Restore deleted Telegram messages, medias and files from groups

There's not telegram API method for this, we need to call MTProto methods to retrieve messages from the "Recent Actions" (Admin Log) since deleted messages (and medias) gets moved there for 48 hours before the permanent deletion.

from telethon import TelegramClient, events, sync
from telethon.tl.types import InputChannel, PeerChannel

With heightening concern regarding the state of internet privacy (fuelled in part by the passing of the Investigatory Powers Act in the UK), I have set up a VPN server on the virtual server I have hosted with Mythic Beasts. This uses strongSwan and certificate-based IKEv2 authentication.

Assumptions:

Debian Jessie server already set up and accessible via debian.example.com, a public IPv4 of 203.0.113.1 and a public IPv6 of 2001:db8::1
Client username of me
Clients are running the latest versions of macOS and iOS (Sierra and 10 respectively at the time of writing)
No need to support any other operating systems (although the setup is easily translated)

For automated deployment of a similar setup, albeit Ubuntu-based and using ansible for deployment, I recommend you take a look at Algo VPN. I used that project as a basis for my configuration.

	### [2023-06-19] UPDATE: Just tried to use my instructions again on a fresh install and it failed in a number of places.
	###. Not sure if I'll update this gist (though I realise it seems to still have some traffic), but here's a list of
	###. things to watch out for:
	### - Check out the `nix-darwin` instructions, as they have changed.
	### - There's a home manager gotcha https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/4026
	###

	# I found some good resources but they seem to do a bit too much (maybe from a time when there were more bugs).
	# So here's a minimal Gist which worked for me as an install on a new M1 Pro.

	#!/bin/bash
	# Gitolite-Trac post-receive hook
	# Script written by Nilesh Govindrajan; http://nileshgr.com
	# Updated by giotti to support multiple repositories.
	# Assumptions:
	# 1: all trac environments are saved under one common directory
	# defined in tracenv. e.g. /path/to/all/my/trac/envs
	# 2: all repositories of an environment follow the naming-pattern
	# <environment><delimeter><repository name>[<delimeter><repository name continued>...],
	# e.g. someproject-somerepository, or someproject-somerepository-with-extra-text
