You know you only need to do a GDPR request to Apple (dedicated page), select images and you get a download link after a few hours

For those in the EU only ?

Believe it work for everyone? I am located in Oslo/Norway, so can’t check if it does not apply everywhere.

Only need to go to this page to do the request https://privacy.apple.com/


You can't really file a GDPR request, but the (self-service, web based) download tools works for everybody.

Been using exactly this setup for a year now, works great. Have to be on the same WiFi to install from Xcode to iPhone. There is a “workaround” having it deploy to TestFlight, but it’s slow. Looking for a way to forward mDNS over VPN, to bad iPhone/Tailscale don’t support it. Only possibility I found is to have a separate mobile router that support forwarding mDNS.

Hmm, you could probably setup ad hoc builds and send them off to Firebase App Distribution or a similar service and get them a bit faster. Still pretty cumbersome but it skips the slow signing/slow uploads/slow processing that Test Flight provides for users.

My favorite speed up trick: “ HTTP range requests for metadata. Wheel files are zip archives, and zip archives put their file listing at the end. uv tries PEP 658 metadata first, falls back to HTTP range requests for the zip central directory, then full wheel download, then building from source. Each step is slower and riskier. The design makes the fast path cover 99% of cases. None of this requires Rust.”


> None of this requires Rust.

Indeed. As demonstrated by the fact that pip has been doing exactly the same for years.

Part of the reason things are improving is that "tries PEP 658 metadata first" is more likely to succeed, and at some point build tools may have become more aware of how pip expects the zip to be organized (see https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/binary...), and way more projects ship wheels (because the manylinux standard has improved, and because pure-Python devs have become aware of things like https://pradyunsg.me/blog/2022/12/31/wheels-are-faster-pure-...).


I was a daily user of mitmproxy, until they changed all they keybindings around version 2. Tried a couple of times to get used to the new “TMUX” style, but switched to Charles Proxy.

Have mitmproxy gotten any better in usability over the years?

Just based on the images, is seems to have the same problems?


> Have mitmproxy gotten any better in usability over the years?

The new-ish "Local Capture" and "WireGuard"-mode are quite nice.

And running e.g. `mitmproxy --ignore-hosts '.*' --show-ignored-hosts` [1] for monitoring apps with certificate pinning also a new feature

[1] cmd will turn mitmproxy into a "non-MITM proxy" but do show domains (SNI) the app is connecting to.


I generally prefer mitmweb, the web frontend for mitmproxy. I don't have much of a problem with their tmux-like UI, but I find mitmweb a lot easier to use than the keyboard shortcut based terminal navigation.


Same experience. The V1 and V2 was simple to use to clear, start capture, navigate etc. Everything felt broken after the switch, for the trade off to get more features?

Maybe I should do a fork and try to fix it again


A good reminded to myself to do another GDPR request and download all my iCloud images to an external hard drive


I made a simple webpage to grab text from YouTube videos: https://summynews.com Great for this kind of testing? (want to expand to other sources in the long run)


Never seen a blinking light on a tower in Norway. Why the difference between countries, can’t be that huge difference risk if some don’t have them?


In Norway this is regulated by Luftfartstilsynets BSL E 2-1, and the blinking white lights on our towers are called "hinderlys", for example category "Høyintensitet, type B".

They are not uncommon in Norway.

If you go to one of our major airports you will see one on the tower. The blinking lights also sit on wind turbines and TV masts, and anything taller than 15 meters in rural areas or 30 meters in populated areas will have some kind of light on it, sometimes blinking, either red or white.


Strictly speaking they should be unnecessary because there are published minimum safe altitudes for every air space over land. But some aircraft must be able to “See and avoid”


Norwegian is also included, based on the model card: https://huggingface.co/utter-project/EuroLLM-9B


Considering there are two different official written forms of Norwegian, that's not really saying enough, but I guess they mean Bokmål.


Can also easily be accessed with a API/GET request: https://summynews.com/api.php?v=VIDEO_ID Example: https://summynews.com/api.php?v=JZLZQVmfGn8 Caches requests and can freely be used by LLMs, API etc.


Even exist a simpler version like summynews.com/JZLZQVmfGn8 (text format) or summynews.com/?v=JZLZQVmfGn8 (web viewer)


For smaller projects I actually started to like to vibe code in PHP; API, user login (magic links), webpages etc. Stable, lower maintenance, faster iterations etc. Now its really fun to build.
