on E-readers: Kobo vs Boox? · c/books · 2 pts · 261d

We have a Kobo Clara and a Pocketbook Touch Lux 5 in our house. Neither are color so I can’t speak to that, but both are usable offline with wired file transfer support, which was our main requirement. And decent privacy. Though I can’t speak to Boox, I will be considering another Kobo if the Pocketbook ever dies.

Feature-wise they are a bit different, like rmk has support for Bluetooth and wireless split configurations. But is also lacking some things like display support. The reasons I went with it were for native vial support, easy configuration for the rp2040, and stupid easy pin and keymap setup. I had never written firmware for a new board before this and had a working build in not even an hour after reading the docs.

Have you tried running cyberpunk and vortex through bottles? I’ve had some success with it where some games just fail with lutris.

I can’t speak too much to public instances, but I’ve self hosted invidious for several months now just for use in my own house. My understanding is if you make your instance public, anyone who knows your IP or URL could use it and your bandwidth.

I recommend the docker install, it’s easy to map data paths and ports as needed.

I wasn’t really in to music until a friend introduced me to Dragonforce. Little did I know that would be my gateway band to all sorts of metal genres. Depending on the mood I now mostly listen to atmo black, folk, prog, melo death, and of course power still holds a special place.
