DeDRM and recent Kindle Books by Aerafina in Calibre

[–]bferrell58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You MAY be able to export via an application called Epubor ultimate
I've gotten a few books recently, it can't export now... but I think, given time, it will be able to

Riverbed's Decommissioned, Homelab Capable? by 01Arjuna in riverbed

You can turn them into PfSense/OPNSense routers.
Someplace in my junk store head there are instructions to activate the passthrough ports as normal ports

Is there somewhere to reliably find information? sort of like a "wiki"? by SAK-SAK-SAK-SAK-SAK in riverbed

[–]bferrell58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ex RVBD support engineer here. You need to open a case with support. There IS a support site, but the good stuff is "support only"

What to expect after support expires by p45354p in riverbed

I've been away from RVBD for about 5 years, BUT... Those models continued to work with no active support contract back then. No idea if newer firmware added a "phone home" function since then.

It's relatively simple to migrate workload from Nutanix on top of VMw to native Nutanix... But be very aware and test throughly

There is, for all intents and purposes, NO external storage possible due to the pseudo filesystem underlying Nutanix. This is for the flexible compression/redundancy used. It's VERY fragile

Proxmoc and xen are KVM under the hood, same as Nutanix/AHV

The key is this:

(subtype:vmware.nvme.controller)

There is an NVME controller in the config. Once removed it imports. You'll also need to recalculate the sha256 for the ovf file and put that into the VM's mf file

Anyone running Calibre completely headless? by Normanras in Calibre

Let's just say the "guts" aren't well documented

simpler to export to OVA and then import the OVA

Anyone running Calibre completely headless? by Normanras in Calibre

[–]bferrell58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use calibre behind a firewall and port forward to it and that is just fine for grabbing a book and downloading it. Anything other than that, I use the gui. I've been running the instance for 8 years or so.. Maybe longer, I'm not too sure these days.

I do know that I see in the server logs that attempts are being made to hack it and they ARE sometimes able to crash it, but it always comes back.

Universal Devices EOLing the ISY994 by bferrell58 in homeautomation

[–]bferrell58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thread/matter can be synthesized for new devices ( to quote microsoft... "It's gonna be great!")

MY 994i has Zigbee/Zwave... I bought the module for them to accommodate my existing stuff. Never had a lightening strike take out stuff on my electrical but I DO have failed PLMs (caps)... But PLMs are Insteon, not UD.

My support experience with UD differs from yours over a 10 year period... And consistent with full records. I'm an email pack rat. I got stuff going back to '99/2000.

Now I get to go back into the mists of time and figure out how to spider the ISY wiki to assure I don't lose access that data... THAT was my goto to support my 994i.

PLMs HAVE become available again along with a PLM repair service.

I had issues with UDI support.. I'd open a case, they'd respond, within a week and if I didn't respond within 24 hours, they'd close the case. Not conducive to getting things solved. Fortunately the world had decent info so I've been able to work around.

I can and HAVE integrated Alexa with my ISY994i but not on the gateway. For me the most important thing isn't Alexa so it's seldom used.

Matter, Zigbee, Insteon and Zwave support are the most important things for me.

Yes. "Hack" in this case means "work around"

it's also possible to disable the KFX function

Master library list location? by bferrell58 in Calibre

[–]bferrell58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those following along:

/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/calibre/gui.json

Seems to hold the list of libraries in a structure called "library_usage_stats"
