  • I managed to do it somehow without a kindle but it was an absolute pain in the ass. For my first few books I had to download then using a specific old version of the kindle desktop app so that calibre was able to remove the encryption. Apparently the encryption used by the newer kindle desktop app is different.

    For my next books that suddenly wasn’t enough and I had to use an old android app version in an emulator and get the books out of the hidden app storage using adb.

    I’m never buying an ebook of amazon again if I can avoid it




  • I can’t turn it off because none of the lightbulbs in the house would turn on anymore

    Personally I try to avoid making anything in my home actually dependant on my server. I have a single lamp that can only be controlled from my phone and that’s only because it’s so rarely used that I didn’t want to put in the effort. Everything else is local first and only gets extended functionality from my server running.

    I’ve had a couple issues with my zigbee stuff over the years on the server side and I would be really pissed if I wouldn’t be able to turn my lights on because I haven’t gotten around to fixing my server yet.
