Hello there

I am starting to understand and discover local (like on my computer) LLM.

LMstudio make it easy for beginners.

There is something I can’t make works right : my laptop has a Nvidia T600 2Gb graphic card. Genuine Nvidia drivers works well on the OS and graphic applications (Linux Mint). But LMstudo can’t use it.

LLM models run fine but only on CPU.

I read somewhere about CUDA not being fully implemented on Linux, is it the limiting factor ? Anyone managed to offload some work to an Nvidia T600 on laptop?

Thanks

Hello there

I just developed two black and white film rolls. That was a painful experience, because of my bad choice of film:

👿 The Lucky SHD400 is too thin, curling on itself like crazy, slipping on the reel.

🫤 The Lomography earl grey 100 is a bit thicker, better catch on reel’s sides and locking ball.

I wish next rolls will be easier to feed on the reel, any advices ?

Until now nothing beats the Kikipan 320. But it’s not produced anymore.

Asking AI seems only to praise most expensive films, not sure if it is true or biased.

Also I tired asking on the mastodon and associated platform first with not much luck.

Hopefully lemmy is better suited for that kind of open question ?

Hi,

If you are looking for a VPS hosting service compatible with NetBSD amd64, dedirock.com makes it pretty easy :

• full virtio devices
• qemu vCPU (KVM
• custom iso file uploading
• boot from cdrom that actually works
• VNC remote access during installation phase

What can I say, it has been a long time since I hadn't toyed with NetBSD on a VPS. That was surprisingly easy.

No need to boot in rescue mode, overwrite the default Linux OS with a NetBSD bootstrap and tweaks dozen things. Nope, just boot, install, done.

Bonjour, tout est dans le titre, Korben à (encore) écrit un billet intéressant... Enjoy

Hello beginner photographers like me exploring black-and-white film developing…

I'm sharing the app I created to make my life easier and to follow the process properly when using the Bergger One monobath developer.

Hello there

I just received a TTArtisant 40mm macro for my Fuji XM-1, much needed to scan negatives.

The focus ring is slow and need quite some efforts to turn. Probably best for precision and not sliding out of focus.

But the mount has a quite a lot of play. It rotates following the focus ring adjustments, which, in turn, mess with the focus… It fit nicely flat on the body but this angular free play is annoying.

Anyway I need a macro lens, and can’t afford $600 for a genuine Fujinon X mount Lens…

Does anyone also have TTArtisan manual focus lenses ? How does they fit ?

I am tempted to send it back, can’t decide. Any advices ?

Bye

[Edit] new lens came in, with exact same angular play. I guess it's my life now, I shall keep it.

[Edit] thanks for all replies, the lens is sent back.

On en est là ? fin 2025 tout va si bien en France qu'on doit absolument s'occuper de remplir un formulaire, fournir des photos et payer une taxe pour les hamsters, les petits oiseaux et autres NACs... 🙃

Hello there,

I just watched this episode on Karin Majoka’s YouTube channel, I think you may appreciate it too.

Dedication of the Kamerastore crew is amazing.

I don’t know how she keep being so calm in there, I would disappear for a month in this store and open every box and folder 🤩
