From the ~1 hour I played with the apple container stuff, I was pleased. It worked almost identically to the docker. I think that it's got better support for container-in-container stuff so in theory one might be able to get local macOS CI to work. I'm tempted to give this a crack I don't love go.

I upgraded when this trash came out and then downgraded. From what I can tell, the only real benefit of Tahoe is the apple container (github.com/apple/contai...) being supported first class.

There's also the fact that tokio spawn takes a future that impl's Send docs.rs/tokio/latest..., but JsFuture is !Send - docs.rs/wasm-bindgen...
spawn in tokio::task - Rust
Spawns a new asynchronous task, returning a `JoinHandle` for it.

There's a bunch of rough edges with rust browser stuff. Like, when using (or having a dependency that uses) `tokio::time::Instant::now()` in the browser and find a nice panic as rustc stub's `std::time::Instant::now()` as `unimplemented!`.

Doing this was well worth it. Battery life improved, my 2021 m1 isn't nearly as warm to the touch.

Yeah, I'm spending my evening trying to revert to Sequoia. I regret not finishing setting up samba and time-machine.

My technique is to watch smaller repos for projects I want to build but don't have time (yet) and then do polite drive-by reviews. I've both gotten and given issues that say "This project is awesome!"

Yeah… I usually avoid using the Xcode gui for stuff like this. Like the xcode-build cli tooling is something I like a bit more. If you wanna go off the deep end, I managed to get a fully xcode-less swift ui project building and loading on my phone and sim. github.com/simlay/ferri...

Oh I see. You wanted to use iCloud and push notifications.

Yeah. You get one provisioning profile without paying for a dev account and that profile only lasts a week.
