The linked pdf at https://tom7.org/httpv/httpv.pdf is extremely long but a great read if you enjoyed the article.

"the way, to sign a piece of software, you need to pay an extortive $100/year fee to Apple"

This is the main reason I hate these notarization. And the worst thing is if you want to work on some software that require network extension, you can't even do it without paying apple $99 a year. There are workaround like turning off SIP, but it isn't recommended.

Deactivating SIP is not that dangerous if you know what you’re doing. All it does it give back write access to root to some parts of the system.

Obviously, for the commoners, it is definitely not recommended, especially since they usually run random commands from stochastic engines w/o supervision… oh…… engineers do that too now? how in the hell???

I’m out.

Apple won't even let you pay the fee in some cases. I've been fighting with them trying to figure out why they won't accept my ID verification since March. They keep saying my devices are linked to another Apple Account, but I purchased them all directly from the Apple Store and none of them have ever touched another account, so what the fuck.

Not surprisingly "isn't recommended" by the ones who want you to pay them.
I came here to say the same thing! I’m not sure I have the author’s vehemence, but I enjoyed the read.

Longest ‘paper’ I’ve read in ages, I’m slightly ashamed to admit.
