Rated M for Maduro

I've searched for a journal app and the only thing that I've found that is private to me is Joplin with templates

The article explains its available as an experimental option tucked away in the options

I just love when two shitty companies do shitty things to one another

There is a new version for the Hobbit in spanish, ilustrated and annotated that explains it this way

Thanks for all the effort you guys put for us to enjoy lemmy natively. I have three questions:

1. Do you plan to add gif scrubbing functionality to the app?
2. Do you think iOS17 support is going to be long term?
3. Do you plan to add post/comment search functionality?

Thanks for the hard work!

Be Ware, if you have a device that cant be updated anymore, like an old iPhone or iPad, Apple forces you to delete that device from you account in order to proceed with the encription, losing synchronization with iCloud on those devices.

So Apple chooses when a device stops getting software updates and that makes the device unfit to keep being synchronized with the cloud in a secure manner

I hope they add support for more languages, my father would love to play this

Will you announce when support is dropped for a specific version?

Here are some things, some minor and some major, in general I think Apple software is not up to their previous standars and just mediocre, not bad, but neither good anymore…

• Phone app doesn’t have an in depth history of every call, just some of the last conversations.
• Spellcheck: someten alterado Saiz it (someone already said it…)
• Maps: Sent several corrections with detailed info and images but more than half are not fixed. I just don’t care anymore.
• Siri: I just don’t know where to begin.
• Apple Arcade: searching through Apple Arcade games is a nightmare.

They do use their infrastructure to connect to Apple Notification Service servers when the app is not used, they do act as a Man In The Middle but in a secure, concise manner (not in a sketchy way). And they conect to their servers for registration and subscription status. You can read a more in depth explanation on their blog

Besides all that I'm not sure if someone who wants to create it's own implementation of all of this can do it without any apple device; reading jjtech technical explanation (https://jjtech.dev/reverse-engineering/imessage-explained/) where he explains pypush he mentions the obfuscation process for registering a device to apple servers, here is where pypush somehow manages to convince Apple that the machine is genuine, there is a mention there to some serial identifier stored on a file called data.plist, if someone wants to implement this proof of concept would need to give another serial identifier?

Be ware of using VPN if you want spanish content and wanna join a private tracker; all spanish private tracker ban the use of VPNs

My advice is to check if your ISP is blocking you from access to the sites you plan to use and pick one that doesn’t. If you plan to use torrent check if your ISP is outside CG-NAT (or let’s you leave it) to enable port forwarding

If your country doesn’t care about piracy do not complicate your life further till they care, just stay up to date. As for measures I always use independantly of context, I just recommend using

• Firefox with uBlock Origin and NoScript
• Bitwarden or other password manager
• A email relay services such as iCloud private relay or Duck email proxy
• Flee of companies that sell your data, such as Google, Meta, Tiktok, etc
