We have a basic electric glass top range from 20ish years ago. I’ve always been disappointed in the stovetop performance for wok cooking. Are there newer or better models that can achieve a hotter temp than what we have?

I have two self-hosted instances that had been working well for many months. These are at remote locations and are primarily being used as convenient reverse proxies, not on a VPS. Out of nowhere one of them stopped working correctly. URLs weren’t being resolved. I also discovered that I can no longer log in. Pangolin is running, but when I enter my username and password, it just refreshes back to the log in screen. In the logs via SSH I see only:

making login request to: http://localhost:3000/api/v1/auth/login

If I enter the wrong user or password I get a prompt that it was incorrect.

I tried updating the misbehaving instance to 1.21 but no difference. Then I tried to login to the second instance at the other location and have the exact same log in loop, however that one is still serving resources correctly. I’ve tried clearing website data and private windows, etc. What could be causing this? These are on Docker inside Proxmox Debian LXC. Thanks!

I missed my chance to pick up a refurb Z6iii for $1511 because they sold out. Does Nikon offer these discounts on a regular basis?

This spring I opened my back hatch and a ton of water flooded down the sides of it and into the trunk area. I pulled up the cargo bin and spare tire and there was a pool of water down there that I removed with a wet/dry vacuum.

I’m not sure where this water is entering. The door seal seems to be in tact. Is it common for the window glass seal to fail? Any tips on how to pin point the leak?

Also, anyone tried an ozone generator to deal with smells? There’s a strong mildew smell now, even though I removed the moisture right away.

Thanks.

For organizing photos, it’s nice that images are all separated by date, but when sharing an album with friends, or possibly clients, the layout isn’t very graceful. Are there any options to present photos a little more artistically? I’m looking for a better galley view, such as how they are presented in Pixieset. Are there add-ons, or options I’m not seeing in the settings? Thanks

I’m looking to get some new flat-folding softboxes for location work and obviously the new Godox Easyflows are prime contenders. I was comparing them against others like SmallRig and SMDV/Glow, but they seem to be a lot heavier.

For example the 60cm Octa is 980g, vs 725g for the similar sized SmallRig and 680g for the Glow.

The 90cm is 1340g vs 900g for the SmallRig Now I wondering, is this accurate, or is the weight I’m seeing possibly including/not-including the Bowens speed ring?

I know hardly anyone has been able to use these yet, but I’m leaning toward the SmallRig versions at this point, just for the weight savings. Any thoughts?

I have a season photography job. I’ve always been a W2 employee for this company, for over a decade, and it’s a small amount of money (less than $1k annually). The last tax period, the company changed me to 1099-NEC status without telling me, and didn’t do any withholding. When I filed my taxes, I didn’t think that I’d need to claim this income as “self-employment” because this has always just been a job, where they set the schedule and I show up to work the hours.

Now the IRS is asking for an explanation/response or they will tax me as self-employed. What is the appropriate way to respond to this? Am I really on the hook for the full 15% in addition to the income tax? Thanks

Looking at both these lenses. $700 for 14-30, $1100 for the 14-24. Which deal would you jump on? I mainly shoot events, sports, lifestyle portraits, sometimes in rugged conditions. Worth the premium?

EDIT: Thanks y’all. I just needed a little group therapy to help me burn some more money. Going to go pick up this 14-24 now!

EDIT2: It had a moderate cosmetic ding near the control ring that didn’t affect performance. Glass was perfect, performance and sharpness was flawless. Compared to my old 17-35mm, I don’t find it overly heavy at all (and it’s no bigger than the 24-70). Walked away with it for a cool $1k. Very stoked. 😁🤙

Now that the Neewer QZ trigger claims to be fully compatible with Godox X-system flashes, it makes an interesting alternative to the X3/Pro, which has some ergonomic limitations (like the buttons and wheel on the right side, which makes no sense since you hold the camera with your right hand). It seems likely this trigger is actually manufactured by Godox. I’m wondering if anyone has tried it, and whether it has feature parity with the X3 Pro (besides Bluetooth app, which I know is missing). Thanks

I’ve just started to explore the new X5 trigger. I’m curious how it would work for guys like me who use two bodies, (one wide, one tele), as a trigger for off camera flashes. I understand a IT32 is required to program it. But what would happen with two X5s and a single IT32? If I make an adjustment to group A from the wide angle body, and then want to shoot from the tele body, would I need to plop to the IT32 onto that body first to update the X5 trigger to send the current values to group A?

Anyone using it like this have some feedback on the system? Thanks

I’m looking to pick up a flash trigger and the QZ look to be better than the Godox X3/Pro due to the front facing buttons. However, most of my strobes at this time are Godox (AD200, V1 Pro, 860iii). Does anyone know if the TCM feature works with these flashes, or only Neewer models? Thanks
