Update regarding virtual files has more quirks.

• You cannot move files or folders. If you try nextcloud will simply copy the files to new destinaiton while not moving.
• the nextcloud sync and virtual files refresh/update independently (a change may propigate to sync but not files and vice versa).

Also turns out the reason it was a github release was it is still in alpha 😅 .

Update the stable client does have proper virtual file sync.

Regarding the previous virtual file sync system (.nextcloud) you had to enable experimental features to get it. The latest stable just has both versions of syncing and I missed the obsious vfs sync option.

The only downside to the new system is there isn’t a make file/folder available offline always option in the context menu (you can get around this by manually setting up synced folders but it is a little inconvient).

Nextcloud desktop client 3.13.0

Edit 2:

You need to grab the release from https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/desktop/releases/tag/v3.13.0

Specifically the vfs version Nextcloud-3.13.0-macOS-vfs.pkg

brew doesn’t really work

This is how it shows up for me on Nextcloud desktop client 3.13.0

It sorta does. Nextcloud creates a list of placeholder files with a .nextcloud extension and when you open it nextcloud will auto download the realfile and open it.

Unfortunatly like syncthing nextcloud mac app also has the same file extension sync issue (they use .nextcloud).

Same 😔

Just checked, it’s working fine for me Seadroid: 3.0.0 (from fdroid) Server: 11.0.8 Pixel 8 android

I had the googlw play store version which was 1 year out of date. Reinstalling from fdroid fixed the issue.

Edit: seafile doesnt seem to play nice with microsoft word android. I can open files just fine using the browse tab but can’t save files

Sorry about that (didn’t think that far when making the post 🫠 ).

I updated the title

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.

data source for these vulnerabilities

Are you refering locations for vulnerability disclosure or are you more referring to bug bounty?

Personally, I’d just put everything behind a VPN. The attack surface is much smaller.

Fair enough

Beeper did mention the DMCA protection on reverse engineering.

That being said regardles if beeper wins or looses. If apple sues and at the same time breaks beeper mini they could run into financial trouble very quickly.

If your willing to deal with self hosting, immich is a great alternative. Its facial recognition and search is practically on par with google photos.

The only downside is it doesnt’ have photo editing, and its under active developmeant (it gets weekly updates and you occasionally need to modify docker config though they do give a warning in ui).

I do wonder how this compares to current payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, etc)

I have a fire tv cube just direct launch into apps to avoid this. For example instead of powering on the fire tv with power button I tell Alexa to open the app I need.

Down side is this doesn’t really work with sieloaded apps like smart tube

The problem comes down to education institutions. I remember when we got Chromebooks in my highschool (8 years ago) admins forgot to turn of developer mode and half the school unenrolled the Chromebook managing to bypass all restrictions. This went on for half a year until one day our school needed to run a state exam (more for measure of schools performance not as a college entrance exam or anything).

The computerized testing program required deploying a specific chrome app accessible when chrome book is logged out (can’t just download from chrome web store). When they tried to push the client since half of Chromebooks were unenrolled it failed. This required the school it to recall pretty much all chrome books to manually re enroll all of them and disable developer mode (prevents unenrolling and prevents sideloading Linux).

Problem is if older Chromebooks are used for Linux in an educational environment there would be nothing stopping a student from whipping up a bootable USB and dumping another distro (bypassing restrictions). I’m also not sure if there is a enrollment mode equivalent Linux (there may be but not sure).

At least that’s my two cents (not a school it admin just a memory from the past 😉).
