I only got that one drive (and that one usb drive) and the other drive is online. I would have to shut down my system, in order to test it. I can only do that in a few days.
When plugging into the system - Does the dmesg output display anything else useful, any warnings or anything?
I used degreaser, but it left a black grease. I removed the small gears in the derailleur and used degreaser, then scrubbed with white spirit and then with isopropanol. But I didn't soak it, because I heard it can dissolve the grease in the bearings.
I was told that the small gears in the derailleur should not be put in white spirit or acetone, because it would also remove the grease in the bearings 🤔.
Well, I am not active that often either (on Lemmy), but thanks for suggesting the other communities!
I already had a peek at your photos and they look gorgeous!
I just remembered what my issue with flashes were. Shutter wise, I can only go as low as 200, which is not optimal for my shaky hands (its not that bad, but I prefer to shoot at higher shutter).
I am currently using a Canon EOS 200D (first generation) with a (I think) Tamron f2.8 90mm macro lens. It is what I have, and I cannot afford better equipment 🥲
I am pretty bad with photo stacking, especially for moving targets (which I almost exclusively shoot), because
The camera has a pretty slow burst and a tiny buffer, and it doesn't have focus bracketing. Therefore, for stacking, I have to be very precise and steady (which I am not).
I don't have good software for stacking, mainly because I am on Linux (and I will not switch for photo stacking). I found some programs under Linux for photo stacking (even RAW, iirc). Lately, I got Affinity Photo running, and if it performs well, I might consider buying it for the stacking. But I don't need the editing features, because I am happy with what Darktable has to offer.
But I am willing to learn focus stacking, I sometimes try, but then I pause because it is a lot of work and research. Someday I will figure it out; I just need more time 😁
Sadly, the camera is not very light-sensitive. To reduce the aperture, I have to lower the shutter speed, which would make the image more blurry, or use a flash (I should definitely check out flashes... I guess). I cannot (or shouldn't) increase the ISO above 16 000 because then the noise becomes unbearable.
Very often, I also have problems with the focus not being on the subject. The autofocus is generally not that good, and I often cannot really see what is in focus. Focus peaking would be a great feature, which the camera doesn't have 🫠
Thanks for your reply; it is cool to hear that the photo is generally already good. This was my first submission to a critique site 😁 Your advice is appreciated, and I will try to get into focus stacking.
Thanks for the advice. Do you have suggestions how to setup/handle the backup? E.G. manually connecting the drive via USB and cloning the files via rsync/ borg, e.g. every week or every time a threshold of changes have been made? Or having a small extra machine with the backup hard drive and sending the files via the network?
I am also still a bit confused. I have 2x 12TB. Lets say I have 6TB files on my hosting drive. AFAICT can I have two backups/snapshots before the third backup needs to override the first backup. Or am missing something? Buying more drives for backup is not really doable, as drives do generally cost a buck and I cannot/ don't really want to afford buying more drives.
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...
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.
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 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.

Nope, just what I posted, IIRC.
Honestly I don't have a spare cable at home. I need to organize one and then test it, which is probably taking some time.
I am now trying the freezer trick and tomorrow I will have an update :) Btw, such a nice read xD I really enjoyed it.
I hope I will notice in reasonable time and go get a new one for the next backup :)

I am on a tight budget, therefore I want to save a little money and use the cassette as long as I can. But I also thought about just replacing it...

I will give the other AF methods a shot.
Generally, thanks for the tips! :)

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

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

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

What is the difference/benefit to Fedora CoreOS?
