![]() Settings for the Timer Remote Shutter Control We set our ISO to 400, Aperture was f/5.0 and Shutter Speed was 1 second long (may look like 1? on your camera). Put your camera in Manual mode and try the settings we used. We used this Pixel Timer Remote Control Shutter for Sony cameras last year. The key is to get the cable that is compatible with the camera brand you are using. If your camera has a Time Lapse camera setting for Fireworks, set it to that and DONE–pass Go and collect your $100! If it doesn’t, you are going to want to buy what is called a Timer Remote Shutter Control. But for Time Lapse, you need a tripod so it can stay in the same place and shoot the whole fireworks show while you get to sit back and relax. When taking a picture of a single firework, you can hold the camera yourself. We love the Joby tripods for versatility. It doesn’t have to be expensive, in fact, a cheaper tabletop tripod will work too. You will want a Tripod for doing Time Lapse. It adds more dimension to the overall story, and it’s a nice touch for visually leading into the fireworks. I LOVE how Brian started the Time Lapse thirty minutes before sunset. To avoid finger print smudges showing up on your images, take a quick second to clean the lens with a special cloth that won’t scratch your lens glass (aka, don’t use your t-shirt, Kleenex or a rag ). Clean Your LensĪside from the light of the fireworks, most of the image will be black. This can drain your battery, so make sure you charge them the night before so you are starting with a full battery on the 4th. Your camera will be taking photo after photo non-stop throughout the whole fireworks show. Charge Your Camera Batteries the Night Before You have to know HOW CRAZY EXCITED we are to show you this post! Brian set this all up last year, but we had to wait a WHOLE YEAR to show you our time lapse! LOL! The time has finally come! This photo and the time lapse were all done from my parents’ backyard! And thanks to Triple Scoop Music, we’ve even got some fun music to go with the Time Lapse video! 10 Simple Steps to Create a Time Lapse 1. There are a few steps involved to get the BEST time lapse possible. Many of your cameras have a time lapse setting that makes this super easy to try. I also love it when Brian does time lapse of the clouds moving across the sky. ![]() Time lapses are great for telling chronological stories like sunrise or sunset, moving out of your home, setting up a party, styled shoot or production. It’s basically taking several photos and then stitching them together to see them as a video. That post has been pinned THOUSANDS of TIMES, so I’m thinking that is one of our readers’ favorite!

![]() So, for name table 5:Īll of this goes for both platform 1 (Windows) and platform 3 (Mac). Also: only letters and one hyphen are allowed, and the hyphen must be between the two parts-no underscores, like you used. So for this, we can use "Agent" as the family name and the weight names for the style name. Other apps, can use more than two weights. The preceding entries are only used by simple Windows apps like Office. This is normally the family name + a hyphen + the style name. Name table entry 6 is the "PostScript Name". So, for name table entry 3, enter the same as name table 1: However, if the style is "Regular", then it's identical to entry 1. Usually, this is entry 1 combined with entry 2. Name table entry 2 for all four fonts will be "Regular". None of your fonts are italic, and we're not using bold (see above). The entries you have ("700", "_medium", "_thin", and "500") will not work. Name table entry 2 can only be one of four things: "Regular", "Italic", "Bold", or "Bold Italic". To avoid confusion, and to make it so that they all show up in Windows font menus, I would just skip the whole regular/bold thing and enter them under four different family names for name table entry 1: Not only that, none of your fonts is called either "Agent" or "Agent Regular". In your fonts, you've got four roman fonts with the same "Family Name", "Agent". Only two roman (non-italic) fonts can have the same "Family Name" for name table entry 1. Name table entry 1 is the "Family Name", name table 2 is the "Style Name". This all happens in name table entries 1 and 2.

Name ID 21 and 22 (WWS Family and WWS Style) can be used for other style variation than weight, width, slant (WWS), like if you want your Rounded, Angular, Caption, etc. ![]() The Name ID 16 and 17 (Preferred Family and Preferred Style) allow for more members in a family.Īnother set of names were added to the OpenType specs more recently. The main issue is grouping font families in groups of 4 for Name ID 1 and 2 (Family and Style) for the Windows platform. Weight = OT Name ID 2 (TTF Names: "Styles (Subfamily)") Name For Humans = OT Name ID 4 (TTF Names: "Fullname") "Family" is name ID 1, "Styles (Subfamily)" is name ID 2, "Preferred Family" is name ID 16, "Preferred Style" is name ID 17, etc as they are described in the specs. The TTF Names in FontForge are the OpenType specs’ name IDs from OpenType Specifications - The Naming table (see the Name IDs table). ![]() To make this game more exciting, one of the options should be more unlikely than the other.

