  • 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.









  • Silly question if you don’t mind me asking, when you got the pop up:

    • Which browser/adblocker where you using (also did you use any custom filters)?
    • What device are you watching youtube on when you saw the block (windows, macos, ios, android, linux)?
    • Where are you located? (like which country)

    I never saw these popups just curious.

    Also my setups using a web browser (no issues):

    • (Mac OS Soma) Firefox Stable with ublock origen stock filters
    • (iPadOS 17) with adguard safari content blocker stock filters

    Setups with third part clients (no issues):

    • Revanced android
    • Smarttube (Fire TV)
    • YTLitePlus (iPadOS)


  • I know this isn’t YouTube’s fault but one thing that bugs me about yet premium is when creators dump baked in ads.

    As a user you have 3 options:

    1. Deal with it and manual skip (in a way this feels like skipping commercials on cable tv Dvr)
    2. Get ready to buy a ton of patreon subscriptions (kills the point of getting yt premium).
    3. Get a modded client/ use browser extensions and use sponsorblock

    Now the one exception to this is nebula where like YouTube you pay an all access fee but no baked in ads (I pay for this currently).

    I do wonder if creators had the option to make videos available via YouTube premium only (say early access and no baked in ads). Would more people pay and would creators use this system? (They wouldn’t have to worry about demonetization).

    Curious on your thoughts
