Propan VS AltStore

Later, we discovered Propan, a library created by Nikita Pastukhov, which solved similar problems but for RabbitMQ. Recognizing the potential for collaboration, we joined forces with Nikita to build a unified library that could work seamlessly with both Kafka and RabbitMQ. And that's how FastStream came to be—a solution born out of the need for simplicity and efficiency in microservices development.

The next step was to figure out what to do next. We posted questions on a few relevant subreddits and got quite a few feature requests, mostly around supporting other protocols, encoding schemas etc. But, we also got a message from a developer of a similar framework Propan that was released at about the same time and was gaining quite a traction in the RabbitMQ community. That developer was Nikita Pastukhov and he made an intriguing proposal: let's join our efforts and create one framework with the best features of both. Both projects were growing at roughly the same speed but targeted different communities. So the potential for double growth was there. After a quick consideration, we realized there was not much to lose and there was a lot to gain. Of course, we would lose absolute control over the project but losing control to the community is the only way for an open-source project to succeed. On the positive side, we would gain a very skilled maintainer who single-handedly created a similar framework all by himself. The frameworks were conceptually very similar so we concluded there would not be much friction of ideas and we should be able to reach consensus on the most important design issues.

FastStream simplifies the process of writing producers and consumers for message queues, handling all the parsing, networking and documentation generation automatically. It is a new package based on the ideas and experiences gained from FastKafka and Propan. By joining our forces, we picked up the best from both packages and created a unified way to write services capable of processing streamed data regardless of the underlying protocol. We'll continue to maintain both packages, but new development will be in this project.

FastStream (https://github.com/airtai/faststream) is a new Python framework, born from Propan and FastKafka teams' collaboration (both are deprecated now). It extremely simplifies event-driven system development, handling all the parsing, networking, and documentation generation automatically. Now FastStream supports RabbitMQ and Kafka, but supported brokers are constantly growing (wait for NATS and Redis a bit). FastStream itself is a really great tool to build event-driven services. Also, it has a native FastAPI integration. Just create a StreamRouter (very close to APIRouter) and register event handlers the same with the regular HTTP-endpoints way:

Hello everyone!

Two months ago I told you about Propan - the Python framework to build messaging services based on Any Message Broker. So, there were a lot of changes for this time and I want you to tell me again about them.

At first, we added Kafka, Redis Pub/Sub, SQS, and NatsJS support (to RabbitMQ and regular NATS). At now you can interact with these brokers via the same Propan interfaces.

Also, we added an AsyncAPI schema autogeneration, so you already have documentation for your services if you are using Propan.

And the last (but not least) - PydanticV2 support! You can use V1 and V2 both, but V2 is much faster - it is a preferred way to write new services.

By the way: we have a new Propan major version draft, so if you want to participate in the discussion and suggest a new feature, it is time to join our discord and tell about it!

Also it is important for my own Propan package implementing some custom routers.

As you may know, I am developing Propan framework to interact with various message brokers single way. When I published a post about the existence of the framework, users immediately asked "When to expect SQS support?". Now!

A couple of days ago I wrote about the release of my framework for working with various message brokers - Propan!

AltServer from the AltStore folks allows you to automate the renewal of sideloaded apps. It’s not perfect, but it’s an excellent workaround.

That's probably to prevent the most obvious workaround of creating a new shell company for every million users. (Which would be not so ridiculous as it sounds, there is plenty of software you cannot buy directly but only through a reseller. Epic could become a pure b2b shop on paper and sell Fortnite clients to regional distributors, or something like that.)

Some time ago somebody made an alternative App Store for emulators, https://altstore.io . I think it works by having users get a developer's certificate and installing the apps like an in-development app. I think it would be really neat if this model got tested in court and declared completely legal.

See: https://altstore.io/

2 apps, re-sign weekly maximum. 3 if you do it without AltStore. Unlimited with a $99/yr developer account.

you already could in a way... by using altstore[0] on non jailbroken devices... It's not as straightforward as on Android but it is possible (there were even some builds of blink engine)

I mean, that's fine. My argument about adblockers applies to other software too: the Apple ecosystem has some of the basics (like sync, browsers, etc) figured out for me so that I don't need to fiddle with it. While I'd like to use Firefox, I don't need to, and the tradeoffs that come with accepting Safari instead are worth it for my specific situation. Forcing myself into a different ecosystem so that I can use different software that does the same thing isn't a good tradeoff for me. It sounds like that's not the case for you - glad you've found an ecosystem that works for you.

