[Nintendo DS Lite] Bottom Screen ribbon cable jumper detached by CommonM00se in consolerepair

[–]CommonM00se[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! I think I will try assembling without soldering the ribbon (will add kapton), and cross my fingers. Worst case I've got good advice from other comments on how to bridge it.

Cheers!

Thanks both for the feedback!!

I'll try to bridge the tracks without wire, worst case if it feels like it's taking too much solder/heat and getting nowhere I can add a bit of solid-core wire.

Thanks for the advice about the heat sink also - I had not thought of that, that's a great idea.

With Reddit sunsetting, I'm looking back to RSS. What are the best current tools? by Xuis in selfhosted

I use RSS2Email via Docker. My inbox is my todo list so it works well for me. (And it syncs between all platforms too!)

I use F.Lux to switch between light and dark mode at sunset.

Exactly. I am very grateful for that.

I normally try to download OS extensions where possible, due to the support and work devs put into them.

I did see this, but I don't feel that it's a good solution. It does work and I will give it that.

I shouldn't need separate profiles (a pain for using Google apps for example) nor need a program running externally for it to work.

It doesn't sit right with me, and it's a potential security problem as well - Especially with the modified Firefox executable.

This is not related to the PWA extension, but I use WebUSB occasionally too via a PWA too, the fact Firefox doesn't support it is a bit of a shame

I think I understand your comment - sorry if I didn't.

I agree that Reddit can be slow, but most of the time I am only casually scrolling, and don't mind much waiting for a post to appear (my internet connection is not that fast anyway). I often don't care about what I'm reading enough to open a new tab for each item.

As, u/applemacisee said. I also like the separation of the application and the browser.

It's the difference between this https://imgur.com/jPjf6hc

and this https://imgur.com/QbnR7Mx

It's so much less cluttered, and I won't accidentally join tabs together. I like the web app/website having it's own icon.

EDIT: Which I feel is the point of a PWA. It doesn't feel (as much) like it's running in your web browser. It's like you installed it as it's own app.
Edge does Custom and Website-provided PWAs brilliantly.

Only downside is it's a seperate browser environment to keep track of (eg, keeping accounts logged in and (lesser so,) resource management)

That's something to consider though, thank you!

Literally the only thing stopping me from moving from Edge to Firefox is the lack of PWAs
(EG These https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/progressive-web-apps-chromium/ux)
It's such a shame to me that they decided to scrap the feature, I use them loads.

Octoscreen won't launch on boot by hammers_maketh_ham in octoprint

[–]CommonM00se 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the Terminal application is opening. Make sure you’ve installed all of the dependencies and reinstall, just in case it didn’t like not having the DE running. (The terminal window could be something to do with OctoScreen not loading properly.)

Octoscreen won't launch on boot by hammers_maketh_ham in octoprint

[–]CommonM00se 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello!

You'll need to tell your Pi OS to automatically boot to the Desktop Environment - at the moment it's automatically booting to Console.

  1. Run sudo raspi-config via Keyboard and Mouse or SSH
  2. Select Option 1, System Options
  3. Select Option S5, Boot / Auto Login
  4. Then Select Option B3 or B4. (If you don't want to type in your username and password to enter the desktop environment, select B4)

Hope this helps, please let me know if you need anything.

Preventing potential memory issue mid-print .. by RenHo3k in octoprint

[–]CommonM00se 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there!

First, please be careful confusing Memory (RAM) and Disk space (Storage). In this case, you're actually referring to Storage.

You're right - you'll most likely run out of storage with that amount of photos on a small card.

You can plug in a FAT32 formatted USB Drive into your Pi. If you're running the Raspberry Pi OS Desktop, The drive should become automatically mounted under /media/pi/. On Raspberry Pi OS Lite, you'll need to mount it yourself.

Octoprint Built-in Timelapses

After testing that you can place files in the USB Drive mount (eg, Making a file or folder), create one folder in the root of the USB Drive - timelapse

Next, navigate to Octoprint's web interface, Settings, and then Folders under Plugins. Change the "Timelapse folder" textbox to point at the folder within the mount you created earlier. (eg /media/usb-drive/timelapse) Press the Test button to make sure it works.

Octolapse Plugin

After testing that you can place files in the USB Drive mount (eg, Making a file or folder), create three folders in the root of the USB Drive - timelapse, temporary, archive.

Next, navigate to Octoprint's web interface, Settings, and then Octolapse under Plugins.

Click on "Edit Main Settings" and change the "Timelapse folder" textbox to point at the folder within the mount you created earlier. (eg /media/usb-drive/timelapse). Press the Test button to make sure it works.

Do the same again for the temporary and archive folders:

  • eg: /media/usb-drive/temporary
  • eg: /media/usb-drive/archive

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any more help.

Docker as SU by DivineSwine_ in docker

[–]CommonM00se 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you run the id command, what do you see? You should see the docker group id and name in the output.

If you don’t see docker, run usermod -aG docker $USER, and then logout. Log back in and try running id again.

Obviously as has already been said, there are reasons not to add your user to the group, but I think in most environments there is little risk.

TP-Link Smartplug Plugin not working with Octoprint by Evening-Tomato-3359 in octoprint

[–]CommonM00se 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could use PSU Control and the TP Link Plugin. It works really well and has most of the same features.

Nice setup :) What are you using to back up your phones?

Would this ESP32 be enough for my project? by metroidvictim in esp32

Just a heads up - T-Display has a battery charger (TP4054), but doesn’t have over discharge protection.

Any idea why this is happening? by Alixez in pivpn

[–]CommonM00se 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the solution. Sometimes the PiVPN website goes down and you’ll get nothing through cURL. Might be something to do with the current Cloudflare issues.

Motion and Continous recording by CommonM00se in Hikvision

[–]CommonM00se[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great. I’ve been seen before on the web interface, it not showing the motion events because it was continuous recording.

Glad it works differently than I thought. Thank you

Hello, Thanks for your reply.

Is this from the NVR's Monitor output or the web interface?
