Thank you! :]

Finally bit the bullet and got a Thinkpad and I’m leaning towards putting Fedora on it. I’ve never used Linux before but I’ve done some research and I like the idea of something that updates more often than Debian but isn’t as DIY as Arch. Do y’all think Fedora would make a good starting point? I hear it’s stable enough and offers enough non-free applications through the RPM file management system.

Also, are there any drawbacks in using the immutable Silverblue version? I’m considering it just so I don’t do anything dumb by accident.

Thank you! :D

This. Physical media is awesome to own, and ripping extremely high-quality copies is actually pretty easy, just time-consuming.

I recommend EAC (Exact Audio Copy). It’s free and there are some awesome guides online for setting it to get the best quality for your rips.

That’s awesome! Now how can I add it to Libreoffice?

For the longest time I just didn’t consider tint. I figured that was something only for the light snobs to worry about. And then I became one od those snobs xD

Can you share a pic? :0

To be honest, I really like the form factor on the Baton series lights. The UI on their lights is dummy simple, and I don’t even mind their proprietary charging methode too much. I just really can’t stand their choice of LEDs.

I like the i3t as a bright little pocket light, I keep one in a pouch just befause it’s 'ol reliable and I don’t care if she gets scuffed up. The UI on it is fair enough, two modes is easy to use, and I think the momentart on is useful for easily switching to high mode.

Olight is very green in real life

Seeing as a new one goes on Amazon for $50 where I am, I’d sell it for $35. Has all the accessories in the box, but it does have some light wear. Here are some pictures for more detail.

It didn’t matter to me until I got a couple lights with really good tint. Still, I do believe Olight has the best build quality for their price and their support team is awesome, they’ve helped me out when a light was faulty.

It does have flashing pads!

It is pretty long for a 16340, I liken that to the deep reflector. I think I’ve seen some folks mod it with a TIR for more throw though! I’m not sure where to get a flashing kit though, I’ve never flashed anything.

D3AA is really hard to beat, especially when you can get a good 14500 like the Vapcell H10. Brilliant light with much better resolution in the stepless dimming. Also, you can use voltage check to get 3 digits of info instead of the usual two. Just checked after a charge and my D3AA flashed out 4.12 V

lol I meant to post this from this account, if you want to see more flashlight content I’ll be sharing it on Cornflake_Dog from now on

Beam from S1R Baton II. Very green tint with terribly washed-out colors.

Beam from Rovyvon A23 (Nichia 219C). Accurate colors, beautifully-neutral tint.

I’ve got a lot to get rid of, but I am at least going to keep that orange S1R Baton II because it’s the light that got me into the hobby. It was my first “real” flashlight, and I was super impressed with how bright such a tiny light could shine :)

That’s lovely! Do they grind up against each other in the Pelican cases? I’d probably end up getting a couple more cases and pick-and-pluck down for all of them

I feel like if it’s something to use on the road it would likely be pretty floody? Or perhaps a spot with a lot of spill.

That large pebble texturing is absolutely gorgeous, that has to be lovely to behold in person!
