Why yewtu.be was down? (July 2023)

On the 30th of June, my cloud provider, Oracle Cloud, decided to shutdown all my servers hosted on two Oracle Cloud accounts.
It is known that this provider will randomly ban accounts without any reason.

Why yewtu.be doesn't accept new registrations nor logging into an account?

Unfortunately and this is 100% my fault for forgetting that, I only had data duplication between servers located in the two Oracle Cloud accounts and no backups.
I thought that I wouldn't get all my accounts in trouble at the same time and able to recover the data from one of the two accounts but unfortunately this turned out otherwise.

Implementing some backup was something I had in my notes for a long time but I think I forgot about it, maybe due to the huge amount of work I spend on the open source projects.
I'm deeply sorry if you have lost your subscriptions list or playlists or watch history. I did try to contact Oracle Cloud for recovering the data, I'm waiting for their answer but you should be certain that they

Disable Turbo Boost to Reduce Power Consumption and Heat

Why Do We Need It?

If your laptop’s CPU is running very hot and you’ve tried to undervolt it, you’ve probably discovered there’s no easy way to do so—especially on laptops whose BIOS doesn’t expose those controls. I ran into the same issue with my Ryzen 7 5800H, despite numerous attempts, I couldn’t undervolt because the firmware simply wouldn’t allow it. While it may seem drastic, disabling Turbo Boost is one workaround—and you might be surprised how little real-world performance you lose by turning it off.

The unfortunate state of iOS downgrading
Unfortunately I have some bad news for downgrading.
Before I explain the bad news at the end of this post, I first need to introduce a background of iOS devices.
In iOS 16, Apple introduced a new firmware component known as Cryptex1. Technically, this is a "virtual" co-processor.
It's purpose is to allow Apple to push RSRs (Rapid Security Responses) which are separate from traditional iOS updates and can be installed much faster.
Like other firmwares, it also has a signing ticket locked to a cryptographic nonce (number-used-once).
We commonly refer to the Apple signing tickets as SHSH blobs.
Meaning the firmware can't be installed without a valid signing ticket as well as a matching nonce.
The "big two" components we deal with signing/nonces are AP and SEP. AP is basically the main device chip (Application Processor).
SEP is the security chip (Secure Enclave Processor).
With regards to APNonce, Apple conveniently gave us the com.apple.System.boot-nonce NVRAM property which we use to set the APNonce generator.
