The exact error message:

The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

The fix:

(See here instead if running NSUI in Wine: https://gist.github.com/bmaupin/93d31e1b2d738ae656b9d3617e19622b)

1. Install .NET 4.6 (a later version may work, an earlier version such as .NET 4.5 will not)

Goal

Find a replacement for Llama (R.I.P. 😢)

Conclusion

🦙 Keep using Llama! 🦙

• Llama still works and no other application seems to match Llama in terms of ease of use and cell-tower location (Llama's killer feature)
• Cell-tower location UX seems to be unmatched by the alternatives (training new locations, ignoring towers, seeing location events)

Problem

Opening some .acsm files (e.g. those from archive.org) with Adobe Digital Editions will show the following error message: E_ADEPT_DOCUMENT_TOO_SHORT

Cause

Uncertain. Some have theorized it's because Adobe Digital Editions 2.0.1 requires .NET 3.5, which does not support TLS 1.2 out of the box.

There is a Windows patch to add TLS 1.2 support to .NET 3.5.1: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/support-for-tls-system-default-versions-included-in-the-net-framework-3-5-1-on-windows-7-sp1-and-server-2008-r2-sp1-5ef38dda-8e6c-65dc-c395-62d2df58715a

Incoming access from local network

Method	Docker iptables setting	Firewall on?	Accessible from local network
docker run --network=host -p 3306:3306	false	No	Yes
docker run --network=host -p 3306:3306	false	Yes	No
docker run -p 3306:3306	Default	Yes	⚠️ Yes
docker run -p 127.0.0.1:3306:3306	Default	Yes	No

An alternative option would be to leave the Docker iptables as the default, leave the firewall on, and modify iptables itself à la https://stackoverflow.com/a/51741599/399105

Using the stock firmware

1. Connect to the primary router and set the 2.4 GHz network to a specific channel
   • The channels must be the same for WDS to work
2. Connect to the router using a network cable
3. If you're running OpenWrt, you'll need to flash the stock firmware
   1. Download the latest firmware for your hardware version from TP-Link's website
   2. Strip the stock firmware using dd; see the steps here: https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr841nd#go_back_to_original_firmware
   3. Flash the stock firmware from LUCI
4. Browse to the stock firmware web interface (192.168.0.1)

This error may occur when using extundelete with -o:

extundelete: No such file or directory while creating directory

The problem is that -o expects a relative path to the current directory (not an absolute path). Either use -o with a relative path or remove -o.
