When Apple mail gets stuck on "Moving messages" 😟

For reasons still unknown my Apple Mail (macOS 13.2) got stuck in an endless "Moving messages" loop. The Internet offers many different solutions to this problem but unfortunately many did not work for me. Until I discoved this page that contained a procedure that did make the "Moving messages" go away.

For future reference, these are the steps:

Exit Apple Mail
Open Finder and go to this folder: ~/Library/Mail/V10/MailData/ (note that I could not access this folder from the terminal)

Play Asciinema recordings in React

Asciinema is a great way to share and embed terminal recordings on the web.

Getting started with Asciinema on macOS is as simple as installing the tool with brew install asciinema, and creating a new recording with asciinema rec demo.cast.

There's an NPM package

Reading raw body content on Vercel

Vercel is a powerful platform for hosting serverless functions. A typical serverless function (in TypeScript) on Vercel looks like this:

async function (request: VercelRequest, response: VercelResponse) {
    response.status(200).json({message: 'hello world'});
}

Setting up Basic Auth in FastAPI for endpoints and static files

Sometimes you want to share something with the world but don't want to have it publicly accessible, and don't want to setup serious authentication like OAuth. In that case, Basic Auth might be just the type of authentication you're looking for.

Setting up basic auth in FastAPI can be done with a just of couple lines of code, but I could not find in the project's documentation how to do it for both endpoints and static files (e.g. a Web App, or plain HTML files).

Based on this discussion I was able to create a minimal implementation that you can find in this repository. Please see the README in the repository how to run and test the setup.
