Second Phone, Same Signal
Exactly yeah, I used this bridge with this playbook
- Have you tried any decentralized messengers?
-
Best KaiOS device for a user in the US?
I personally recommend going with a Matrix client and building a bridge to your Signal account.
-
Hosting Signal frontend on a local server (Like Signal desktop but through website)
OWS has historically been hostile to third party implementations outside of their clients. There are multiple unofficial options but the only one I've been looking at is the bridge with matrix, though setting up a matrix server just for this is likely overkill.

Let’s chat about RCS
Once you have the home server set up and configured (not covered here because it's a process), clone the bridge repo (for instance mautrix-signal and follow the instructions.

Signald: Unofficial Daemon for Interacting with Signal
Mentioned elsewhere, the list of bridges is pretty complete: https://matrix.org/bridges/, specifically I used https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-signal (and the same author's WhatsApp and SMS bridges).
the signal matrix bridge currently listed on matrix.org (https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-signal) uses signald
This is likely the one they are referring to: https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-signal/
I use it myself and it has been working perfectly for me since I switched to it.

Any way to get iMessage on Nokia 2760? BlueBubbles Linux app for example?
If you're willing to dive deep into self-hosting, the open source chat protocol Matrix.org has support for an in-development iMessage bridge. Once you get it to work, there's a Matrix.org client on KaiOS devices called Chooj (sideloading guide) made by Farooq that you can use to access the chat.

Solved: Fully automated transaction entry with iOS shortcuts. No manual entry or YNAB app required

Beeper Changes iMessage
The disadvantage of not offering an API for iMessage is that there is no easy way to block clients. Apps like Bluebubbles have to work by being installed on an actual Mac and scraping messages from iMessage and Beeper uses a similar architecture[0]. Presumably they have a data centre full of actual macs (or VMs).

iMessage on Android Without Any Apple Devices!
I have an old Mac Mini rotting on a shelf in my cupboard which is my bridge to the world of Apple shit. It primarily runs two bits of software: OpenHaystack, which I used to run my own object trackers over the Apple Find My network and Mautrix iMessage which I used to access iMessage via Matrix on my Android and Windows devices.

Absolutely minimal hackintosh proxmox build?
I've switched from iPhone to a de-googled Android device, and am generally trying to extract myself from google and apple ecosystem lock-in. The last piece for me is trying to find a reasonable bridge for iMessages - but the baseline requirement is to have a Mac PC running 24x7 to act as a bridge for matrix or airmessage. Here's my question: the hardware and software requirements for iMessages are pretty minimal. MacOS Big Sur implemented a few messaging bits like inline replies which I'd like to keep, so that's my OS baseline. Has anyone managed to strip down a hackintosh hardware installation to absolutely minimal proxmox hardware demands (e.g. ram/cores)? If so, got a recommendation on an efficient build process?

It’s time for Apple to fix texting
Yes, tulir works for beeper. But I think they stopped doing that iPhone thing, and if you use iOS there are less features available: https://github.com/mautrix/imessage/blob/master/ROADMAP.md

Analyzing iMessage with SQL
I have an Android phone and if you're desperate you can buy an old Mac Mini and set up an iMessage bridge over Matrix (https://github.com/mautrix/imessage) or BlueBubbles to work around this. I do not recommend it though as it locks you into a facet of the Apple ecosystem.

Sending from number (android) instead of email
iOS 13 - 14.x.x (14.3 with Taurine, 14.8 with unc0ver, or 14.8.1 with checkra1n) - [SMServer](https://redd.it/n1ees1), [WebMessage](https://redd.it/l7pepo), or [Barcelona](https://redd.it/ie0ckj). All 3 of these are great options, but unfortunately Barcelona is still in beta so you have to build most of it yourself (though there are [instructions available](https://github.com/open-imcore/barcelona/blob/mautrix/BUILDING.md#building-for-ios) with a front end [here](https://github.com/open-imcore/imcore.react)). [Mautrix-iMessage](https://github.com/mautrix/imessage) and [Brooklyn](https://github.com/EthanRDoesMC/Brooklyn) exist too, but I’ve never used them so I don’t know much about them.
