No need to push beginners towards arch, they'll become curious and check it out just for the meme anyways

On an unrelated note, have you heard the good news about our Lord and Savior, NixOS?

For me personally, xdrip+.

Can't switch to a Linux phone unless I can measure my blood glucose :(

Thanks! Yep, same thought about the version checks. I'll spin up a VM for now and see if that allows for suitable experimentation, otherwise fingers crossed I don't brick the device.

The web-server thing is probably safer, agreed, but packaging my own update is just so much more tempting... :D

Oh whoops I thought you were 0v0 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thanks anyways though :D

Hey, thanks, but that's the A5x, a newer Android tablet. Different hard and software

Fantastic.

Since the zip also includes a bunch of shell scripts, I think it's possible I could also just install ssh directly - but the image will certainly make experimenting in a VM the safer option until something works out... ^^

Oh man, I can't wait to get home from work on Friday (currently stuck on the other side of the country 🫠)

Edit: also, can I somehow buy you a beer/coffee somewhere digitally?

No way!! You're the goat. I spent the day trying to get behind how the cracking worked by making simple examples, and you just... Solve the puzzle :D

Awesoms, thank you so much!! I'll appreciate update this thread if this leads to something :D

Theoretically... But this is 5 levels of knowledge above my head, I fear :D

I own the goddamn device, I should be able to do whatever I want with it...

The device, if connected, reads as mtp. Can't reformat.

Yeah, good idea. They added a network "mirroring" functionality at some point, so SOMETHING is listening on some port.

Oh, wow. I am so giving this a try. Huge kudos for checking the zip itself, btw! Thank you :D

Just for clarification though, do I need 12 bytes of the original content or of the compressed (but unencrypted) byte-representation of the zip file?

Edit: Ah, the repo links the paper. Reading now :)
