> As soon as I try to add more detail the previously imagined details dissapear and I have to circle back and reimagine them. Like having a very limited amount of draw calls every frame.
This matches my experience - I think of it a bit like a really slow CRT, the phosphorescence fading before the image can be composed.
I was amazed to discover, a few months ago, that iPeng is still under active development!
I went to set the alarm on my Squeezebox Boom one night and the time picker widget was completely broken. By the next week they'd pushed out an update to fix it.
That kind of dedication in a developer is fantastic to see.
If you can find the .ipa, you can sideload them, no developer account or anything needed.
The downsides are that you can only have 3 sideloaded apps at a time, and you have to reinstall them every 7 days.
https://sideloadly.io/ automates the process and can automatically reinstall them for you - I use it to keep the Pebble app installed and my watch synced.
I recently came across another useful utility for debugging unexpected packet drops - PWRU[0] (Packet, Where Are You) by Cilium.
It uses eBPF to try to trace the path of the packet through the kernel. Haven't needed to use it yet, but it could have saved me a lot of trouble in the past.
> Also, once you've got per-user encryption on ~/.ssh/authorized_keys you'll need some other mechanism for users to log in.
OpenSSH supports this through the AuthorizedKeysFile directive - it'd be quite simple for the homedir mounting tool to sync that file from the user's authorized_keys file on unmount.
You could also use SSH certificates, but that requires a CA - not ideal for the home user.
The thing that bothers me is that it's not even restricted to iDevices.
I was recently looking into replacing Time Machine on my MBP (which has a tendency to corrupt over SMB) with APFS snapshots, synced to ZFS snapshots on my NAS.
Unfortunately, I quickly found that Apple has locked the relevant API (fs_snapshot_create) away behind a private entitlement, only to be granted to select backup software that abides by their rules.
It's gotten to the point that I want to "jailbreak" my laptop. Just give myself the ability to grant any entitlement, for local use only.
