  • remote UI connection passes through the Home Assistant Central servers, the Central servers could maintain that safety database and off switch

    I think this is how home assistant handles it. When they put out a cve they can update the insecure version list which makes nabucasa refuse remote forwarding (until you update).

    Initially I was just thinking if a open-source project is on github and uses the security disclosure feature if it would be possible to pull data from it and disable remote acess (either by auto shutting down the service or simply disabling routing on a reverse proxy).

    Having a system that does without a security disclosure list from a project maintainer would be far mor difficult like having the proxy disable one of your services if it detects a vulnerability in a dependency.









  • I actually have a mac mini running as a imessage relay and using (https://bluebubbles.app/) to relay them to my android (been using it the moment I switched from ios to android). It works quite well.

    The anoying catch is you have to use imessage via email. The biggest draw is imessage on iphone will show two duplicate chats one for sms and one for email.

    I’m sorta working on decomissioning that relay and either switching to the closest 3rdparty app or moving people to sms. I don’t have many imessage group chats (I basically have none right now). Hence why I made this post (to test the waters)

    As for image quality a partial solution is if I need to use sms I can either use google photos or samsung link share (though this only preservers the quality of images/videos I send and doesn’t fix poor quality photos comming back to me).



  • I’m not sure if your located in US, but an issue here is there a lot of people using iphones and a lot of them tend stick to the default messaging app and sometimes can rarley use 3rdparty messaging apps.

    For android users the gripe can be since people socially to use thirdparty messangers (its like trying to convince people to use signal over whatsapp). As a result sometimes a good portion of your chats can be stuck in sms.

    Group chats are a bit more of a pain since say all your friends are iphone users (and say they already have existing group chats) adding a android user will either not be possible or kick everyones chats back to sms. The biggest problem with the latter is carriers have different limits on number of participants for sms chats.