She added that she has ‘always known there were sick people in the world that do these kinds of things’ and that she looks at social media in a ‘different to just be cereduk what you post of your kids- even if it seems innocent, disgusting scum of the earth people sell, save and get off to any kid content. ![]() I took the initiative to remove her photos before anything like Wren's situation could happen to my own daughter.’ ‘My duty as her mother is to protect her from things like this. ‘Wren's story brought a lot of light to all the sick people in the world, so I decided to remove my own daughter's photos from anyone who is not close family/close friends. Makayla Musick told Fox News Digital: ‘I just saw the posts on TikTok and was absolutely appalled by the story and had decided that I needed to protect my daughter. In light of the potentially unwanted attention on Wren, other parents have taken it upon themselves to delete photos of their children on public social media profiles. Popular searches for Wren’s videos include phrases like ‘Wren Eleanor hot dog’ or ‘pickle,' meaning users on TikTok and Google were searching for the three-year-old eating those foods. They also pointed out that a video of Wren eating a hotdog was saved nearly 350,000 times, and pointed to disturbing comments on the content. One user spotted that a video of the toddler wearing a cropped, orange shirt was saved more than 45,000 times. Others also expressed concerns about the safety of the toddler, saying that there are people who will 'abduct the child for sex trafficking.' TikToker Kelso, captioned her video talking about Wren ‘#SavetheChildren,' which has been viewed over 674,000 times.Ĭalahan Walsh, executive director of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children said that people who use social media platforms can be ‘drawn into a false sense of security.’ Jacquelyn and Wren, pictured Wren and Jacquelyn have 17.3million followers on their account with more than 560million likes, and are estimated to earn around $13,000 per post - but brand sponsorship deals vary on the company. The vigilante mothers have also claimed that Jacquelyn is deliberately ignoring concerns because she receives payment for advertisements with her daughter, which include brands like Shein and Khol’s. Now mothers have turned against the popular account, accusing Jacquelyn of knowingly exposing her daughter to pedophiles and predators, sharing videos with the tag #savewren and #protectthechildren. Jacquelyn deleted videos from her account that received the most backlash after concerns were pointed out to her. They expressed concerns about the safety of the toddler, saying that there are people who will 'abduct the child for sex trafficking' TikTok users have been quick to blame Jacquelyn for 'exploiting' her daughter by posting videos of her. Some mothers, however, warn the feature is being used as a catalogue for pedophiles to share images of children. TikTok allows users to save content that they like to their accounts. Jacquelyn began receiving an onslaught of abuse after online sleuths pointed out that videos of the three-year-old playing in the bath and holding tampons were being saved by hundreds of thousands of people. Her account features hundreds of seemingly innocent videos of the blonde toddler playing and enjoying days out with her mother and grandma, along with sponsored content. Wren, whose mom Jacquelyn has posted photos and videos of her on the social media site since she was born, has more than 17 million followers on the platform. The movement was sparked after the mothers spotted a worrying trend with TikTok’s ‘most popular’ three-year-old girl, Wren Eleanor. Parents of young toddlers are concerned with the amount of videos of the youngsters that are being saved by potential pedophiles online, and are now urging others to be more careful. Mothers on TikTok are removing pictures of their children after raising concerns about where the footage will end up – accusing one mom of allowing pedophiles to target her child.

With the smeltery you can now smelt obsidian without mining any actual obsidian. Check the Tinkers’ Construct Review link above for more info on smelting and casting tools. Now you can cast higher quality parts and replace the lower ones to further your tool’s leveling capabilities. The same works for copper heads using a copper ingot, iron head and iron ingot and so on. So if you have a damaged flint tool, place it in the station, add a piece of flint and the tool is repaired. This mod makes repairing very easy as you’ll simply need a tool station table and an ingot of whatever your tool head is made from. You will need to utilize the tool repair feature if you want to upgrade your tool parts and keep your tools in shape. You’ll start with flint and work your way up. This method works with pretty much all tools and weapons. You’ll be mining a lot of stone in the beginning but your skills should grow fast. You can really only craft flint tools early on since wooden tool heads are no longer craftable with Tinker Tweaks. So you have to start small with this modded mod. Also most of the vanilla tools are now disabled and you have to level your tools in order to progress in the game. So you’ll construct your tools as you normally would with Tinkers’ Construct but now you’ll have to work harder and expand your skills over time. Your tools now require you to level them up by using them and they will gain more abilities and modifiers as you do. It takes all the fun and tools from the mod and gives them a realistic leveling function. # If true, only the heads of tools are examined when determining how much XP it takes to level up.Iguana Tinker Tweaks is an add-on to The Tinkers’ Construct mod, previously reviewed here. # XP tooltip shows numbers, in addition to percentage Like a sword with silktouch, or a pickaxe with beheading. ![]() # Disables less-useful modifiers on levelups. # Gives a random bonus every level, if false and levelling is on modifiers are given at levels 2 and 4 (requires 'toolLeveling=true') # Adds an extra modifier on these levelups if 'ExtraModifiers' is enabled # The amount of modifiers new tools have. # Each modifier is equally likely on levelup. # Adds a random bonus on these levelups if 'RandomBonuses' is enabled # Leveling Module: Setup the leveling system how you like it # Leveling Module: Allows to completely deactivate specific modifiers on levelup. # Change the percentage of XP required to boost a pick (i.e. # Every Pickaxes Mining Level is reduced by 1 and needs a mining levelup (separate from tool level) or, if enabled, a mob head modifier to advance # Mob head boosting requires a free modifier # Pickaxes gain Mining Xp by using the pickaxe. # Mob heads can be used to boost a pickaxe's mining xp.

