Cleaning a bike for waxing, still some grease left. What to do? - Lemmy.World
I want to switch to wax. For preparation, I am cleaning my cassette, the gears
in the bicycle derailleur (and the derailleur frame), and the bicycle chainring
(I don’t need to clean the chain because I am getting a new one).
For the job, I got white spirit, isopropyl alcohol, and a brush, and I cleaned
them as well as I could, but, for example, on the cassette there are still some
black dots left and, when touching them, they are still a little greasy. How
clean do the components need to be, and how can I get rid of the leftover
grease?
RAID or Backup? What do you think would be more appropeate for my use case?

RAID or Backup? What do you think would be more appropeate for my use case? - Lemmy.World
I am mainly hosting Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and Audiobookself. The files for these
services are currently stored on a 2TB HDD and I don’t want to lose them in case
of a drive failure. I bought two 12TB HDDs because 2TB got tight and I thought I
could add redundancy to my system, to prevent data loss due to a drive failure.
I thought I would go with a RAID 2 (or another form of RAID?), but everyone on
the internet says that RAID is not a backup. I am not sure if I need a backup. I
just want to avoid losing my files when the disk fails.
How should I proceed? Should I use RAID2, or rsync the files every, let’s say,
week? I don’t want to have another machine, so I would hook up the rsync target
drive to the same machine as the rsync host drive! Rsyncing the files seems to
be very cumbersome (also when using a cron job).
Exposure time/ shutter speed is capped

Exposure time/ shutter speed is capped - Lemmy.World
Why is the exposure time/ shutter speed for my phone capped at 1/2 (half a
second)? I would like to take photos with an exposure time of up to 30 seconds.
Even when installing other apps, like GCam or Open Camera, it is not possible to
increase the exposure time. I have an Fairphone 4 with Android 13. In the
screenshot you can see that the exposure time (S) is at the maximum value.

you have the same “issue” as me, or know how to fix it?
Where do I get some "normal" Keycaps, like in the image?

Where do I get some "normal" Keycaps, like in the image? - Lemmy.World
I am living in Germany and I need some Keycaps, which are not expensive. They
don’t need to be special, they just need to… work.

[Question/Issue] In Game and Discord randomly no Audio - Lemmy.World
When I’m in-game (using steam and proton-ge or just proton) and have Discord
open, I sometimes (or better often, just not predictable), have no sound. I
can’t hear the system-sound anymore (including discord) but my microphone works
fine, meaning others in a discord call for example can still hear me. When I
have Spotify open and music running the issue appears less often. But when it
appears Spotify seems to not being able to play a song. There is a small white
popup with roughly the text “current song not playable”. The same in YouTube,
just that the video is not loading (even when it has buffered). When I close my
game and Discord the sound is back and Spotify/YouTube is able to play the
current song/video again. Also, when I change the Audio Output from my Headset
to my music speakers, then the sound is available again (when changing back to
the headphones it is stuck again). The Headphones mentioned are Sennhaiser GSP
960 and the music speakers are the Logi MX Sound. I am currently running stable
NixOS, but the issue also appeared on an Arch Linux install. Did anyone of you
experience the same issue as me and found a fix for that, or know how I can
debug the problem or can help debug the issue?

I also had problems with NVIDIA and I made the tough decision to buy a new Graphics card. After switching to an AMD GPU, the Audio issues were also gone… Don’t ask me why, I’m just happy, that I have a working setup now.
