Try https://www.aorus.com/monitors/AORUS-FO48U/Key-Features - yes, it's a bit too small for you.

And that's a good wake-up call. The next thing "escaping" might be a sufficiently advanced model in a country already historically involved in manual cyberattacks.

RapidRaw is too much AI-focused, with the typical drawback that you cannot tell the AI that it is wrong. You want to remove something from the photo by inpainting something else over it, and the only way to do it in RapidRaw is to brush ove

Even though I am not a Debian project member, let me express my dissatisfaction with Proposal A. The proposed addition to the Social Contract (i.e., the LLM contribution ban), by itself, is well-worded and acceptable, but the rationale quot

I was one of those initiators of a rewrite. And I was facing a real problem: the codebase was in C, all C developers except me left, I was going to leave too, and both our HR department and an external consulting firm failed to find a compe

I do have a DNS server in my LAN, with some records served to internal clients only. But the _acme-challenge record needs to be public for the DNS-01 validation to succeed. The point was that you can obtain a certificate for a domain name w

My preferred procedure is to use DNS-01 validation and have no publicly accessible "A" or "AAAA" record for internal services. Or even a more extreme example: https://crt.sh/?id=27555237869 (sorry for an

I am not a lawyer, but, as a Russian citizen, let me warn you. The very fact that your comment criticizing the EU regime, that you yourself admit could send you to jail, is online and not deleted by Thursday, makes it a "lasting crime&

And the worst part is, I have seen computer repair shops that refuse to work with a laptop if it has an encrypted system drive, under the guise of "how would we then validate the fix?"

Yes. Darktable courses go as far as saying "ignore all modules and sliders not mentioned in this course" - which of course works until you get an assignment that is best solved with one of the non-reviewed modules or sliders, and

I think you missed the point. Darktable, effectively, has a parametric curve (implemented by the tone mapper) at the end of its processing chain. And this "curve" will, by default, compress contrast at the bright end in a way unde

I have a different problem with Lightroom being an industrial standard. If you avoid Lightroom, you cannot find a photography teacher. You can find a Darktable teacher, and I did. He is a professional photographer, but I disagree with that

Darktable 5.6 will have AI masks. Anyway, I tried them, and found that, after you master the "a few rough brush strokes + adjust feathering and mask opacity until it snaps" and "overzealous brush + parametric mask" techn

I confirm the same experience. I tried to port the Dynamic Range Optimization code in OpenCamera from Java to mathematical formulas (i.e., the spec), with the intention to translate that into Python with NumPy, so that I could run it on my

Using multi-level grayscale instead of just two pixel states, on and off, can produce readable text at even smaller font sizes. The catch is that I have to say "text", not "letters", i.e., rely on humans inferring the to

To give DarkTable credit, neural-network-based denoising will be in the next major release (5.6). And even without neural networks, DarkTable denoising is better than open-source competitors, due to the database of camera sensor noise shipp

The thing is, 127.0.0.53 is a fallback. The real default upstream is nss_resolve, which talks to systemd-resolved via non-DNS protocol on a UNIX-domain socket. Ubuntu disabled this in favor of the less-featured fallback. If you insist on sn

And even a mobile app (or, in fact, any single-person 2FA) would be unnecessary if we had a requirement for another live person to approve the release. As a bonus, a two-maintainers-required setup would also improve resilience against one o

Exactly. "Doing it this way would prevent us from also doing X in the future; are we sure to permanently cross X from the roadmap, and are stakeholders aware?" is a valid and valuable objection. EDIT: and it can be trivially shot

The problem here is that a digest derived from the schema would just reintroduce the possibility of confusion of identically encoded but semantically distinct types.

And that's not useful at all. I asked for a long-zoom (250 mm) compact camera and only got 45 mm.
