Hey there, hi there, ho there!

I've got a question for all the people showcasing these beautiful dashboards. Did you all build them from scratch using the various community plug-ins? Or did you use a pre-built layout, like LifeOS or Obsibrain, and then customize from their?

My goal is to use Obsidian as a Zettlekasten, Project Management tool, Habit Tracker, Planner, and Workout Tracker amongst other things. Is it better to just build all this from scratch? If so, where did y'all learn to do this?

Hello All,

After switching to Linux just over 2 months ago, a consistent point of friction I'm having is how secondary storage locations are handled.

1. what do I need to do so my secondary HDD are accessible upon start-up without requiring me to enter my password? Is this issue rooted in the permissions of the drive? Where should I look to learn how to address this issue?

2. Some programs, such as HueForge & DaVinci Resolve, can not access my secondary HDD period. They do not show up as available storage options when looking for files not on my main SSD Boot drive. How do I fix this? Again, is it permissions based?

I have started to learn the basics of the CLI and terminal. Haven't had the time to learn it throughly yet.

Thank you in advance

Hello y'all, I'm in need of some help/advice in regards to create dimensional accurate 3D Scans with polycam; or just photogrammetry software in general.

My first dabble with the software did not go well. I tried scanning a coolant resevoir for a motorcycle. While the shape of the coolant reservoir is correct, it didnt pick up the small details. Like the mounting holes or the threads for the coolant cap. Admittedly, my set up was shit. I tried suspending it from a wire in the garage and walking around the part while taking pictures.

How can improve the work flow to get a dimensional accurate part ? One thing I will be adding is an object of known size to appropriately scale the part in the software. In addition to that, should I keep the phone stationary and move the part? Or make a better rig to hold the part and add additional lighting? What settings should I have my phones camer at?

Ultimately, I want to create a workflow that allows me to 3d scan damaged parts for cars, motorcycles, or just everyday items. Then upload it to a CAD Modeling Software. Tweak it as needed before printing out a replacement part. If this is beyond Polycam's capabilities, I'm open to other suggestions.

Btw, I am using a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for this.
