Can you still get access to a Linux machine for a bit of work when you first power it on?

Check your PM messages.

PM me if you have any questions, since we have stopped publishing lessons for Lab126.

You should make a secret subforum that is invitational only. Invite me when you do

https://www.gunshi.org
("Rolling Rock" as in "gathers no moss" not about the Beer.)

At least that may be where it will be - I have to re-purpose that site's content first.

Cool

Spoiler:

^That is my secret agent self

Re-purposing that site has the added advantage that we can always blame "it" on the Chinese.

It **was** for a Chinese client, once upon a time.

[Glorfindel]

heh, yeah, there you go.

OK, C007 - -

The secrets revealed, at least enough to see how the site publishes files to the general public.

I still need to make time (maybe this weekend) to scrub the site of references to the prior (commercial) client.

But as a trial example:

- - - -

The proposed "invitation only" site has a main landing page, a twobob original, behind an authorization panel.

Behind the landing page, the site resources are provided by four different applications.
The menu bar at the top of the landing page represents those four sections.

The links orbiting the rolling rock are just additional links into various sections of the four main applications.
If you can catch one, you can try it.

Each of the four different applications requires a username/password to gain access.
I.E: None of them share the landing page's username/password.

Domain: https://gunshi.org
Landing page user: MR.Secret
Landing page password: KT2PW2KV (you should be able to remember that, its the topic)
All that currently gets you is a chance to see the fancy landing page.

Even though you can not access the "Files" section of the site;
The filer can be set to publish files without access to the filer application itself.
(Although you have to get past the above privacy panel at least once per day.)

As in:
https://gunshi.org/pyd/data/public/8df81d.php
Password: MR.Secret
Published for only the next three days.
No limits on the number of downloads, just please don't beat my server to death.
Its a picture of my dogs, just as a working example.

All of the above only works over https, if you try http, the server will correct you.

One other note -
The above is a publicly posted download link, but this filer can also send out (e-mail) "invitation to download" messages which only work for the recipient.

I've just got the KV as well. Would be interested in JB to port my Cool Reader application. Subscribing to this thread =)

If your not afraid of using the serial port, then it has already been done:

You better not hold your breath for a "closed Kindle" JB on the 2014 devices.
Amazon is getting serious about keeping the owners out. We may be at the end of "closed Kindle" jailbreaking.
from lab126 to everyone else on the planet.

So unless someone gets VERY lucky ....

Thanks for the information. I understand. At least Kindles now officially support Russian, one less reason for JB.

as long as we can connect via serial, we can JB? or does that not have to be true?
and wow, good luck with gunshi!

Well this is a depressing prognostication -- and may tip the balance in favor of returning my Kindle Voyage (marginal screen improvement over my PW2 is outweighed by not having screensaver and font hacks). I presume this forecast means you found someone with Linux to do an initial boot of their KV and it didn't help or suggest possible JB pathways?
