#suggestions

My dad (who never asks for gifts) has made it known he wants a digital photo frame as a holiday gift this year. I'm doing my own research here, but I'd love recommendations if anyone has them! A couple key requirements:

  1. Must be functional without an Internet connection (by which I mean it must display and auto cycle through photos at a minimum; physical buttons or a touch screen would be ideal).

  2. High quality screen. Think like 1600x1200 on a 10-12" frame, with good color reproduction.

I have a budget of about $300, but I could go a bit higher for the perfect frame.

Thanks in advance for any guidance or suggestions here! As with anything else, the market is innundated with low quality crap and I'd really like to get him something decent.

Question for #bloggers and #web type people: Is there a smoother, quicker way to blog on #hugo ? I am getting to know the platform, and I like it (but don't know much about alternatives, being a WordPress escapee). I have it set up as a #blog on one domain. It takes around 5 minutes to post a blog entry, not including the time taken to write the entry. I don't use github, which seems to place me firmly in the minority of Hugo users. I also don't host this from my local machine; I have it on Opalstack (my no-nonsense webhost). My workflow right now is this: Navigate into my local wwww/content directoryCreate a .md file for the blog entryType the blog entryAdd any photos I might want to go with the entry, meaning resize & rename them, put them in the /images directory, and type the link in the blog entryPreview [optional, probably not necessary without images]: hugo server -D then over to my browser at localhost:1313 to make sure the post looks OK. Adjust, repeat as necessaryFire up FilezillaEnable the site (the presets for logging in and loading local & remote directories)Transfer everything from local to webhost (usually takes about 30s with "replace only if file is newer")Go see if it looks OK Step 8 (second-to-last) should theoretically be much faster with rsync but I'm getting error messages from Opalstack's server with that. I think I need their help, so maybe just assume step 8 could be simplified to an rsync command. Are there Linux packages/functions that simplify some of this? Should I just ditch Hugo and use something simpler if I'm only blogging? Is this pretty much what the future looks like for me? #Suggestions and ideas welcome. #help
