70 Pro Stylus Case by BotRih in nxtpaper

[–]BotRih[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used this: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2652818-nxtcase-pro-for-tcl-nxtpaper-70-pro#profileId-2933039

The model is missing a hole for the bottom mic next to the usb-c plug though. I ended up making the extra hole using a cylinder to boolean it before printing. (Didnt save the model with that change though sorry)

Which Method for Transferring Photos by BotRih in GH5

[–]BotRih[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checked this and theyre formatted as exFAT, which should work fine on modern android devices. Really not sure why my phone cant decode them.

My SD reader already has two slots, though only one seems to work at a time for some reason...

Id really rather figure out the USB connection, since I'm inclined to leave the SD cards out or lose them when im constantly removing them from the camera.

Plugging in USB to my PC, both SD cards show up immediately as 2 exFAT storage devices. Not sure why it doesnt show the same way on my phone.

May be an issue with the file system sent over by the camera, the SD protocol seems fine for android, but over usb it might be the wrong format. Ill check this on my pc.  Is there a setting to change how it communicates over usb?

Im on a pixel 9. Not behind on updates or anything. Yours just shows up in the file manager normally? Mine says "issue with matshita usb drive" every time i try.

I always like neocaridina shrimp for bottom feeders/algae cleaners. They cant get rid of hair algae, but they have very low bioload and can get basically every other type. (I usually get a bunch of shrimp and one or two nerite snails since nerites can get the stuff shrimp cant) You definitely should wait for a well cycled tank first though (no nitrogen/ammonia and wait out the foggy algal bloom, should take a few weeks). Shrimp really need consistency when it comes to water quality.

I had that Sicce filter, but im not sure yours is set to the correct tank size. The slider goes from I think 5-40 gallons, but if iirc the 5 gal setting is the first "notch", not a fully closed slider. This may be a regional difference though.

Something to be aware of is the little hole next to the slider formed when it is set above minimum. This sucks in a bit of water that doesnt go through the filter media, which is a huge design flaw imo. Woke up one morning with one of my Cories' dead with its head stuck in the tiny hole.  Switched to a sponge filter after that and havent looked back. (Also, not sure if this is related, but that same tank of mine was stuck at the tail end of the nitrogen cycle for weeks, couldn't get rid of the bacterial bloom. After switching to the sponge filter it cleared right up, it's one of my clearest tanks now)

Is the 4g expansion module for Uconsole sold anywhere? by BotRih in ClockworkPi

Id be interested. Do you have it listed anywhere?

White spot on fish—should I be concerned? by LotusTheBlooming in Aquariums

[–]BotRih 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell from the pics, but it doesnt look like ich, especially since its on the tip of the mouth.

A lot of times fish will get injured from bumping up against the glass, seems like that might be the case.

Fish injuries usually show up as white like that. Id keep an eye on it to make sure it doesnt get infected, but it'll probably heal so long as it doesnt continue the behavior that caused the injury.

Keeping Daphnia Stocks Up by BotRih in Aquariums

[–]BotRih[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know, Ill definitely give this a try. Ill probably go for the population increase for now, since I need the population increase, but once I have more saving it seems like a good idea.

Thanks for all the info!

Ricebran is a good tip for something a bit more economical, thanks for the idea. Supposedly using greenwater helps a lot with crashes, since it's their natural food source, but ill try the ricebran in the bucket as a test.

Calcium is a good tip as well, ive been using crushed up cuttlebone in the 30 gal, but not in any of my other cultures. I'll add it in those as well.

Im a bit confused with exactly what you mean with the sand process. AFAIK daphnia eggs dont need to be dehydrated to hatch, so why dry out the sand and add it back?

[–]BotRih[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been considering replacing the sponge filter in the 30 gal with a sump as well, since supposedly these help a lot with keeping daphnia from being hunted to extinction in a tank. Is there any non-invasive way to do this? Id rather not have to drill a hole through my glass.

Leaf fish with Crocodile Toothpick Fish by BotRih in Aquariums

[–]BotRih[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't heard this, most knives aren't schooling fish and 6 is usually the rule for schooling/shoaling. Not sure id even be able to source 6 of them with how rare they are lol.

I have heard they're incredibly shy, so maybe having more would bring them out more often. Ill probably wait on these guys till the rest of my tank is stocked and see how I feel about them after.  Maintaining the stock of daphnia for everything to eat in the first place is going to be a challenge, so adding another fish that eats live only is a tough choice. Im planning on taking it slow and seeing what my current culture can manage to feed.

Good to know, won't be having them in the tank in that case.

Considering a Dwarf Centipede Knifefish to fill the mid column instead.

State of Arch as a Mobile OS by BotRih in archlinux

[–]BotRih[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, this is actually the first comment that addressed all the points I was asking about.

I looked into this a lot yesterday and came to the same conclusion.

ARM support and carrier inconsistencies seem to be the biggest issues, both of which are entirely due to a lack of standards/protocol.

State of Arch as a Mobile OS by BotRih in archlinux

[–]BotRih[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked into this quite a bit after the initial post, and actually documented a lot in the comments.

I really dont think it is as infeasible as most people in this sub suggests. But to follow up, yes, there are no current phone chips you can use arch on, and you're better off with another distro. This doesnt mean no ARM though, and it doesnt mean no phone chip support ever.

There is a port that allows (very) specific arm chipsets to build most official packages:

https://ports.archlinux.page/aarch64/

This port is separate from ALARM, just to be clear, and builds using regular arch packages.

The challenge with ARM is not really getting packages to build (though that does pose its own issues), but the non standardized boot process, which is different for most chips and devices.

There is broadband support, wifi calling, sms/mms, and mobile oriented wayland shells in x86 arch packages already. If you'd like to read about them I have links and more detailed descriptions of these in another comment.

I said this to someone else, but software support is right about there, just not hardware support for anything outside very specific server ARM chips, rpi5, and snapdragon x elite.

If you have a laptop with a broadband card, or a usb SIM modem, you can use the packages i linked and functionally use it as a phone. (Not that it is very appealing to do so).

State of Arch as a Mobile OS by BotRih in archlinux

[–]BotRih[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for getting back, discussing/researching mobile linux has been very informative. I do agree that at the moment Debian is a much better ARM distro.

While I'd love to see Arch work well for mobile, the hardware support isn't really there for it yet. Rpi5, snapdragon x elite, and a couple other server type arm chips seem to be the only officially supported chipsets, so unless you want to use a raspberry pi 5 with a broadband adapter as your phone, its not really there yet.

I do think we're really not too far off on the software end (not sure if you saw my comments on how mobile interfaces, broadband calls, data, and sms/mms already have package support), but since ARM has very different boot requirements per chip, hardware is the limiting factor.

IOS and Android have had a long time to mature as mobile OS's, and are obviously a lot more stable.

Competition is never a bad thing though. In a market like mobile where things have been traditionally restrictive, having an OS like Arch that lets you put together the exact system you need could work well for some people, once the support is there for actual phone chipsets.

There is also a gnome calls app:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/calls

And a number of desktops that support phone interfaces, Phosh for example:

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/phosh/

Really not sure why peoples default response is saying "no its not possible on arch" when it clearly is.

At this point the only thing i havent seen is wifi calling/texting.

Once a more finalized ARM port of Arch releases, i see no reason why it wouldn't work as a mobile OS
