Hey I’m seeing horror stories of people’s kindles suddenly updating and undoing their jailbreak and losing access to koreader. Then I see people saying “well that’s why you gotta make sure you do the hotfix correctly.” And I’m like, okay, cool, I ran the hotfix when I jailbroke my kindle. But then I go onto kindle forge and see HotfixUpdater, and I asked about it on the koreader sub and people are like “well yeah of course you gotta update the hotfix maybe, probably. Otherwise you could maybe potentially most likely lose your jailbreak at possibly any time.”

Somebody eli5 and breakdown everything I actually need to do to make sure I don’t lose my library. How often do I need to update KoReader? How often do I need to update the hotfix with HotfixUpdater? Is there anything else I need to be keeping up with? My kindle is always connected to wifi bc I’m frequently translating text. Sometimes I put the kindle down and don’t touch it for months at a time. Are these risk factors? What’s the full straight dope on all possible points of failure and failure prevention?

Thanks in advance!<3

A few months ago I was regularly using Anna’s Archive with JDownloader to fill up my ereader library, was working great. Just fired it up again to get some more books and none of the links from the wiki are loading. They all freeze my browser (safari, Firefox, librewolf, same result) and my computer will start to run hot and the fans start wheezing. I am using AdGuard DNS apparently without issue.

I also see that JDownloader was compromised. I skimmed through the relevant thread, and I see people saying to check which version of JDownloader you’re running to make sure it’s not the compromised version, but can’t find it stated clearly anywhere *which* versions are safe and which are compromised. Only people saying to check.

Is this even still an issue, or has this been resolved?

Thanks in advance. Hoping to get my epub situation streamlined and functional again!<3

I’m seeing HotfixUpdater in KindleForge, but I wasn’t under the impression the hotfix was something that needed to be updated, and I’m having a hard time finding any information on the subject.
