Hey everyone,

I wrote a small neofetch-like tool for Kindle. It's a single static binary (~465KB) written in Rust. Just drop it on your Kindle and run it, no dependencies needed.

What it shows:

Code:

 _  ___         _ _
| |/ (_)_ _  __| | |___
| ' <| | ' \/ _` | / -_)
|_|\_\_|_||_\__,_|_\___|
root@kindle
-----------
device: Kindle Basic 4 (2022)
os: Kindle 5.16.2.1.1
kernel: 4.9.77-lab126
resolution: 1072x2896
uptime: 1h 10m
shell: sh
cpu: ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) (2)
memory: 343M / 474M
disk (user): 4.2G / 13.4G (31%)
local ip: 10.45.2.49
tailscale: 100.114.118.55
battery: 46% [Discharging]

It identifies your device model from the serial number.

There's also a --full flag for debug/diagnostic info, handy when posting for help here:

Code:

kinfetch --full

Adds: serial (masked), board ID, WiFi MAC, firmware ABI (armel vs armhf), jailbreak method, battery voltage/temp, KOReader version, and installed KUAL extensions.

The name would have been "kindlefetch" but that's already taken by another project that... let's not talk about.

Feedback welcome!
