it not suitable for larger homes?

[Feature Request] Mark read on scroll in c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

This is a must have for me or I simply don't use the app. An important detail though: it should only mark posts as read if I've scrolled past them! Not any post that can be seen on the screen.

[BUG] Have to open photos twice to see them (lemm.ee)
 

I updated to V23.09.13-09:43 (92) this morning. I use list view. On all picture posts, I click the thumbnail to open them and get a black screen. I tap to close and open the pic again and it displays normally.

I've tried going into the app settings to force stop and clear the cache and it did not help.

I'm a beginner and want to use Proxmox. What should I use to make a USB hard drive accessible to other devices on my network? (lemm.ee)

I have a mini-PC running windows. On that, I run home assistant in virtualbox, have plex installed, and a cheap USB harddrive plugged in to keep my plex media. I've turned on sharing for a folder in this drive so other devices on my network can access it.

I've watched some videos and read some tutorials. I have a pretty good idea on how I'm going to run HA and Plex, but I'm unsure about turning my USB drive into something the rest of my devices can access as well as something Plex can directly access too.

What would you recommend as the most beginner friendly, easy way to accomplish this? I keep seeing TrueNAS pop up, but I'm not convinced this isn't way overkill for what I want to do. So what would you recommend I look at to start out? The amount of information and things I don't know yet is a little overwhelming.

After I get more familiar with the system, I'm totally happy to branch out and try more advanced things that most people prefer, but that's down the road for me now.

Edit: to be clear, I'm planning on completely ditching windows and setting everything back up in proxmox

How do I disable autoplay of the next video in playlists? (lemm.ee)
 

I never want the next video to automatically play. Videos in playlists specifically automatically go to the next and I cannot find a way to disable this.

Non-playlist videos have an autoplay toggle at the top I can turn off. Videos in playlists don't.

Help finding a replacement for these dimmer+fan wall switches? (lemm.ee)
 

I'm in the US. My wife and I are moving into a new-build community in Feb. next year and they are using these wall controls for the rooms with lights and a fan.

I'm having a little trouble finding a home assistant compatible replacement. The 1-gang width probably limits my options severely. I'm open to converting these to 2-gang, so I'm open to 2-gang devices as well.

Zigbee is is my preference, then WiFi (local only), and I'm not interested in z-wave.

Can we make the recent change on hidden posts a toggle or revert to beta 33? (lemm.ee)
 

The recent change today that makes hidden posts permanent after a page refresh instead of temporary has seriously bugged the way I browse Lemmy.

Now if I have too many posts hidden, my front page won't even load. I'd really prefer the choice to hide posts I've seen/scrolled past. Can we at least get a toggle to enable the old functionality?
