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

One of my friends just signed up 29 days ago and got in so they are definitely catching up. I was on the waitlist for a year and a half

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

So is mine. Soooo much more worse than the meme

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.
