How to remove DRM from ACSM files directly on the Remarkable 2 tablet (generate PDF or EPUB files), via the command line

Unfinished tutorial: Sorry, I really wanted to get this working, but hit an issue getting the proper versions of the library to work on the remarkable itself. I ended up compiling knock on Linux and running it that way. But then, I hit other issues with the type of DRM and account limits, so it seems this is still a tortured area

This tutorial uses the following method to remove DRM from ebooks directly on the remarkable tablet (after installing toltec):

If you don't want to bother self-compiling, for the armv7l remarkable 2, here is a prebuilt binary!

# this program implements a Trie using a dict,
# by treating sub-dictionaries as sub-trees,
# eg. {"d": {"o": {"g": "END"}, "a": "END"}}
# ^ the Trie accepts the words "dog" and "da"

Pokémon Red and Blue ROM Patches with Slowed Down Music

These are patches for Red/Blue that are built with their music tempo slowed down 2x and 4x. This is done by changing this line in the decompilation (to HIGH(\1 * 2), LOW(\1 * 2) or HIGH(\1 * 4), LOW(\1) * 4).

This creates a slightly better experience if you use 2x or 4x speed up / fast forwarding in an emulator, so that the sound isn't just a cacophony of sped up noises. It's not perfect though!

Yet another How to Create a Windows 11 Install USB from Ubuntu Linux or Mac

Creating a Windows 11 Install USB in 2022

I have been installing Windows for a long time. Does it get easier? I want to say it gets easier, but it seems like there's always some new wrinkle! These instructions are as much a note to my future self as they may be useful to anyone else.

For me, I was not able to get any exfat-based installs, or even any of the GUI helpers to make this process any more straightforward. Maybe on your target Windows / host OS those helpers will work, but the below process (as of current year) is consistent, and not overly complicated.

Overview:

  1. Downloading an official ISO image from MS:
  2. Formatting the drive (at least 8GB) as GPT, and one FAT-format partition (aka MS-DOS)
