I've spent the day trying to get this setup working with GitHub and given the number of gotcha's I encountered, it seemed like a good idea to document how I finally got this working with as few hacks as possible. There's a lot of documentation out there (some of it old and misleading) and committing here for posterity will help me remember this when I inevitably need to do this again.

Rationale

Passwords are simply not enough these days. Regardless of the company, breaches (and the associated Personally Identifiable Information harvested) are a matter of not if, but when.

Go-Language implementation of an SSH Reverse Tunnel, the equivalent of below SSH command:

   ssh -R 8080:127.0.0.1:8080 operatore@146.148.22.123

Convenient DeDRM Scripts
-------------------------

**NOTE**: read https://blog.quaintous.com/2021/02/16/remove-drm-from-ebooks/ to find out what this gist is good for.

* ./init.sh:	extracts Adobe Digital Editions private key and required files to DeDRM.
* ./dedrm:	removes DRM from given ebook (pdf/epub)

If you are using this for the first time, make sure that you have authenticated your Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) and run './init.sh'. Import any DRM-protected file into ADE and run 'dedrm.sh':
