SRAM Rival 1 brifter replacement
  • Check out the SRAM compatibility charts here: https://www.sram.com/en/service/manuals--documents/compatability-map?filters=brand|SRAM&showRecent=false&page=1

    Find your derailleur model and find compatible shifters then make sure the shifters are mechanical brake compatible. You can probably find the model numbers somewhere on the parts. I don't know about SRAM but Shimano only puts numbers on some things so might be a little hard.

  • Question about drive capacity for WD PR4100
    1. Looks like that NAS was originally sold with up to 40tb capacity so it shouldn't have any issues with larger drives. Seems like the "my cloud os" is based on Linux so unless WD built in some weird limit, it should work with 20tb drives.

    2. I don't have an answer here, never had to rebuild an array. You might be able to use clonezilla which can do a block by block copy of disks and then expand the volume in the OS if it supports it. This is just conjecture, I've never done it with a raid array.

  • Elon Musk steps up political giving with six-figure donation to House Republicans
  • Just speculating here but it could be a joint fundraising committee donation. Basically allows a contribution to one entity to be distributed to many political entities. So the contribution limit would still apply but you can contribute to all people/pacs/parties associated with that committee. Doing some terrible calculations that would amount to like 1.7m if you maxed out contributions to every general election candidate ($3300 x 538) and excluding parties/pacs.

  • Jellyfin newbie
  • It's in perpetual beta and is free as long as you don't want to run multiple copies at a time. I had so many DVDs to rip I bought a license. It can also rip UHD Blu-rays if you have the correct drive. Not sure why it would say it's too old, are your date settings in windows correct? The forum is filled with people doing exactly what you describe and is a great resource. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=20579

  • Can someone give me advice on vacuum cleaners?
  • Since you are in Germany, buy a sebo. Great power and supposedly inexpensive since they are made in Germany. Some of them come with 10 year warranties and replacement parts are readily available.

    Also if you want repairability, do not buy a Shark. They have 900 models and getting replacement parts can be extremely hard because they don't make the same model for very long. Dyson is slightly better in that regard but not much.

  • Small VPN Access Device?

    I think this fits the rules but If this doesnt let me know and I'll delete. Hey all, Overall problem statement: I'm looking for a small device (SBC if available) that I can use as a tail scale access point for travel and I'm hoping someone has done something similar. Basically I would like to have something small enough that I can toss in my travel bag that I can hook into a hotel network and have access to my home services (mainly jellyfin) on my kindle/work laptop. Not all of my devices support VPN or tailscale and having them already on a known network with built in VPN makes it 10x easier to deal with when traveling (login into hotel WiFi with a kindle Paperwhite sucks!) Ideally it would have dual gig Ethernet and built in WiFi. If this works out well enough I would like to give a few of these to the family so they can access things as well, so cost is a bit important.

    I found a banana pi R3-mini that I thought would work out of the box (wifi6 + dual gig + small) but it seems too new for full software support with tail scale and I don't currently have the skills to roll my own software for it. Is there anything out there that you all have used for this type of use case?

    I know I can switch to wire guard but I'm not confident I can set that up securely and reliably but if that's my only option I think I did find a good guide.

    So I'm at a crossroads of learning to build my own openwrt install with the correct packages, learning how to setup wire guard, or asking for recommendations.

    Edit: Thanks for all the recommendations. Looks like openwrt has released a new build for the banana pi that I have so I'm going to try that again before trying to setup wire guard. The GL.inet devices look like they have an older version of openwrt, so they support tailscale via the openwrt package manager but it can be unstable. Some people have even called it alpha on those devices. So I'm hoping the newest version on the bpi-r3 will allow a more stable tailscale. I'll try to report back once I play around with it more.

    What's the best fizzy water?
  • This is a crazy recommendation but I think Canada dry plain seltzer is basically as good as topo Chico. I got some at a gas station the other day cause I was dying of thirst and it was as good as topo Chico my wife thought so too.

  • SumatraPDF: a lightweight FOSS PDF reader (can not edit)
  • Love me some Sumatra, the biggest benefit to me is using it as the PDF previewer engine in windows explorer. 10x faster than the built in or adobe previewer. Takes a little work to do but since I'm frequently scanning through PDFs it was worth the effort.

  • How do you get the stink out of your gym clothes?
  • Might try the new rinse aids which are similar to vinegar in that they make the rinse acidic but there's no scent to them. We just tried it and they have helped our blankets, towels, and athletic clothes.

  • How to remove stripped laptop screw?
  • So taking some experience from working on cars where a blow torch would help. maybe try a soldering iron on it to break what rust or loctite might be on the threads before trying to unscrew it? Cycle it on/off the screw head to heat the whole thing up before trying to unscrew.

  • Hiking, hiking, hiking
  • Walking up a mountain to start then back down is 1/2 as hard as walking in to a valley and then climbing out even if total distance and elevation are the same. Relationships have been destroyed over such mistakes.

    If you are going alone or small group. Tell people when/where you are going how long you expect to be gone what trails you expect to take and make sure you call them to report youre ok when done.

  • Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay 120k$ within 24h
  • Yes I read the whole thing. This is large company A being mad at company B for cutting off their way below market rate service and company B being a dick about the situation. I did some more digging and 4m monthly users seem to be around 1/3 of Fanduel (Flutter entertainment). This guy is probably working for a company with over $1b revenue per year. Any company that relies on their website for all of their business should have had contracts in place with CF to ensure they were fully within the ToS or contingencies in place to pivot off of CF should CF decide you aren't in compliance.

    CF said their account was flagged for domain rotation activities which is against the ToS. "This also means that if a country DNS-blocks our main domain, a secondary domain may still be available. This could arguably be seen as a violation of the Cloudflare TOS, as they wrote above.". They had 2 weeks to stop doing that or upgrade to the enterprise account. Instead they didn't do that and as soon as they said they said they were looking at alternatives, CF stopped giving them grace on the ToS violation in the most malicious compliance way possible.
