8 days agoIt seems some people in the comments of the post have said there are issues with their installations after upgrading to 2024.12.0. I might recommend waiting for .1 if you’re not too fussed about having the brand newest software.

4·26 days agoI tried to cross post it here: https://lemmy.world/post/22093917
Not sure if I did it correctly, though
I don’t think so, I had to go in and do the song and dance with changing a config file. Reposting this comment here for posterity.
- Delete
.kobo/KoboReader.sqlite(if you are already signed in). - Restart Kobo
- DO NOT tap “Set up over wi-fi”. Press the other one and connect it to a computer.
- Go to
.kobo/Kobo/Koboreader.config(or something like that) - Open the config file and under
[], write on a new line:SideloadedMode=true. - If you did not do steps 1 and 2, delete
.kobo/KoboReader.sqlite. - Eject and restart ereader.
- Yay! You just bypassed registration!
- Delete
Not without significant hurdles due to Amazon’s (very intentionally crafted) walled garden. You’re locked in by the file format as well as Amazon’s DRM. If you do anything to bypass this, it’s technically illegal as a violation of the DMCA.
My last eReader purchase was the Kobo Clara 2E and it’s fantastic. I got one for my dad as well. I love the fact that you can use it completely offline and without any account.
Then they announced a partnership with IFixIt, and that cemented for me (barring any changes), that my next eReader will also be another Kobo… though with this partnership I expect that to be a long time down the road.
This is what I use on my Raspberry Pi. It’s a USB dongle.
I really hate the use of quotes “for emphasis”
9·1 month agoIt doesn’t help our friends in the EU, but I’m hopeful that the CFPB’s “Open Banking” rules might actually make it possible to do this with an open source product with OAuth and common APIs rather than these aggregators that are just web scraping your bank.
I’ve heard others recommend Low End Box before but I have no experience, so do some due diligence before selecting any of these!
I started with the 2020 tutorial from these guys. They’ve updated it a few times through the years so I can’t speak to how good the new version is, but I’m sure it’s probably plenty to get started.

After I followed this guide, I’ve deviated significantly as I learned and started to do my own thing. It’s a great place to start and learn the basics of containerized applications and once you have that then you can host most things that are dockerized. All I need to do now to start up a new service is pull up the README on Docker Hub (or better yet, if LinuxServer.io has a container that does what I want to do, on their website), figure out what I want to do with the variables and any setup that needs to happen, and then I add it to my .yml and start it up!
I’ve got it all tracked now on GitHub so I can see what I’ve changed and when and if something were to go wrong I could revert back to a known-good configuration.
5·2 months agoI think the reason why regular store bought gizmos won’t let you decrypt it is because content can require HDCP to make sure you don’t gain access to the data. If there were a device at Best Buy that just bypassed this, I think the DMCA and rights holders would come down hard on the seller.
I’ve heard of gizmos from shadier places may be able to decrypt the data but it’s likely because they’re acting outside of the law.

Specifically, you can “share” it to yourself, open that link in an incognito tab, then strip out everything but the user and video id

You have to do the same thing with Amazon a.co links I think
Bitwarden exports passkeys when using the .json export format
They all have a system for keeping track of that, I know iCloud automatically assigns a URL to each based on where you created it, or Fastmail (which I use) has a comment field and automatically tags each email as it comes to your inbox.
It takes more than zero effort to create it, so it’s too much effort for my wife, but I absolutely love it.
There’s really nothing to be done about the compromised email address, but I would really recommend using a service that creates unique email addresses per service that you sign up for to mitigate the blast radius when one service gets pwned. It takes a long while, but thankfully privacy laws are stronger now and it’s easier to force a company to either delete your information or change the email they have for you.
Some potential services to consider include:

Yeah it’s very surprising to me as well. As a life-long resident of one of the states mentioned, having lived in both major cities as well and small-medium towns, I don’t think I’ve experienced this “aggression”
I set mine to

Especially since this seems to be a big one what with the upgrade to python 3.13
