Absolutely minimal hackintosh proxmox build?

  A Matrix-iMessage puppeting bridge

  

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?

  Build your own 'AirTags' 🏷 today! Framework for tracking personal Bluetooth devices via Apple's massive Find My network.

  

Sure. The fact that Apple was semi-mindful of privacy when building the findmy / airtag network, allows anyone to broadcast the same signal that airtags broadcast. The keys that are broadcasted are self generated and can't be decoded by apple. An example of this is open haystack. I'm running a script on a big sur VM with a modified version of this library to get the location (and a full byte of custom data) of custom "airtags". You need an authenticated Mac to do this, so I wrote a little script to proxy the requests from home assistant to the VM to Apple and add the authentication.
