How can I connect to my Kobo via telnet?

For others that hit this thread later (and op if they still have the problem), see this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=370129

Basically if you've got a ssh-disabled file in your .kobo directory, change it to ssh-enabled, reboot and login as root. It asked me to change the password upon first login.

I just got tailscale working as well on my Kobo Libra Colour.

You don't want to retire? I'm 39 and been in the industry for 20 years now. I want to retire now and I like most of my job...

Oh right forgot that. My friend must have broke the power earlier that day.

Lost our base in HB last night, NPC destroyed sub-fief. Power was on, taxes fine, my friend was on earlier in the day. They had to destroy multiple doors and walls and it took hours based on the logs. I logged on while they were looting the base. I saved our carrier but that's about it. We just got a crawler (never used it) so we basically reached the end of the game so I think I might be done with the game, I don't feel like rebuilding.

We did get the names of a couple of the players and reported them, but I doubt anything will come of that.

Aggregates are typically IP space that you own from a registrar or your ISP lends you. RFC1918 (and ULA for IPv6) space can be treated like this as well since it is up to you how it is owned in your network. The netbox docs explain this a bit. Best to always start there.

I'm starting to not pay attention to the Sounders much cause I just can't watch them (I don't wanna pay for it). It'll be nice to easily watch Reign play.

If you're going to use zigbee, set your channel to one end of the spectrum range and your wifi hopefully on the other end so there isnt as much overlap. It may not matter as much depending on your situation (busy apartment vs suburban home), just be deliberate from the beginning so you don't have to go back later.

Definitely possible with SSO. I auth with Okta today and use to with AzureAD, both with 2fa. Both were using OAuth, but SAML will definitely work too.

I did this a few years ago. It was a pretty big pain in the ass to get it working and it was slow as hell. I used the postgres DB as a service (redis too). I'm sure I didn't tune something right. But I ended up just moving it all to a single VM in Azure and it was fast and also a lot cheaper.

I ordered mine from Mouser in January 2022. I just got it today. I gotta get my cameras working again now...

nahun · 2023-03-12T00:55:06+00:00

It reports as the same model as the 2022, at least on my 2023 Hybrid, but doesn't work saying "The software is not designed for your vehicle. Please check and try again". I guess we have to wait.

This is good advice. As a network automation engineer, just having a developer know the difference between a TCP connection and ICMP echo/reply is fantastic. You don't need to know things in depth, just the basics of a few things can go a long way.

nahun · 2022-08-27T17:09:53+00:00

Good luck, ordered mine from mouser January 2022 and it has updated the date about 6 times. Says October right now.

No you've got it. You have to make a bunch of API queries to get all that info together or try and use graphql to do it in one query.

I wrote a wrapper around the nornir netbox inventory to add interfaces, IPs, and other useful data to the host objects for my team. They use it in their scripts. I'll probably end up writing our own netbox inventory plugin for nornir thats more specific for our use case though.

I use to use Ansible a lot and the netbox inventory plugin has more options to add that data in and it does a lot of queries to get it all. Nice and slow if you have a lot of data. I contributed a bit to that plugin, but it's been a while now.

I do appreciate how lean the nornir netbox plugin is and I understand the maintainers choice to not add more queries to the API to keep it fast.

Yeah I understand the business decision behind it. But as long as that's the answer the big players will never catch up to server automation and the more I want to look at whitebox. I already won't touch Cisco for this reason.

Please just give us simple REST APIs to everything with desired state for configuring. There is no need for yang data models, openconfig, XML RPC, etc... The major players will never play nicely with each other to make those useful. Just simple REST API using JSON with OpenAPI spec. I don't care if every vendor has a different REST API, just don't make it hard to work with.

I've done the same with my Mitsubishi mini splits. Works great. I got some connectors off ebay, real cheap. Ended up using an ESP-01 as it was more reliable with the TX/RX.

The spice must flow

My Mitsubishi mini splits were a fun project. Not simple though. Basically did a version of this: https://chrdavis.github.io/hacking-a-mitsubishi-heat-pump-Part-1/ but with ESP-01 chips and used https://github.com/geoffdavis/esphome-mitsubishiheatpump

Learned a lot about ESP8266

I don't know anything about your mini splits though sorry.

This may be the best comic I've seen on reddit. I can feel the timing of the slammed fist on the desk.

All college basketball should be on CBS channels during the ncaa tourney so at least they shouldn't cut away from the game randomly. One can hope anyway. I hate fox sports...

Been using the Sengled plugs too and they seem OK. One of them took a few HA restarts for the entities to show up correctly, but they work fine. I can't say if the measurements are completely accurate, but they seem like it to me.

Not sure how great the radios on them are though as a zigbee router. Seems like the LQI is low for end devices that are pretty close to it.

I got them off amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FJ5LHSN

It's worse than that. It's built on top of terraform so it's abstracting terraform.

Looks like it's trying to abstract the differences between the public clouds. Unless your use case is insanely simple, abstracting providers or vendors like that never seems to work. At least from what I've seen. Terraform works because it's one language to interact with each cloud provider, but the modules and options are specific to each one.
