Running ComfyUI in Docker on Windows or Linux

Every time I mention running ComfyUI in a Docker container on social media, I inevitably get a bunch of people asking me how I do it. There’s no official ComfyUI image, and Docker isn’t even mentioned on the ComfyUI GitHub page. So, here you go… Basically, I roll my own ComfyUI container. On creation, it…

jaWordPressHacks – Fixing bad productivity in WordPress

WordPress used to be wonderful. Sure, it was fairly basic, but it allowed for a lot of customisation, allowing you to really make it your own. This was particularly true when it came to the post editor. Then Gutenberg came. That was the beginning of bad WordPress decisions. Ok, so, Gutenberg isn’t quite as bad…

Rebuilding the home network with 300+ new ports

This post is mostly a brain dump to remind me what my line of thinking was when I revisit this topic a year or two from now. You’ll find that I post these now and again. Writing things out helps me make sense of them and spot things I might have missed. Anyway… Networking. My…

Calibrating an iPad Display!

So, this is interesting, and while datacolor have had a Spyder option for a while, its calibration is limited to its own software (unless it’s changed since I last took a proper look at it). This new offering from X-Rite, released in March, looks rather good, though, and it seems it has an API that…

Turn off Facebook’s Auto-Playing Videos

It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s a step in the right direction. Lifehacker recently posted a way to turn these off, but at the moment Facebook only really allows you to do it on the desktop. We can turn it off for Android and iOS devices, but only if they’re using GPRS/3G/4G (ie, not WiFi),…

Work Hard or Work Smart?

This post is the consequence of a conversation I had yesterday evening with my sister, chatting to her about the upcoming South Lakes Interclub Photography Competition, and how the whole thing works. But it is also kind of the point I was attempting to make on my previous post about fixing things in Photoshop that you…

Moving Linux to Smaller SD Cards

SD cards are pretty cheap these days, but that doesn’t mean we should let our smaller ones go to waste, especially when a system doesn’t fully utilise the space of a larger one that could be more useful elsewhere. So, what can we do?

Eye-Fi on Linux Part 2

When the Eye-Fi works so well with the iPad, why would I want to seemingly make life more complicated for myself by adding more hardware into the mix? Well, transferring to a Linux based machine like the CubieTruck offers me some advantages over the iPad. Some of them I alluded to in my previous post…

VirtualBox vs. Dedicated Linux System

I mentioned in an earlier post that I’d write a little bit more about my decision to run Debian through VirtualBox on a Windows machine. So, here we are. This post is more of a ramble than anything else. There’s no real substance here (and feel free to agree or disagree with that), I’m just…

Eye-Fi on Linux

My current WiFi situation on Location works for me at the moment. As I shoot, a couple of seconds after hitting the shutter, the images come up on my iPad screen.  I can immediately see which images have hit their focus and are nice and sharp without unwanted motion blur. I can get a better…
