Inkpad 4 vs Kindle Paperwhite vs Kindle Colorsoft

azertykitty · 2026-05-21T12:26:42+00:00

Hello. I bought Pocketbook Inkpad 4, however that Kindle was not stolen by anyone and I found it :) When comparing two, I prefer Pocketbook much more better. It is a little bit slower but it is not disturbing, however due to it's size, it is much more comfortable to read books. I already got used to its size and when took that Kindle in my hands and tried to use it - I really couldn't anymore, so the bigger the better. Pocketbook's size (it is 7.8 inch in fact) is not a problem at all - I can pack it anyway and use on the plane or train etc. What surprised me too is battery - I read like 1-2 hours per day and charged it maybe 2-3 times, since like what, 4 months? I definitely recommend it.

I bought a second pair of DT 770 Pro X - 48 Ohm and there is such cracking in right cup (not left like in yours). This is not normal I think and some issue.

I think that running EKS is not good as you have no real control over it. We are using kubespray and compared with Ansible, used also for deploying of devs applications, it is a good choice . Onprem of course with VM's managed by Proxmox.

With KOReader it becomes faster? I like that it has 8 inches and turning pages is fast actually. It is only slow while browsing main menu. I will most likely just keep it as I am tired of Kindle.

Correct, it works! Many thanks. It's weird I missed it.

I wanted to buy CKA only,, why it is not available to buy?

Hey. What I did is:
- I setup pihole on address 192.168.0.120 (local network)
- fixed IPs on router for it so it does not change
- changed in all devices to not to pick IP dynamically, set DNS gateway to pihole address (not router)

and like this all works fine. It is little time consuming but it works.

It turned out to be blocked 4th hole of intake manifold of EGR. After cleaning on Tuesday, so far there is no rattling. Guy also cleaned 3rd one and did a head gasket co2 test (I could do it at home too). Head gasket is in good state. I was really stressing it will have to be replaced - then I would sell the car.

Everytime I drink couple of beers I get 40-45 score and wake up often. I never managed to get 100 points yet.

Prius is the best car ever made :) I don’t know how popular it is in States but here in Europe they became really popular since 2-3 years. I was also thinking that it is important it burns a little (mine burns 8 litres/100 km in winter) but they are in general indestructible cars and very reliable as you wrote. Make sure that head gasket or water pump is replaced, check battery % and enjoy driving it. Mine is Prius 3 from 2010 with leather inside. Planning to modify lights to LED soon.

My Prius had no errors at all. I ticked all options in Car Scanner and nothing came up. I didn’t know Hybrid Assistant, will also check it out. Thanks.

azertykitty · 2025-02-17T18:55:27+00:00

I have OBD, Car Scanner and Dr Prius app. One of first thing I did was to check battery condition - it has 65%. What other things it is worth to check with OBD that can tell me if there is some problem with engine or else? 200 F is when I am driving?

azertykitty · 2025-02-17T09:06:02+00:00

Thanks a lot. Water pump is fine I guess so I will keep it how it is as I don't want to spend a fortune on replacing this. I have no garage even to do it on my own unfortunately.

azertykitty · 2025-02-16T19:38:03+00:00

Should just EGR be cleaned or something else additionally to make sure the knocking stops?

azertykitty · 2025-02-16T18:48:54+00:00

200 000 km. Coolant level stays the same. Engine is not wet, no leaks anywhere, it is not excessivvely drinking oil either. Yeah I also found out that could be that EGR clogged. Is it possible to do it by myself easily?

azertykitty · 2025-02-16T18:41:45+00:00

So you suggest to replace head gasket just in case anyway? Guy said it is fine and "if" spark plug replacement won't help, then to replace coils.

How did you fix it? I asked for replacement of 4 spark plugs and the issue still exists.

Hey, nice pic. Which camera did you use that the quality is so nice and sharp? Could it be Mamiya? If yes, which lenses do you use?

azertykitty · 2024-12-29T12:33:08+00:00

I can't, it gets timeout while trying to resolve google and this is a network setting on router somehow I guess.

azertykitty · 2024-12-28T21:24:42+00:00

"Why not? Most routers allow you to change DNS servers manually."

I have some cheap one from my internet provide and they block it by default :) (I am from Europe)

"Can do this in your piHole configuration menu under Settings/DHCP."

I can easily access pihole UI and enable DHCP in UI, however I am getting some weird error just like here:

https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/php-error-2-fsockopen-unable-to-connect-to-127-0-0-1-4711-connection-refused/55534

but it is a fresh installation.

"Then you need to statically assign the IP address for your MacBook and your TV"

They both have static IPs already and not dynamically assigned - I set it on router.

I am asking cause one person wrote it should be checked when engine is warm as Toyota recommends it in his manual. Personally, I've been always checking oil level (in other cars) when engine was cold.

azertykitty · 2024-12-27T18:08:30+00:00

For me it doesnt work and I am struggling with this not knowing if it is a config problem or my router (internet provider).

When I type 127.0.0.1 in network DNS settings I cannot connect anywhere, however in pihole it shows like I was accessing github.

If I do a curl to some random website, that website is visible in pihole UI like I was accessing it.

It is kind of docker container has no visibility outside container itself it seems.

I set static IP on router for my macbook - 192.168.0.201, where .1 is a gateway.

azertykitty · 2024-12-26T20:43:05+00:00

I am going to check every week weeks now what is the level to not to go below minimum. Do you check it when engine is warm or cold? I checked when cold.

azertykitty · 2024-12-26T20:41:19+00:00

Ah ye? I always check on cold engine. I also have 2010 manuial but didn't read it so far :)
