    Yes I saw that one, I also like the presence of aux lights so when it’s closed I get some lights that people can see. I was just wondering that if the optics are that small, maybe the throw wouldn’t be enough. I guess it’s fine. It would be quite a powerful flashlight.

    Did you go with or without dome for the 519A?

    The SC33 would be great, but tail switch. Not as useful for me because of the way I hold the flashlight while riding. It uses the XHP70.3 HI emitter, so I might get that type of performance in a D1K with this emitter. For the SC29, this is a great option, it checks a lot of boxes. Thanks!

    Yes, I’m looking for a light that I hold in hands. So I don’t think these form factor are the best for my use case. I want to aim it at the ground (I need to see holes and cracks in the road), but I also need to aim it at street signs or something I want to see in the woods for example.

    It happened a few times that my Thrunite battery was all spent before getting back home. But maybe it won’t happen with a 21700 though.

    A 21700 is fine for the weight. I won’t mind I’m fine going bigger than my Thrunite. The only thing about the SP36 is it uses 3x18650, which is quite hefty. It’s hard to hold on with the wrist guards. It’s doable, but if I can get a bit smaller light I can also just bring a few extra batteries if needed, it’s better imo.

    Thanks again for the suggestions though!

    Thanks for the suggestion! I didn’t know about this community, just subscribed. I might post there too later. I can’t find the W51 to do more research unfortunately. But I would prefer a 21700 battery since I would like to match the battery with another flashlight I have in mind for camping purpose.











  • Lack of knowledge isn’t dumb, it’s just lack of knowledge. You can’t know everything.

    I run 2 docker containers, named slightly differently (my setup is a bit more complicated within a stack though). Then I map a different port for the FR one so it doesn’t conflict. Of course, you need a different config volume. Then once the container is up, you can I link my FR sonarr to my EN one. So when I request something on my EN Sonarr, it also adds it to my FR Sonarr.

    I also do that with movies, but for HD and 4K instead. I manage multi-language differently.

    I’ll PM you for my source of French content.


  • I’ve been an on and off Linux user for a long time, but my main OS used to be Windows. I recently switched to Linux (Arch btw) and I love it.

    For my use cases, here is what I like about windows:

    • Office 365
    • Gaming
    • Onedrive
    • Just works
    • touch screen and touch pad
    • Hardware support
    • Autohotkey (can live without)
    • Software compatibility
    • VR
    • Parsec

    Here is what I like about Linux

    • Dynamic tiling window managers.
    • Customization, I can have my notifications on the top right, the way I like them.
    • Smooth as fuck: very fast!
    • Very clever solutions (looking into NixOS currently for example)
    • Terminal: fun to use and it’s fast!
    • Much more control over my system.

    The things I dislike about windows are mainly that it’s stupid slow compared to Linux and the growing presence of telemetry and ads (though I wasn’t that affected). Also, I can’t replace windows default shortcuts or some functionalities.

    What I dislike about Linux is that there is always something that doesn’t work properly. I currently have issues with DPMS. My laptop has trouble with the behavior if the touchpad, sometimes the gestures work, sometimes they don’t, it depends on its mood I guess. I tried Wayland, but with a nvidia card it has a lot of issues, I had to go back to X which sucks since I really prefer the way wayland works. I’m quite technical, but sometimes the solutions don’t really work.

    I read a few things in this thread that I disagree with though, namely:

    • You can launch apps from PowerShell (terminal)
    • You can have package managers, I used scoop, choco and winget. Every app that I use can be installed and updated with those, from PowerShell.
    • Pretty sure you can update your system from PowerShell, then you probably can make a script to update everything.
    • You can disable auto-updates and auto-reboot in Windows. I never had my computer reboot on me and it stays open 24/7. What I liked is auto-update, but no auto-reboot. I chose when to reboot, only had a notification which was disabled when I was playing a game.
    • There are options for launchers, the windows menu or powertoy run.
    • You can create shortcuts (similar to .desktop) and you can also make a bat script instead of a bash script.

    A lot of comments are about a knowledge deficit, not a capability deficit from Windows.
