I’m still waiting for a way to run my own apps on my own devices that doesn’t require re-signing them every week.

Well there is _one_ way but you're probably not going to like it

I already use Android devices as well, thanks.

In the meantime I think Altserver works if you connect to a pc frequently enough

Tried that. And other alternatives I don’t remember right now. Still a hassle I don’t want to get into (and I have something like seven Proxmox nodes in the house). I just have other priorities and wish that this was as easy to do as in Android.

The EU adjust doesn’t get that, and probably never will, because the bureaucrats are more worried about impact to their industry lobbyists than to their citizens.

Ah that's disappointing, but as a fellow user I too found it too troublesome so I understand that.
