Houston Mayor John Whitmire says, “The rats are the only ones enjoying it.”

Oh sure the rats ate your homework

Can we call it DGE since 'of' isn't normally included in acronyms, for example DMV and not DOMV

I like full frame sensor so I bought the cheapest full frame camera and decent lenses then later upgraded to a newer camera that used the same mount. I ended up selling everything I had that was canon when I switched to Sony mirrorless. I got a nice 50mm prime lens and that's it so far, I ended up getting an adapter to use my nikon film lenses with it but the pictures don't look as nice as the sony 50mm and no autofocus on the nikon lenses.

I think picking a lenses mount might be a good starting point. When I was shooting Canon I was able to use my full frame lens on my digital 6d and also the Canon film A2 so it was a really nice setup

yeah Im using digikam right now mainly as a lightroom replacement, but the editing on there isnt really robust but for rotating, cropping and converting to jpg to share it has a neat batch edit feature for that

so when you edit in rawtherapee, if you go to edit it again later on all the changes are still there because of the sidecar file? do you have to manually hit save for that?

the issue I ran into when going from lightroom to darktable originally was that darktable doesnt support video, so I used rapid photo downloader to copy everything into folders by file extension then dates, thats when I hit the issue of rapid photo downloader not taking some of my images for some reason, then it was a mess trying to figure out what copied and what didnt, Im still working through that now. digiKam seems to support video so if I would have started with that I probably could have just imported my whole lightroom library in one go, or if I was smart I would have done it in a few batches and verified my backups before hand

Ive used keh, ebay, and bhphoto. depends what Im trying to get and where I can find it, for example I got a 400mm old nikon film lens for cheap on bhphoto. but when I was selling my old canon gear the auction was pretty low on ebay so I imagine that would be a great way to get started with full frame digital. I wish I would have kept the camera and had it converted to infrared if I had known it was going to sell for so low, a bit after I sold it my old nikon I got off a friend and had converted to infrared died

Ah that explains a lot, i had added a mastodon account to pixeldroid app so I thought it was the same thing as login with mastodon but after trying it some more todag I see the limitations of using a mastodon account as a pixelfed, more like just a bunch of mastodon posts showing up that don't load right

Hello I am looking to self host my own pixelfed account just because I like self hosting and like sharing pics.

I saw there is a sign in with mastodon option on the pixelfed site and was curious if I host a mastodon instance instead, could I then use pixelfed with the same account?

I have a lemmy, mastodon, and pixelfed account right now and from doing a few experiments it seems mastodon has the best federation with both pixelfed and lemmy as far as commenting back and forth so it would be pretty neat to use a mastodon instance if that is possible
