2024-09-28 - Security through obscurity, or how to listen Morning for free

This is a long one, I’ll likely split in two.

“Il Post” is an italian online newspaper to whom I have been subscribed for years. They also produce several podcast, some of which are for subscribers only, and can only be listened on the browser on desktop and on their app on mobile.

Their app used to be quite buggy: it often crashed, or sometimes it kept playing but without making any sound.

2024-01-29 - On Kindertip, or whichever name I'll end up choosing

EDIT: The website is online

I’ve started working on a simple project lately, mostly during last week, when I was visiting Sevilla with my family.

I have a ~2 years old daughter, she goes to a kindergarten that around 8 months ago started using an application to communicate live with parents, Kindertap. On that app the teachers upload information on meals, news, contagious illnesses, and pictures.

On December, us parents were told to download all pictures since on January they would delete all old pictures to reduce their used space, and I thought I could write a simple script that, periodically, would download said pictures and upload them either on my NAS or on my GDrive account, since on the website there is a “Downloads” page where said pictures can be downloaded as monthly compressed files.
