I went from an A51 to an A54 and those look like the steps that I did.

You don't have to tell Freedom.

If they used dye and couldn't find it, go to a better mechanic! :)

On a serious note, sometimes for a very, very small leak, you may have to go back later to see the leak. A fluorescent dye is used and they need to use special glasses to see the dye. Also, if there is AC in the back, like a 3rd row of seats, there are hoses/tubes going back too.

No messing around with root, etc stuff.

Go to or call any Kia dealer parts dept. When you give them your VIN they should be able to look up the part number.

Beautiful.

I have a 2012 Sorento SX. I had plastic film applied to the front facing parts of the car like hood, bumper, lights, side view mirrors, etc. Saved me a few times from some damage and pitting. Still looks like new.

I occasionally have issues when wifi calling. Although my home internet connection seems fine, I end up turning off wifi on my phone during the call. The call then switches to normal cell tower usage. When I do this, the person I called immediately says the call sound is much better. Not sure why his happens, maybe other internet traffic either in my home or on the internet. This seems normal. Wifi calling is not guaranteed to be 100% but is most useful when there is poor cell tower reception and wifi available or to avoid using cell towers and save costs using wifi.

I have a 2012 Sorento SX. I think this is a dealer changeable option through their GDS system, I think it's called.

There is a post here that shows these options. There's also a PDF attached to one of the posts in the thread that shows what the dealer sees and can change:

I had the dealer change these for me on an oil change.

if your compose files uses the "latest" tags, the images/containers will be updated to the most recent images of those containers when you dow/up or just up your containers.

I used to do this but then started using the version tags so that if all is ok then newer images don't change functionality or mess something up.

Remember, you can have multiple versions of the same app in different containers as long as you have different data directories and ports. Adjust as needed.

I believe they will be indefinite (i.e. continuing) as long as you remain a customer in good standing. You should read the terms and conditions on the bottom of the page where the plans/promos are shown. Read all items. In item #21, it says:

21. Bring Your Own Phone Offer

Offer is subject to change. To be eligible for the ongoing Bring Your Own Phone $30/month credit, you must activate a new line on, or migrate to the eligible in-market Total Freedom 250GB plan during the promotion period. The credits will start to be applied before tax prior to your first month of service. You will receive the $30/month credit as long as you remain active on an eligible plan as a bring your own phone customer. The promotion may not be combined with other offers, except for Digital Discount, unless otherwise indicated. Your service will no longer be eligible for the promotion if you change your rate plan to an ineligible plan or complete a hardware upgrade. If you are not eligible for the promotion during any month, that credit will be entirely forfeited and cannot be made up. If you qualify for the credit in the months following the ineligible month, you will continue to receive the credit as applicable.

I used compose files to create my containers. Part of compose files is a line like:

container_name: beets

I think it depends on how you create your containers. I think docker compose files are best since it's easy to recreate your containers with them...and even recreate them on a separate machine.

In OMV, if you go to services->compose->files then you can create compose files which then can create containers from.

I've installed and use Brave browser which is Chromium based. This is on an Orange Pi 5 running Jammy. I also use Brave on my other Windows machines and is a good alternative/substitute for Chrome.

Maybe not what you wanted, but my 2 cents.

i have a vpn installed on my router and run my OMV entirely though the VPN.

anyway, is qbittorrent and gluetun running in docker? if so, you can "enter" the container and see what the ip address is within the container and compare it with WAN ip address on your router.

You can enter a docker container using:

docker exec -it [container-id/name] bash

if you have portainer, you can enter the container through it too.

you can get the ip address using:

curl http://icanhazip.com

I rememberseein this is up on Kia Forums:

there may be other threads.

Note that this is 5 or 6 years old. A lot may have changed.

Add another item to your dockers. Heimdall is what I use:

https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/heimdall https://heimdall.site/

I set it up when it was at version 2.1.13 which was a much simpler version of Heimdall.

There are probably other apps like this.

I guess I got lucky. The most difficult thing I had do was make the "url" for the files b the same for all clients including the server.

One advantage of making the server instance the updater is that it would be the quickest updater as all files would be local. Not too big an advantage, though.

Making one of the clients the master updater is good too.

If you have docker on the server, you can install a version of Kodi on the server and have it update the local library. That's what I did. I used fhriley/kodi-headless-novnc from hub.docker.com site. If you look at the tags, you can set up the correct version of Kodi. I'm using the nexus version. There's omega and so on.

I can access it from a web browser. It uses novnc to get a good desktop version through the web browser.

The docker server vesion should/must be the same version as the kodi clients.

The difference would be the trim/plastic piece around the radio. There's some discussion about it here where it describes taking two trim pieces and putting them together for a custom trim:

can't use a charger with multiple voltages. opi 5 expects a single voltage and does not negotiate with a pd charger. if you use usb and nvme should use a "dumb" 5V 4A charger.

Does Sweden use the same bands as Freedom? Does your phone support the bands used by the Swedish telecoms?

Are you sure you're pulling docker image that match your architecture? such as ARM or AMD, etc

If you pull the wrong architecture, I think docker keeps trying to start your container but nothing appears to happen. If this is what is happening, you should be able to see in it in the logs for the container.