There are a couple of things you might want to be aware of though:

* AltStore exists and works pretty well: https://altstore.io

* iOS 17.2 allows users in some locales to side load apps: https://medium.com/@rmndrathna4/ios-17-2-sideload-apps-what-... . This was sparked by the Digital Markets Act, which could also force Apple to allow alternate browser engines. It went into effect May 2023, but I'm not a lawyer and idk how this will actually affect the Apple ecosystem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Markets_Act

No problem! I can guide you step by step here. You will need: A Mac Computer A supported Device (which I know you have) A jail broken device This tutorial is for iOS 9 btw, so you should probably update. It’ll only be temporary. First, jailbreak your iPhone. Personally, I updated my iPhone to iOS 9 then jail broke it using Phoenix. To do this, turn on your Mac and download Altstore. (https://altstore.io). Go to the phoenix website and download the ipa file. Then go into Altstore and sideload the ipa on your device by plugging in the 4S and trusting the Mac. It’ll ask you for your Apple ID and password, but if you don’t feel safe giving it, you can create a throw-away Apple ID. Once the ipa is done sideloading, you should see the Phoenix app icon on your main iPhone menu. Go into it, and it’ll say iPhone 4,1 isn’t jailbrolen. Click on the begin button, and go through the terms and service. They will show you their mixtape, but you can ignore it. Now, click begin installation. You should see two buttons to use the premade files or your own. Here, you MUST WAIT at LEAST 5 minutes on this screen before you proceed. If you click the button before five minutes, the screen would fade black and you did it incorrectly. After five minutes, click the use premade asserts button (the button above). After a bit, you should get a storage full message. Then the phone will shut off on its own. When the phone is on, you should have Cydia. Go back into the Phoenix app and make sure it says your iPhones is jailbroken and Cydia can be launched. If not, click the “jumpstart jailbreak” button, and when you get to the assets thing again, wait 5 minutes once more. Once that is done, go into Cydia and go to the sources button. Click Edit on the upper right hand corner, then click Add. Then type this link in. http://repo.tihmstar.net/. Once done, scroll through his selection until you find the kDFU app. Download it, and go into the app. Turn on all the switches, and enter kDFU mode. Now we go back to your Mac. Go here: https://github.com/LukeZGD/Legacy-iOS-Kit/releases/tag/latest. Click on the one that says _Macos. That should download the zip file. Now unzip it, but don’t go into it. Now go to the Mac Terminal. Type cd then a space. Then drag the iOS Kit folder to terminal. The path name should show in terminal next to cd. Click enter. Now type chmod +x restore.sh Now type ./restore.sh You should see some things pop up. Now read if it asks you to update. Type “y” if it asks, and let it do its thing. When it is done updating, type ./restore.sh again. Now if you iPhone 4S is still in kDFU mode and is plugged in, the Patcher should see your iPhone 4S. Now it should show you some options. Type “1” as you are downgrading and click enter. It should now show you if you wanna downgrade to iOS 8 or 6. Type “2” as that is the option listed for iOS 6. Click enter. Now you should see a list of options that show Ipsw related things. Type “2” as that should download the iOS 6 ipsw. When that is done, type “3” and click enter. That will begin the restore. It’ll ask you a few questions, and type y/n to what you want. Now let it finish. Do NOT unplug the phone. When it is done, you should be downgraded!

/u/sevenlayercookie5 /u/rogo725 - I side load it with https://altstore.io/ - it keeps it refreshed every 7 days as well. If you need any help with it, hit me up.

https://altstore.io/ Go here in your computer, download alt server then connect your phone via usb and download AltStore on phone. AltStore will have delta available to download.

Fuck you for not having a Linux version JKJK Thanks for Altserver and Altstore: https://github.com/altstoreio/AltStore
