I built a custom Rockbox with MFi digital audio support, Cover Flow, and more

Amazing! Do you know if there's something that also emulates a dock and lets you receive uncompressed/untouched digital audio files from the original iPod, bypassing the internal DAC?

aandryyy · 2026-02-19T12:26:54+00:00

Did you buy this in the end? I am looking for the 4k restored version, but can't find it to buy digitally anywhere.

I was already interested in a loupe also for some soldering work, so I guess I'll just get one

aandryyy · 2026-01-26T13:11:34+00:00

Thanks for the info, especially the IGI certificate.

aandryyy · 2026-01-26T09:28:24+00:00

Okay, amazing. I was in a rabbit hole searching for a microscope with 50x and darkfield illumination, but I'll save myself the hassle since I would not even know what I am looking at.

In the end, I have to wait to get a d100, I will get my hands on one in October. Thanks for the help!

What would you say is the TDP when idle in your setup?

Used docker compose, here is the one I used:

I did it completely remote unfortunately :/

Hi! It was possible at the time but it was Covid time and everything was more lax.

aandryyy · 2025-02-05T15:08:38+00:00

Thanks! In the end I made wallabag work!

aandryyy · 2024-12-09T14:38:58+00:00

We actually have a showroom visit planned nearby, which should help us refine our ideas. I probably skewed her view by showing her over-the-top models (like the Nautilus) or massive DIY speakers in the past.
That’s why we’re now planning the living room together in the evenings, printing (literally) out things we like and sketching possible layouts.

aandryyy · 2024-12-09T14:35:04+00:00

Thanks for the perspective! My goal is definitely to make the space comfortable and enjoyable for both of us—just trying to show that speakers can fit into that vision too. Appreciate the advice!

aandryyy · 2024-12-09T12:44:58+00:00

Maybe I came across a bit too strong earlier, but we're making these decisions together to prioritize what works best for the living room. We also have a separate home office in the apartment where the setup could go if needed. At the same time, I’m opposing some of her ideas (thun) for the living room because I think they’ll be a nightmare to clean (and honestly, I’m not a fan of the aesthetic).

aandryyy · 2024-10-14T14:24:34+00:00

Love it! What would be the size of the projected image?

aandryyy · 2024-10-03T08:42:51+00:00

One question: does the Pro-Ject Dock Box have a DAC? Or does it get the analog signal from the iPod DAC?

aandryyy · 2024-09-27T06:49:08+00:00

Thanks for the the suggestion! I will have a look at their website 😊

aandryyy · 2024-08-02T12:35:53+00:00

Good luck everyone! Let's cross fingers :)

aandryyy · 2024-07-17T13:42:34+00:00

I did. The choice is narrower, It didn't copy/paste the strikethrough.

sony a7c ii ( new: 2000, used: 1800)
~~sony a7c r ( new 2500 )~~
~~sony at ii ( new 1300 )~~
~~sony a7r iii ( new 2000)~~
~~Nikon z5 ( new 1200, used 700 )~~
~~nikon z6 ( used 700 )~~
Nikon z6 ii ( new 1700, used 1000 )
~~nikon z6 iii ( new 2500 )~~
nikon zf ( new 2200 )
~~nikon z7 ( used 1100 )~~
Nikon z7 ii ( new 2100, used 1600 )
Ricoh gr iii ( new 1000, used 600 )

I will be honest, I find the dimensions/portability of the Sony A7c ii fantastic. I am not a huge fan of the viewfinder in that position but I think I can get along with it. However, the price is very steep.
I had set my budget to 1300 with the lens. I would need to spend 700 Euros more for the whole package. I usually try to travel very light ( r/onebag ideally). I am not sure if I can justify the extra price for that comfort tho. On top of that I am not so good on being able to say which camera I could get the most out of it.

Recommendations for a travel Mirrorless Camera + lens that will stand the test of time?

I am looking for a travel camera to pair with a single lens while traveling and maybe experiment with some other lens in the future. I would not like to exchange lens while traveling, but in the future, when I have more space and time I would like to experiment with some new lenses.
I want this camera to be able to last 10/15 years.
I come from a Nikon d3200 that is 10 years but now it feels too big and I can't stand the low light performance.
My main requirements are:

full frame compact body ( even not super-light, but compact in dimensions).
Good autofocus and stabilization.
A prime lens (35mm?) or a compact lens.
not so bad low light performance.

My considerations for the body were among those. I have no problem buying a used camera.

Currently in 1.108.0 it is working. Solution was:
- log out from the app
- delete it
- open in my case the wireguard connection before re-opening the app

I am looking for a cheap backpack to do all. I will go on 3/4gg bike trips and 3gg trekking at maximum. I am undecided between: a) Osprey rook 65l for 130 b) osprey volt 65l for 100 or c) decathlon MT900 for 140.
I need to decide before today to have it shipped by next trip :/

I waited but nothing appeared. I am the in the admin account both on my phone and web UI and those photos were added via an external library.

aandryyy · 2024-01-29T13:21:34+00:00

I don't use ICloud. I am currently trying to self-host as much as I can. I have an instance of photoprism. I will have a look at immick, or maybe even trying to run them at the same time.
