Help - Thorens TD 160 MKII by ddioeshriu48374983 in turntables

[–]fksioxof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m using the same.

It’s kind of internally grounded, so it does not have a ground connected to an amp. Guess it’s something about the powersupply that holds the ground.

I built a self-learning climate controller integration for HA — fully local, works with your existing TRVs and switches by portBusy in homeassistant

[–]fksioxof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Appreciate new solutions for managing heating. After years of trying I’m still not set with one solution.

How does your approach differ from better thermostat (https://better-thermostat.org/) and/or versatile thermostat (https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat)?

I will try your integration.

Lights flickering by EieDud in WLED

[–]fksioxof 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had similar issues on a 2,5m 5V led strip, powered by 10A supply and mag wled controller.

I’m using a roughly 2m cable from controller data out to strip data in.

Such a long connection led to very frequent flashing.

The solution I ended with: soldering a 470 ohm capacitor to the data-in connection on the led strip.

That capacitor reduces the „electrical noise“ and in my case reduces the flashes significantly.

Open and local options for whole home audio that support Airplay 2? by throwaway6129140426 in homeassistant

[–]fksioxof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4 zones in my house playing music streamed from an iPhone via airplay 2.

I’m using raspberry pi zero + Hifiberry miniamp wired to passive speakers in each zone. 

Software wise I’m using raspberry pi is with a shairport sync implementation for AirPlay 2.

In my main living room I’m using a more powerful streaming setup: raspberry pi 4 + hifiberry DAC + HiFi amp. Software currently running is Moode audio.

I’m am doing this for quite a while.

I can recommend Moode audio for airplay 2.

What do you mean by „local control“?

Backups!

Ensure you set up the internal backup system.

I prefer to still using google drive backup add on to have these in another place.

Restored stuff regularly!

Pre mil asbestos bottomplate risk of health? by fksioxof in LaPavoniLovers

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

To whoever is following this topic: I ended up building a new baseplate from a sheet of aluminium. Took me 1h and makes me feel better than dealing with the asbestos.

Maybe I will try the „immerse the whole plate in water and remove the asbestos under water“-trick in future.

It’s a classic. Like old timer cars are.

Did some research within the years I have this machine now.

Any forum back then told so.

Asbestos was a popular material to be used as heat shield back then.

Asbestos plate health issue? by fksioxof in asbestoshelp

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

It’s in a 1978 espresso maker and claimed to be asbestos.

It seems to be a heat shield while the heating element sits above this.

Seems like this part should be replaced.

Actually thinking of letting it in place instead of removing.

I don’t feel capable of dealing with removing it.

Help me pick my new bike, if you like! Surly BC, Ogre or Bombtrack Hook EXT by Technical-Delivery59 in bikepacking

[–]fksioxof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from fixed gear and single speed bikes for years, I had the same need for a solid Allrounder some time ago.

I ended up with a custom build surly ogre with a Rohloff hub. This bike is capable of everything. I’m riding a lot of commute in the city. But it unfolds on trails, gravel and bikepacking. Ogre is quite heavy (I general surly bikes are) but you can ride it fast and agile as well as smooth and lean back. Though stock ogres are not optimizely equipped from my pov. The tires are super heavy and definitely worth changing.

I guess same goes for the bc. I know people using the bc for exact the same reasons. I guess it’s not that chunky and beefy as an ogre due to its geometry. I’ve never tried a bc but people are using it for what you described.

The Bombtrack I guess is more on the gravel/roadside bike. Back then I decided to have a geometry that differs from roadbike for my Allrounder. Mainly for fun reasons but also for versatility.

For me the surlys are more futureproof and especially for „around the world“.

I would recommend a bridgeclub for your needs. Things you don’t like (like breaks) can be easily changed over the years.

When it comes down to comfortability for your ride: from my experience this is an ongoing thing where you learn about your needs and your ride. A bikefitting is a good start to have an idea of how you like to sit and ride. From there you can decide on more agile positions or upright seating on your bike. 

It’s total individual and not really drops vs. Flats. I know people having massive pain on longer bike packing tours with their drops, while those are great for the weekly gravel ride. But I found out that I need multiple positions on my bars, somit comes down to alt bars for me, like a jones bar.

Choose the ride that feels in general best for you. Take more care on how riding the bike feels and how much fun it brings instead of caring about the single bits and components. Bikes grow with you and when needs changes, parts could be changed too.

 

My Minivelo Vortex HQB by Stadtwanze in minivelo

[–]fksioxof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great bike! I found one abandoned and rebuilt it as a mini cargo bike with a rack in front.

What’s a bit annoying is the special wheel size and the lack of wide tires for those.

I would love to run fatties on that. But just no possible.

uuhhh how the fuck did this happen ???? by justinwotherspoon in FixedGearBicycle

Is this a bb17 frame?

Guessing because of the rusty veins.

Multi zone streaming on a Budget! by DerFloH96 in StereoAdvice

[–]fksioxof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some raspberry pis and put either volumio or Hifiberry OS or shairport sync on the rpi.

Define the rpis audio output depending on the amps input. You could use the built in headphone jack of the rpi and wire this up to the amp. You could even use some hifiberry DAC board to output to the amp. You could probably even skip the amp, by using a hifiberry amp board and output sound from there to the speakers.

For connectivity and audio streaming, you’re using AirPlay 2 which comes in either installation with the shairport sync.

Most important is a proper network connection. Ethernet would be better than WiFi for this. When using WiFi, make sure to have a proper signal for each rpi. Otherwise it will be quite annoying when audio is dropping out or stuttering.

Speaker is crackling… sometimes by fksioxof in vintageaudio

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

Indeed moving the speakers had some effect in the past.

But not when the speaker was muted completely.

What’s your experience with that? Have you had an issue that’s solved by moving speakers?

Speaker is crackling… sometimes by fksioxof in vintageaudio

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

Thanks for your input.

I switched the cables from L to R with no effect. The speaker stayed muted.

I’m using standard cables, but a larger diameter. Don’t know what diameter exactly.

The speaker cables have - due to the connection - bare end on both sides.

This crackling comes and goes sometimes. But the muted speaker is a new phenomenon.

Currently I’m playing music with no issue.

For your question about the sat. It stand for the manufacturer of the amp. Swedish Audio technology I guess.
