You won’t see your darktable edits in digikam unless you export a jpeg of your edit. Digikam can’t run darktable’s processing pipeline to show you that edit.

My workflow is as follows:

1. Script that uses exiftool copies and renames all images from SD Card to my local disk in format YYYY-MM-DD
2. Add all images to git-annex
3. Retrieve GPS logs from phone and copy the GPX file into the correct date folder.
4. Add GPX file to git (not git annex)
5. Open Geeqie and look thru new pictures. Press D key to open an image in darktable if I want to edit it.
6. Once all images culled in geeqie, move over to darktable. Edit and tag. apply geolocation using the gpx file. Export when the edits are finished.

I already know, but I also hate the “wow this shit we have sucks why isn’t it better god someone please donate their skill to improve this thing I consume for free already and also show up to complain about while doing nothing”

Waiting on your obviously so skilled patches to make it happen.

Yeah, guix started as a nix fork with scheme, we all dancing at the same party.

But sandisk never had these problems until they were a WD brand.

If you’re not eating fried chicken while playing dark souls and enjoying both… Then I don’t even know what to tell you.

I mean… You liked dark souls, right?

Once nix clicks, you’ll know the massive missed potential that ansible is (being just another abstraction layer, and not baked into the package manager itself) and you’ll never look at ansible the same way again.

Listen. The more painful it is up front, the better you’ll feel once you get it.

Hello? Its me, NixOS.

So one time is your maximum for a company blatantly misdirecting you? Or maybe you’ll still be a customer if they do something like that again?

Oh wait: https://petapixel.com/2023/11/14/sandisk-refutes-claim-that-faulty-hardware-is-to-blame-for-ssd-failures/

Western Digital, among other things, has been selling SMR drives using CMR SKUs. So if you’re building something and wanted specific performance, and selected some WD drives based on what the SKU says, you might end up with SMR drives, which are not nearly as performnt. It was a bate and switch tactic and they never really acknowledged it except for making the “red pro” line of drives, which are CMR. Regular “red” drives are SMR now.

WD is a shit company doing shit things, so Seagate. They are less shit, for now.

They look like these https://mechkeys.com/products/winmix-gentleman-black-sa-cherry-keycaps-set?variant=43535603859679
