i want to buy a few hard drives for backups.
What is the most reliable option for longetivity? i was looking at the wd ae, which they claim is fit for this purpose, but knowing nothing about hard drives, I wouldnt know if it was a marketing claim..
I had no idea that cromoly tubes were so expensive so Im now looking for alternatives..
a generic question I have is, does it really matter on what I use of its not for a competition setup?
I mean I dnt care if its relatively heavy.. my initial thoughts was using stainless steel tubes or even construction rods but everyone online seem to recommend only using cromoly..
edit: ordered 5x25mm wtainless steel tubes for 15eur (1.5m) the same in cromoly couldnt find them under 70eur..
I had some wheel made but when they rotate they come in contact with the disc break pads (slightly).
The bikeshop that built them will take another month to look at this, as they are fully booked, and I dont want to pay 35+ on another bikeshop..
Is it doable to DIY this with a spoke key and using the fork as a stand?
(I think it would be a useful skill to learn as it will make me less dependent on bikeshops)
Bike shops are asking 100+£ for a bike assemble and it might be justified but its too much for my budget and I want to DIY it.
Is that risky to do by watching youtube videos and borrowing tools from friends?
I want to install an english threaded bottom branket with a squared tappered crankset, disc brakes (mechanical), headset (threadless including cutting stem).
Are there any individuals or services that will build a custom air quality sensor from individual components for a fee? I am mainly interested parties in a couple humidity+temp+co2 boxes (wifi,zigbee,zwave or cable)
(Airgradient is prob ideal but too expensive)
I want to create a custom dashboard web app thing for the purpose of learning and to make it avalaible for selfhosted servers.
The plan is to use existing linux cli tools as much as possible.. Which of them do you think are appropriate for that purpose?
There is a nice list in this blogpost but I dont have any experience with any of them: https://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2024-03-24/linux-crisis-tools.html
I want a switch with a few POE ports but it needs to be as low power as possible as I rely in solar.
Any recommendeations?
Any low power security cameras that would recommend with night vision and decent quality? Ideally non-smart without a cloud option as I would like to connect it directly to an offline server with a cable or wifi (although not having a wifi might be better)
