I’ve been trying to buy an Ebook in an EPUB format to import it in the Books app in my iPhone, and it turns out no publisher in Korea actually sells un-DRMable ebooks.
So now I have a new goal of reverse engineering the new DRM formats…
It can’t be that hard (or so I thought)

TBF I think I got to find out how to statically link everything and produce a binary with a bunch of hacks even back in 2022, so yeah I guess it should be there nowadays.

Seems like the Ladybird Browser is adopting Swift – I personally find Swift a great language to work with, but last time I tried, Swift on other platforms were not in a good shape, to say the least.

Hoping that the Foundation story got better from the last two years, the deployment story does now exist (requiring glibc and libxml2 and a bunch of other shared libraries for the Swift runtime didn’t make sense), and REPLs now actually work.

I’m wondering whether if I’m determined enough to jailbreak my iPad,
I’ll be able to hook up to keyboard events globally and make Opt-B `moveWordBackward:`, instead of inputting ‘∫’.
Is it possible in a technological level at all?

lol I finally settled on running an EC2 instance that runs FireFox on a headless Wayland display and then VNC-ing that to my iPad in the perfect resolution…

Scroll is janky due to the lack of GPUs on the EC2 instance though.

My super brittle web service runs on an SQLite database and a JSON file that gets updated with two shell scripts, launched from a systemd service and a deno script. Thought it was working quite well until it doesn’t… why is the WAL log 20GB? Ugh.

It turns out that from the systemd/sshd debacle, I prefer the KillUserProcesses=yes default – why are disconnected sshd processes still alive and taking up ports? Ugh.

And point 3 stabs me right now bc I need my websites in a secure context, e.g. localhost or an https location (because I use the subtle crypto API in some of my apps).

Trying to work around with a reverse proxy that supports TLS termination…

It turns out no iOS environment is able to provide any of them (wtf? Why does an M4 iPad exist at all), so I’ll have to provision a EC2 instance and work in that… which allows point 2.

point 1 gets solved by running code-server (https://coder.com/docs/code-server) and configuring it, which leaves point 3…

So I’m enlisted to the army as a KATUSA and I’m trying to set up my iPad as a development environment (since tablets are allowed but laptops aren’t).

So I’m focusing on web dev and my current requirement is that… I need to be able to

- Edit code with emacs keybindings
- Run Node.js/Python/NPM and such
- Able to preview websites while editing.
