Meetings, conferences, and workshops: Why we should still meet physically

Conferences, meetups, and on-site workshops seem like relics of the past. However, in a world of home offices, video calls, and AI, they are not.

Meetings, Konferenzen und Workshops: Warum wir uns noch physisch treffen sollten

Konferenzen, Meetups und Workshops vor Ort wirken aus der Zeit gefallen. In einer Welt von Homeoffice, Videocalls und KI sind sie es jedoch nicht.

This app (Macky) showed up on Hacker News as a supposedly easy way to connect from your iPhone to your Mac command line without something as old-fashioned (or secure) like SSH. It uses WebRTC instead for ... reasons.

Immediate first question: why should I trust this closed source app from an unknown source with remote access to my Mac?

I had a play with it using mitmproxy and one thing is for sure, it doesn't implement certificate pinning. It happily connected to my self-signed certificate. When you set a master password for access to your Mac it's sent to their server (a Cloudflare Worker) as plaintext (albeit over TLS) rather than using it as input to a key derivation function. That makes me think it's probably stored server-side with little to no security. All in all, there ain't a bargepole long enough for me to touch this with.
