Whenever this question comes up I see myanonamouse recommended as a private tracker.

I just wanted to throw in that there is also a tracker called abtorrents which hosts audiobooks and ebooks, though I believe most or all of them are english.

I cannot speak as to the selection between those two unfortunately.

Does the skin effect apply here?

Not all devices can play av1. You will still shoot pictures and videos in 264 or 265. Can you already edit av1? Do you do that? Check that everything you own and do can work with av1. You should prefer 265 over 264 nowadays.

The default windows 10 installation for example can't even handle h265 -.-

Zum Lieferverkehr: Ich finde es für kleinere Dinge super wenn die zu einer Packstation geliefert werden und dann zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad abgeholt werden. Das spart Zeit für den Fahrer und Kradtstoff weil er nicht für jedes Paket irgendwohin fahren muss und beim ausliefern den Motor laufen lässt.

Honestly I kind of like that building for its uniqueness. I would love to see it in some form of solarpunk style where it is mostly overgrown with plants

Maybe I missed a paragraph but did you try a new temperature sensor?

That would seem like a logical error source for me when the reported temperature does not match the actual result. Or maybe there is an issue with the thermistor calibration? Is the thermistor type set correctly in your klipper config file?

This is what I use for youtube on my android tv. Works mostly great although I recently had some stuttering during playnack that I have yet to find the cause of

That's the fun thing about the Kobo being linux based. Once you get shell access the flood gates are open. I transfer my books over SFTP instead of plugging in USB everytime and then execute the book scan from NickelMenu.

Here is the link to the forum post of the autoshelf mod. It says its for the Aura but I have it working on the Clara 2E and I believe someone reported it also working on the Libra or whatever the 7 inch model was called.

It's a simple to install but unfortunately a bit fiddly in my opinion. When you plug the reader in via usb, a symbol appears on the device screen that you can tap to run autoshelf upon usb disconnect. Unfortunately it only works on books that have already been added to the device, so you have to plug your reader in twice. Once to transfer the books and a second time to run autoshelf on the added books.

I also use NickelMenu in which I added a button to run autoshelf without having the USB plugged in. My script works by pretending the USB was plugged in, thereby showing me the usb screen and allowing me to tap the autoshelf symbol and then waiting for around 10-15 seconds before "unplugging" the USB again which causes the autoshelf to execute.

Oh yes, the organization is inconvenient if you sideload stuff. The tolino I had automatically grouped books in the same folder into a collection.

I managed to get something similar working with the autoshelf mod on the kobo but it is inconvenient that it is not a default feature. On the upside, I can also use the autoshelf mod to parse series information based on the books filename.

On the topic of modding, I believe kobos use an sd card internally for storage which you can technically change for a much larger one but that requires opening the device, cloning the existing card and expanding the filesystsm. Not to mention that the water resistance will most likely suffer from that process

Thanks, that's interesting to know. Personally I never had an issue with the 16GB but I mainly read epubs so space isn't that much of a concern for me. I can see why that would be different on a color model which would also be used for comic books.

If you don't like kobo, which brand do you prefer? My previous reader was a tolino, which nowadays is almost the same hardware as a kobo but android based instead of linux. Personally I much prefer the kobo over that one.

Goddammit why did you have to show me that kobo now sells a color e-reader? I just bought the Clara 2E last year. Is that one rebranded now to the Clara BW or is that a new model?

Anyway, how is the color display? I looked into color ereaders a year or so ago and the general consensus was that the tech wasn't really ready
