How I bricked then recovered my reMarkable 2

Let me start by saying that the reMarkable 2 is a great device. I’ve wanted something like this for a long time: a relatively device that runs Linux with an eInk screen and the ability to write on that screen with a pen. The reMarkable 2 delivers: I can ssh into it, and there’s a whole bunch of people writing code for it. I find I’m using it a lot.

Unfortunately, the fact that I can ssh into it leads to the first part of this post.

    I just re-tried the site [operand.ca] and it (still) worked for me.

    Gotta love HTTPS. If the solution to a problem is a bigger problem, then perhaps it wasn't the solution after all. Currently it's not even delivering confidentiality, because there's no availability. Then again, with no data communicated, there's no integrity being delivered either. Final score: 0/3. This is not delivering any of the promises of security, therefore it is not security.
