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

@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 🤗 -

@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... 🤗

@jalefkowit imagine Star Trek IV but instead of selling a pair of antique reading glasses at the pawn shop to get late 20th century earth money, Kirk sold an antique beanie baby to get late 20th century earth money at a flea market
