Yup it’s that easy. Check on the roaming prices though as depending on how long you’re staying it might be cheaper to get a temporary prepaid Australian number.

Otherwise yeah just turn on roaming and you’re golden.

AT&T Fiber gives out static IPs from what I’ve seen. Mine has never changed either.

Most will take the trade in phones, refurbish them, and resale them on a used market platform like backmarket. Anything not worth reselling I think is recycled.

Just got mine yesterday but yeah the AAWireless has been solid for me too.

Was looking for a Furry server and yiffit was too funny for me not to join

Rawr!

This is why I like services like beeper bringing iMessage support over to android. I get to use the phone like, but also make my friends happy by not messing up the blue bubbles

Well I don’t have a home server at the moment so I was renting out a server for about $40/month. Mostly because it was eating up a bunch of storage, and I was too lazy to swap from digital ocean.

Also I was using the ansible script and at some point I they changed something that required me to set it up again which I didn’t really have the time for.

I will say Ansible was a lifesaver. It made setting up and keeping the server up to date super easy.

I do recommend trying it out tho, just don’t use a domain name that is the same as your username or you will have issues with pings, especially if you share the instance with a friend. Learned that the hard way. Anytime they sent a message anywhere I was at, it pinged me, whether or not they intended to ping me.

What if I don’t want to

Welp just transfered my domains and it was super easy. I’m already using Tutanota for my email and clouflare for DNS so I don’t have to change anything it seems. Just went to the transfer website, unlocked the domains on Google, got a transfer pin, gave it to cloudflare, paid, verified the transfer via emails from google, and done

Same! Guess I’m moving to cloudflare for my registrar. IIRC it’s cheaper too

I also looked at self hosting email but the main problem I ran into is most IP’s are blocked by most email providers. My residential IP was already on a blacklist and getting it off that is too much hassle

I’m pretty sure I used mxtoolbox before to check my IP. Looks like my current one is actually clean so I might not have any issues if I tried it now

Idk what the minimum requirements are, but If you have any issue getting your hands a raspberry pi, ZimaBoards seem to be cool

Here’s the review of where I found them

I haven’t yet, but when I rebuild my homelab I’ll probably install both Plex and Jellyfin and compare them and see which one I like more. Currently without either as the laptop I was using as a server I no longer trust to be stable

I’m definitely keeping my eye on Jellyfin. Basically waiting for the mobile/tv apps to have more of the features that I personally want, especially on devices like my AppleTV. But it’s definitely a good project that I want to see improve.

That’s pretty much exactly what I have done. I’ve hosted Plex, and Matrix in the past. Plex I will host in the future but Matrix was too much for me to host on my own, but the experience of setting it up myself was definitely worth it.
