I guess I’ll let people know I have a Patreon in case anybody feels like contributing to it. I never liked people asking for donations, so I’m not... but if anybody feels they would like to help support my work on Elucubratus etc, this is available for you

I’ve seen rumors that I will not update TetherMe for A12 or would make a version that does not work on Chimera. I plan to release the A12 update for TetherMe as soon as I have everything in line and I would never intentionally break support for any jailbreak.

FYI Sileo is serving packages from BigBoss ( @0ptimo ) directly without serving their ads which is essentially stealing their bandwidth without paying for it. If you want to use things off BigBoss you should not use Sileo to access it or you could cause it to go away permanently.

We have identified the cause of the recent bootloops following Cydia updates. There was a system file removed by another jailbreak app. New uicache caused the system to detect this and bootloop. A test has been implemented that will avoid informing the system of missing files.
