Good morning Fedi friends and happy Monday!
Since I haven't done much self-hosting-wise lately (more on this another time) I decided to... jailbreak my old Kindle(s)!
I was a little terrified to be honest. But the whole process took LESS THAN A MINUTE.
So after my spare Kindle (a 5th gen from 2012), I'm on to my main one (a 4th gen from 2011, my oldest gadget that I still use daily).
Later this week I will "liberate" my audiobooks!
Wishing you all a great day and week 😎

@elena wow, just yesterday I did that and was asking the fedi what cool things one could do with jailbroken kindle.
So far I've found this page
https://github.com/KindleTweaks/Awesome-Kindle
What cool things do yo plan to do now with them now that they're jailbroken? I'm looking for inspiration :)

@j3j5 thank you for the awesome link!
I just did it to be able to add e-books from any kind of store (not just Amazon) and have my own custom screensavers.
No advanced modding for now, just the simple stuff 😊

@elena @j3j5 To be fair, you could add boks from any store already, you just had to convert them to a supported format (which, granted, is hard if the books you try to convert come with DRM).
Calibre (a neat little library management software) does many thing, and one of them is converting ebooks. And it supports outputting ebooks in the two format supported by kindles (azw3 and mobi)

@elena Unrelated, but we should live stream a Docker 101 session on the Fediverse (PeerTube?) sometime to get you up to speed.

@shollyethan aw yes! but a little confession: I moved my Ghost blog to Magic Pages so that I don't have to get a full education of how to do Docker. It was just beyond my sphere of comprehension (and Magic Pages is CHEAPER than Mailgun + a VPS plan).
Now with that big blue whale off my back I can turn my curiosity elsewhere... like: FreeBSD for example 🤗 -

@elena What does it do for you? Instructions?

@antoine_ali @j3j5 thanks! I have had Calibre for a loooooong time (and admittedly forgot about it). I just wanted to free up my sweet little Kindle from Amazon, install custom wallpapers and the like... 🤗

@elena Neat! I wonder if i have my old kindle lying around somewhere. Jailbreaking is such a satisfying experience.

@derek YES! And old Kindles with buttons are THE BEST IMHO! I have a case with built in light to make up for the lack of backlight...
I had purchased a newer Kindle in 2022 that died on me within a year (rough treatment by my then toddler). But I had never taken a liking to it because of the lack of buttons and the need to swipe the edge of the screen to turn the page.
Now I'm just glad to have these 13+ year old Kindles with buttons to play with. The battery life on both is still great :)

@kenobit credo di esprimere il pensiero di tutti gli ascoltatori dicendo che c'è un incredibile calore nell'ascoltare questi temi con questa voce. Che è proprio il motivo per cui va letto questo libro, uscire dagli aridi numeri degli algoritmi proprietari e riprendeci cura della nostra identità digitale, per usare le tue parole. Molto belle anche le inflessioni della voce quando qualcosa ti fa ridere o ti fa riflettere. La voce dà tridimensionalità al contenuto. Grazie grazie grazie.

L'irragionevole efficacia della trasformata di Fourier
La tecnologia fondamentale alla base di quasi tutte le moderne telecomunicazioni radio: l'Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, o OFDM. Le interfacce radio modulate tradizionalmente soffrono di un'ampia varietà di problemi. Alcune interfacce radio diventano molto confuse se la portante non è centrata dove dovrebbe essere; alcune interfacce radio forniscono un elevato tasso di errore sui canali rumorosi; alcune interfacce radio soffrono del "digital cliff" nella ricevibilità; alcune interfacce radio utilizzano un'ampia larghezza di banda e sono molto sensibili al fading di canale non uniforme; alcune interfacce radio non tollerano il multipath (segnali che rimbalzano durante il percorso verso un ricevitore); alcune interfacce radio a banda larga vengono completamente silenziate anche da un singolo tono di interferenza; e l'elenco potrebbe continuare. Per ciascuno di questi problemi, è stata condotta un'enorme quantità di ricerca sulle mitigazioni per le modulazioni in stile AM e FM, e ciascuna di queste mitigazioni è diventata computazionalmente impegnativa e difficile da scalare a velocità di trasmissione dati più elevate. Con l'avvento delle modulazioni derivate da OFDM, tuttavia, quasi tutti questi problemi vengono risolti in modo molto efficiente in un colpo solo! Sembra magia, ma in realtà è molto comprensibile, almeno se non si cerca di leggerlo su un arido libro di testo.

È stato definito un "simpatizzante del terrorismo". Ora la sua azienda di intelligenza artificiale è valutata 3 miliardi di dollari.
Da quando Masad si è sentito in dovere di parlare apertamente di Gaza, denunciando coloro che, nel mondo della tecnologia, a suo avviso hanno sostenuto il "genocidio" del popolo palestinese da parte di Israele. Ha imparato rapidamente quanto questa opinione fosse impopolare nella Silicon Valley.

@informapirata esatto. Sono "...l'unica nazione della storia che sia passata direttamente dalla barbarie alla decadenza senza aver mai conosciuto la civiltà".
-
@G3rt se posso, è molto peggio della barbarie: la barbarie indica un tracollo causato da un cataclisma o dall'invasione di popolazioni incivili che provengono da un qualche altrove. Qui invece c'è una sorta di collasso autoimmune dovuto completamente da cause endogene!

Well, the Republican politicians already botched a clearcut impeachment after he instigated a coup on Jan 6th.The Republican party is a clown show. They will never impeach him. They will let him off the hook again.
