#SonicTUI 0.6 is now out. https://codeberg.org/thelinuxcast/sonic-tui
Added several new features, and fixed search. The quest to center the album art remains, however. It's better than it was, but still not great.

Testing gRPC for a small part of my iOS/iPadOS app. I already did some image resource fetching using Protobuf and it's working fine. It's however not a solution that scales too well as it's only one request in flight at one time. So rather than invent an own multiplexing I'll see how gRPC would work.
Perhaps my entire backend could be gRPC one day, but that's a bit of work as it's some 100+ endpoints...

So after spending a few evenings working on ibackupextractor (which does work quite well!), I discovered the even-more-clever tool 'imessage-exporter' (https://github.com/ReagentX/imessage-exporter) which is perfect if what you're interested in is just iMessages / SMS from an old iOS device backup.
It will extract messages *directly* from the (unencrypted) local backup, without running it through ibackupextractor first, something that I totally didn't expect. And it appears to handle encrypted backups as well (if you have the password, obvs), although I didn't test this.
Now I just need to figure out how to extract the data directly from my iPhone, now that I don't have a MacOS machine anymore…
Spent a while this evening noodling around with "ibackupextractor", an open source, MIT-licensed, Rust program that takes an (unencrypted) iOS backup and reassembles it into a usable directory/file tree.
It's a fairly niche use case, because you need to have backed-up your iOS device to a Mac (not just to iCloud), but if you happen to have one of those archives and want to get information out if it, without restoring the whole thing back to an iOS device… that's what it does.
My changes implement an 'info' command to see metadata related to the backup, and an 'extract --all' option to dump basically everything retrievable in an archive rather than doing it one iOS 'domain' at a time. I also changed the default behavior a bit, based on what I think is safe/sane behavior. (The upstream author may or may not agree.)