Step 3: Configure the VNC serverĮven though the VNC server Linux is running, it needs to know which commands to execute when it starts. ![]() Now we will need to configure the server to launch Xfce and provide access to the server via the graphical interface. Your VNC server has been installed and running successfully. The main thing to note here is that when working with VNC servers :X is a display port that refers to the 5900 + X. VNC can create multiple instances on other display ports with :3 referring to 5903, :4 referring to 5904, and so on. If you create a second instance with vncserver it will run on the next free port :2, which is 5902 (5900 +2). You can see this after the hostname (pay attention to the red box). It launches a default server instance on port 5901 (5900 +1), the display VNC port. Now let me go through the configuration file details. Once you go forward from this step, the system will create the server's default configuration file and connection information. Since you need to interact with the server, we will choose n. The reason is that users who log in with the view-only password will not be able to control the VNC instances with the keyboard and mouse. You will be prompted with “Would you like to enter a view-only password (y/n)?” Here enter n and press enter.Anything longer than eight characters will be shortened automatically. The required password must be between six and eight characters long. You will be prompted to add and verify a password to access the machine remotely. Note: Do not use the sudo command when running the vncserver command! To set the password, enter the following: Once the server is installed, you should add a VNC access password and create the initial configuration file.Sudo apt install tigervnc-standalone-server tigervnc-common You can install the TigerVNC server by entering the following command:.TigerVNC adds encryption for all supported operating systems and focuses on performance and remote display functionalities. Each server has its strengths and weaknesses however, for this tutorial, we will install TigerVNC as it is an actively maintained VNC server. To name a few, we have TightVNC viewer, TigerVNC viewer, and x11vnc. There are a different number of VNC server packages available in Ubuntu repositories. In this tutorial, the choice does not play a big role, so you can pick whichever one you prefer.ĭepending on your system, it may take a couple of minutes. The next step is to install the Xfce along with some enhancements for the desktop environment:ĭuring installation, you will be prompted to choose a default display manager.Once you connect to the server, you should first update your list of packages:.Since it is lightweight and fast, the connection will be smooth and stable even on slower internet connections. Our choice of DE will be the Xfce, as it is available from the official Ubuntu repository. To go forward with the installation process, we will install a desktop environment (DE) that is lightweight and ideal for a remote server. Step 1: Installing the desktop environmentĪs mentioned earlier, Ubuntu does not have a graphical desktop environment or a VNC server installed by default. You can use the built-in Screen Sharing program or any other cross-platform application on macOS.For Windows: TightVNC, RealVNC, TigerVNC or UltraVNC.A local computer with a VNC client installed:.An Ubuntu 18.04 server with a user with Sudo privileges (not root user).However, due to the installation of the GUI, the server will utilize more resources than the original version. Therefore we will first install a GUI before heading to the VNC server installation. Note: The Ubuntu server and Ubuntu cloud editions do not contain a graphical user interface (GUI). When you have access to a GUI of a server than the command line, it’s always much easier for developers who are not yet comfortable with the commands. The user will have complete access to operate a full desktop environment making it easier to manage files, software, and configuration settings on the server. With VNC, you can interact with a remote server using your keyboard and mouse. VNC, or Virtual Network Computing, is a graphical desktop sharing system that allows users to remotely control a computer's desktop interface through another computer or mobile device. The tutorial will consist of the following sections: Step 1: Installing the desktop environment ![]() List of content you will read in this article: |
