This is just a dump of some interesting undocumented features of webOS (3.8 specifically, on early 2018 4k LG TV) and other development-related tips.

Homebrew app ideas

OpenVPN frontend (OpenVPN itself is easily buildable and runs on webOS TVs: https://discord.com/channels/407937994037919756/835489130967859251/906943542457401395)
App autostart manager - dynamically update arbitrary app config and register it as input (see Registering an app as an input)
webos-vncserver frontend with autostart option
Package hyperiond into Piccap directly

Adding tailscale to an EdgeRouter (and surviving system upgrades)

I suggest you run sudo bash on all of these so you're the root user.

Installing

Download tailscale and put the files in /config/. Find the latest stable or unstable version for your EdgeRouter's processor (ex. ER4 is mips and ERX is mipself)

sudo bash    # if you havent already

Guide for using Ddrescue to recover data

Start command:

ddrescue -d /dev/sda output.img output.mapfile

NOTE: If direct disc access is not available in your system, try raw devices.

Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export your tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.
