That will work as long as EF lenses are still available.... But Canon already took some lenses out of production.

So basically, that's gonna be a dead end path.

As a current Canon photographer (700D owner) going mirrorless is definitely the future. Canon and Nikon have basically given up on DSLRs. (https://www.engadget.com/why-nikon-and-canon-have-given-up-on-dsl-rs-133042286.html).

However, I want to highly stress out to avoid Canon for mirrorless. The reason behind it is that Canon has been "defending" their mirrorless mount relentlessly. Meaning, that no other 3rd parties without Canon's blessing can make lenses for the RF mount. (Source: https://petapixel.com/2022/09/06/canon-confirms-its-going-after-lens-makers-for-patent-infringement/)

So unless you wanna spend big bucks on Canon approved lenses, I'd go with either Nikon, Sony or one of the other mirrorless brands.

Fun fact, Sony is actually quite permissive in the licensing of their E mount. So they will basically let everyone make lenses for the E-mount.

Debian Woody > Red Hat 7.0 > Slackware 9.0 > Slackware 10 > Debian > Ubuntu > Mac OS > Ubuntu > Arch.

At least for desktops and laptops.

For servers I'm still primarily running Debian (and one instance I'm running Arch).

The reason why I settled on Arch is primarily because the combination of bleeding edge and being stable enough for daily driving it. The AUR also adds sooo much, that there is nothing I really don't need to manually install anymore.

For servers, I basically want a rock stable system. Hence why I've chosen Debian Stable.

For all the oldies in the room, Lindows / Linspire (me included)

Trying to merge Wine with Linux into one ""convenient"" package was overselling it at best and worst a lie. Back in '08 / '09 I tried to run it, just to see how good (or bad) it was. It was basically Debian with KDE and their special sauce on top to ""easily"" run Windows binaries. Especially in those day, WINE wasn't as good as it is today. I think you can fill in the rest ;-)

I wish I could give you more upvotes because you deserve all the upvotes

I've tested it with the jellyfish test files, IIRC it can easily transcode the 120Mbits per second 4k video to 1080p!

I have an A380 running in my home server which runs Arch Linux with kernel version 6.4.6. I've had the card since since October 2022, so I've seen my share of "issues" with it, especially because my Jellyfin server runs inside of Docker and thus adds additional layer of complexity / things that can go wrong.

Having said that, for $120, BUY IT. It's seriously one of the better cards are out there at that price. Previously I had an RX 550 (for which I paid about €75) and the A380 runs circles around my old RX550.

When I initially got it, I had some issues with is. Not surprising, early adopter and all. But the drivers are pretty rock stable nowadays and new features are being added constantly. The latest release of the Intel Media Driver added support for encoding HEVC 422 and improved performance for HDR tone mapping.

With regards to maximum streams, I am currently able to get a transcoding limit of 4 streams from H265 10bit (1080p) to H264 and still have some horsepower left over.

It's even so stable and pleasant to use, I am genuinely considering getting an A750 for my desktop.

Edit: typing hard yo.

You mean something like RCS?

I went to their London concert, last year. That was also absolutely awesome! 🎉

This takes me back to the last SCANDAL concert, I've been too.

So thank you 😍

Als iemand die echt een hekel heeft aan de auto dominerende samenleving, ben ik hier echt wel een voorstander van. Voornamelijk omdat het een eerlijker systeem is dan 1 tarief op basis van gewicht van de auto.

De groot gebruiker van de auto (dus de mensen die meer kilometers maken) moeten daardoor meer betalen en dat lijkt mij ook niet meer dan logisch. Het enige waar we wel voor moeten waken is dat de mensen met een laag inkomen, die wel afhankelijk zijn van de auto (bijvoorbeeld mensen in ploegendienst, de nachtzuster, etc. etc.) dat we die niet nog verder de shit in trappen.

Wat mij hier wel aan stoort, is mensen die dan ineens zeggen "Oh, dan kan ik ineens een tweede (of derde) auto erbij nemen" omdat het ineens haalbaar is en compleet de milieu impact daarvan negeren.

Daarnaast zou ik het wel een mooie toevoeging vinden, dat de meer belastende auto's (auto's met een hogere CO2 uitstoot, denk aan SUVs bijvoorbeeld) meer per kilometer gaan betalen dan de spreekwoordelijke Toyota Aygo. Al is het maar om de vervuilendere auto's van het straatbeeld te laten verdwijnen.

Ook zoals al eerder gesteld is, moet de prijs van het OV echt naar beneden.

 
 

A genuine classic if you ask me 😉
