Small notes on Linux, home servers and film photography. Mostly reminders to myself.
Third card died this year, so I finally moved logs to RAM and turned off swap on the card.
The short version: log2ram, noatime in fstab, and a weekly rsync of the important bits to the NAS. Write volume dropped from ~4 GB/day to a few hundred MB. Not glamorous, but the card has survived two months now.
Back to basics after a summer of pushing everything to 1600. Grain is calmer, shadows actually have detail.
D-76 stock, 7:30 at 20°C, agitation every minute. Scanned on the old V600 with a cheap holder. I keep forgetting how forgiving this film is when you don't fight it.
Plain Markdown files in a git repo beat every app I tried. Search is grep, sync is git pull.
Three years of notes, about 1,400 files. The only thing I miss is images inline, and a tiny static generator fixed that. This site is built the same way.
Swapped the stock 80 mm fan for a slower one and added a temperature-based curve. Same temps, half the noise.
