Apple Books export

Apple does something weird with .epubs that you add to Apple Books. Here's how to recover them back after you import them.

Where do your books live

Your books reside here, but they aren't actually epubs.

~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud\~com\~apple\~iBooks/Documents

GDB using Docker and Colima

You need to create a privileged container, with SYS_PTRACE capabilities and host PID, so you can access all the PIDs in the host (in my case, Colima VM).

docker run --privileged --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE --pid=host --name gdb-docker -it ubuntu:latest bash

Within the container:
