I'm not a better man but I would say no one will ever find out. I bet there is more to this than what is being let out.

Lot worse than that, they're finding more exploits as of today. Good luck.

Off topic: At one point it was 150k, unfortunately this was at a time before I learned about backing up. Lost from 2006 to 2007 due to a spin disk failure. Roughly 50k photos of scans and digital taken.

Anyway, if you know of VAV VGX then welcome thus the three hands remark.

Understood. No need to be rude about it. I will ensure that all my post when I try and relate are marked accordingly. VAV VGX.

Here are some of my prompts. https://old.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1xb59yw/fi...

I use the Portable version of ComfyUI, most are done with Qwen Image 2.1 and some hard restores using FIBO2. You can find a bunch of video tutorials on YT for both models.

Oh yeah, I'm not going to lie, once I started using ComfyUI with FIBO2 and Qwen Image 2.1 to restore my photographs, I was hook! I have 25+ years of digital and film photos that I've been restoring due to my older camera/lens quality. The addiction of restoring these older photos and then processing them once again in either Lightroom or Photoshop. I caught myself spending countless hours revisiting the past and restoring it to what I remember. I love making sure it is perfect to what I last recall it to be. There is no going back for me, these diffusion models are bring live to forgotten images and for that I'm thankful.

ComfyUI with either FIBO2 or Qwen Image 2.1 can do wonders for denoising. You can refine sharpness as well as make the image RAW quality for editing. My 3060 can do a 2k image in 40 seconds. Then process through Lightroom and Photoshop.

These 2 diffusion models are amazing.

Since Qwen Image Edit 2509 camera out, I was able to restore some of my earlier photographs that my camera at the time just failed to produce what I envisioned. Due to poor sensor and quality glass. To this day I still after 25 years shoot on a Canon 20D and 5D with old Japanese Asahi Takumar SMC lenses(M42 to EOS), which is all I can afford. I have over 100,000+ photographs that I have slowly started to restore thanks to these diffusion models. And now that FIBO2 and Qwen Image 2.1 are out, OMG! I can restore images I've spent hours on to restore in seconds! I still run them through Lightroom and Photoshop. They are comparable to a high-end digital camera. I'll never stop using them and can keep using my same old glass for years to come. I don't care what anyone says, they are an expression of what I see as a photographer and artist.

I've also started using Flux.3 Klein for extra added details. Local diffusion models are so great.

Oh man, I love using AI to retouch my photographs. I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark I (OG), which has a faulty sensor. Since I can’t afford an upgrade, I rely on vintage glass: Pentax SMC 50mm and 35mm lenses adapted from M42 to EOS. With FIBO2 and Qwen Image 2.1, I can transform my raw shots so they look as though they were captured with a high-end digital camera. I then pass them through Lightroom for fine adjustments, add some Photoshop magic, and bam—the result is exactly what I want. I’ve been photographing as a hobby for a little over 25 years now.

Going forward, I’ll be using local diffusion models exclusively, and I couldn’t care less what others think. This workflow suits me perfectly, and I genuinely enjoy the process. I have over 100,000 digital and film photos I've slowly been processing using this method - I have restored photos I tried to restore the older ways without success. I'm so grateful for these local models.

I just copied and pasted it, can't do markdown.

Neat. I wonder if you could use the air it generates by having directional ports louvers that open and allow the air to flow for more control. Would need 2 more servo, left/right port louvers.

I've stopped using the browser and have my Pi/LocalLLM(Qwen3.8) do my searching for me. Made a nice interface that will display top results.

No need to pay for a thing, except electricity, which that is the next step, solar powered LLM server.

Yeah no, something is very off on this and I cannot put my finger on it, the video looks odd to me. I want to say AIgen feel, but I only saw little tiny vids, rest were blurry as sin.
