I just tried it. When using it (in a bright environment, had no dark environment/ night at my hands) the time to take the image felt like 1s max. So not that much longer. Also I would like to control the exposure time...

 

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.

Do you have the same "issue" as me, or know how to fix it?

 

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.

See https://lemmy.world/comment/9404186 for a Solution. Spoiler: switching from NVIDIA to an AMD GPU fixed 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.

Thanks, I might give it a try. I am not settled yet but FCOS sounds very promising. We will see.

Fedora has an annoying release cadence IMO. I have experienced desktop bugs in the early GA releases before which put me off. If I wanted instability I would sooner go with Arch (and I am yet to have many issues with Arch yet).

Do you mean they are too frequent, or what do you mean?

I am also curious. FreeBSD is, in my opinion, is such an unorthodox choice.

I don't know if the use-case you describes fit into my problem. I only have one server and its a physical server. I'm also not really able to extend the number of servers, as I don't really have the budget.

What is the difference/benefit to Fedora CoreOS?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I am also thinking about installing nix on my laptop, but I need a proprietary library for work, which is kinda hard to install/ not working on NixOS. But we might be able to just use docker for development. Well, that is currently preventing me from installing nix on my laptop, I am still looking for a way to fix that issue.

I’d recommend it, but would also recommend taking a look at Flatcar Linux which is more or less the same without the IBM dependency (which makes my stomach hurt sometimes).

Why exactly are the IBM dependencies a problem for you?

I used debian before for some years, but at some point became tired of manually updating the system (which is probably one of the biggest benefit of FCOS). It takes, however, quite some time to put your first Ignition config together, and debugging is tedious as you have to redeploy to see if a bug / error is now gone (I’ve used a VM for that).

I can't really find good resources on how FCOS is working and what are the benefits. Is it updating the system/kernel automatically as well as the containers? And what are generally, in your opinion, the advantages of FCOS?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (5 children)

You can also use container within NixOS and AFAICT even declare the containers which should be running. Also NixOS is sad to be stable, or am I missing something?

I’m probably the odd one out, but my home server is running Arch Linux. And it’s been really smooth. I do weekly maintenance in the form of updates and cleanup and it’s been reliable since I set it up a couple of years ago.

I am basically doing the same right now, all by hand. It's just that I am not doing the system and container updates regularly. I also often forget which services I have running and some of the Services I am not even using anymore. I just wanted to give them a try and now they are sitting there, wasting (barely any, but it's nagging me) resources.

 

I want to reset my server soon and I'm toying with the idea of using a different operating system. I am currently using Ubuntu Server LTS. However, I have been toying with the idea of using Fedora Server (I use Fedora on my laptop and made good experiences with it) or even Fedora CoreOS. I also recently installed NixOS on my desktop computer and find the declarativeness pretty cool (but I'm still a complete beginner) and could imagine that it would fit well into a server setup.

I have quite a few services running on my server, such as Nextcloud, Conduit (Matrix), Jellyfin, etc. and all in containers. I would also rather not install programs without containers, because 1. compose is super easy to maintain and set up, 2. it remains very clear with containers (and compose) and 3. I believe that containers are more secure. But since I also want to make the services inside the containers available, I currently have Nginx installed as a reverse proxy (not in the container, but on the system) and always create certificates with certbot so that I can use HTTPS encryption.

In the paragraph above I actually described exactly the use-case of Fedora CoreOS, but I have no experience with the system and how it works. That's why I'm still a bit hesitant at considering the OS at the moment. I can imagine that NixOS with its declarative nature seems well suited, since, as I have heard, you can configure containers as well as Nginx and with Nginx also https certificates declaratively. But I could also use a base system like before (Fedora Server or Ubuntu Server) and simply install podman, nginx and certbot and manage everything that way.

Have you had any experience with Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS or a completely different operating system for servers and what are/were your impressions with this setup? Or do you just want to share your knowledge here? I would be delighted.

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?

What was your beginner keyboard and which keyboard are you using now? It seems, that a lot of people tend to prefer smaller keyboards with layers. I myself am a bit intimidated by them, and would much prefer a somewhat more traditional number of keys, like the Lili58 or the Sofel has (as for now, I think I will get a Lili58).

Do you "regret" buying your first keyboard and would have preferred to start directly with your current keyboard (e.g. for saving money), or do you think that your beginner keyboard was necessary/important for you, to get into Spit-Ortho keyboards?

 

I want to get a corne keyboard, but I have a few questions, before I dare to dig deeper into the topic.

  1. Can I use the keyboard wired and wireless? Meaning, when I plug in a cable, that it (turns of its wireless connection and) uses the cable connection?
  2. Can I also just use one site at a time, meaning that the other side is turned off/unplugged?
  3. Which version (corne-classic, corne-cherry or corne-chocolate) should I use when I want to use Gateron Hot-Swap Switches (not low-profile)?
  4. Do I have to pay attention when buying keycaps, e.g. to also get special sized caps?

I want to build my own portable E-Reader like a Tolino/Kindle in DIN-A5 format (I know there are similar projects, like the Open Book from joeycastillo, but I want to make my own just for fun). I'm considering using the Compute Module 4 from Raspberry Pi. That, at least according to my theories, would have the advantage of me not needing to create my own OS, and the availability of already existing EPUB/HTML (EPUB is essentially just HTML) & PDF parsers and UI libraries hopefully makes my life easier. I don't want to use a default Raspberry Pi, because I don't need all the ports and I want the size of the E-Reader to be not unnecessarily thick.

The modules I need/want:

  • Micro SD Card Reader for internal Storage (or just using eMMC Storage, have not settled yet on that topic)
  • SD Card Reader (large/normal sized SD Cards), with a snap-in/spring mechanism (like with Nintendo (3)DS cartridges)
  • E-Paper Display (e.g. a waveshare)
  • USB-C Port for charging the battery (and maybe, if possible also file transfer and if possible maybe also to connect to a docking station)
  • Battery

What is your experience with the Compute Module (4) and do you have good resources for creating my own PCB extension module for the Compute Module you would like to share? Do you have constructive critique for my project idea?
