One thing I didn’t mention is that VoLTE requirements will make this harder than it used to be. I’m not sure there are any usb modems that would work with mod_gsmopen that support it. I found some cheapish GSM<>VoIP gateway on AliExpress but the only support GSM, so they are useless in North America.

It’s doable by hosting your own Asterisk or FreeSWITCH. You can accomplish this in FreeSWITCH using a GSM/LTE modem and the mod_gsmopen module. FreeSWITCH can also be used as an IMS provider for VoLTE, but that’s way too involved and probably not attainable for a home gamer. In Asterisk (or also an option for FreeSWITCH) I believe you will need an GSM to SIP Gateway which is going to be a bigger investment in terms of hardware as they tend to be rather specialized.

I know you said you’d pefer the physical sim option so you can pay chash, which is valid. But also have a look at https://jmp.chat/ service, they are good people. They provide a SMS enabled gateway you can connect to with XMPP and specifically support multiple recipients.

Yeah that do, I remember that the demo was pretty impressive ten fifteen years ago!

And you better inspect and execute a downloaded copy, because a malicious actor can serve a different file for curl/wget than to your browser

Home Assistant can absolutely do that. If you are ok with simple intent based phrasing it’ll do it out of the box. If you want complex understanding and reasoning you’ll have to run a local LLM, like Llama, on top of it

Does Evolution not do that? Thunderbird might as well, not sure.

OnePlus 6T runs great

Absolutely. Simply use ACME with the DNS validation method. Using bind you’ll want to create keys and allow TXT access for those keys to the validation domains. Fear not, this isn’t exclusive to bind, ACME tools supports dozens of other backends. That’s all you need the actual domain doesn’t need to be resolvable with an A/CNAME record. Internally you can run an entirely different DNS server to resolve your hosts, use hosts files, or use bind zones.

Except it isn’t. Saying it is trivial is just gross generalization. It’s trivial to configure bind to have internal zones that aren’t resolvable publically. It all depends on configuration, such as reverse ns entries, zone accessibility, etc.

You can have (sub)domains that are listed in the certificate lists and yet aren’t resolvable externally as well.

It’d be better and more accurate say the list of certificates then.

Sub domains aren’t public unless your DNS server has XFER on.

Worth noting about this approach is that the global list of subdomains is publicly searchable.

Can you expand on this? What is it that you call the “global list of subdomains”?

Use yt-dlp to download the file and play it in MPV/VLC/Celluloid.

It’s not rocket surgery

Easy to say for a rocket appliantist.

The comment I’m replying to mentioned other OSs and non gaming functions. For those purposes Virtio requires almost no configuration to work with acceleration and works more than well enough.

That said, vietio drivers do in fact exist for windows.

Virtio works jisy fine.

Anything that supports bind’s built-in nsupdate.

You can even use SecureBoot and TPM in a VM ;) OVMF EDK2 fully supports both ;)

SecureBoot is fine, sucks that vendors won’t add distro keys but you can do that yourself, or use the shim.

I don’t know which distro you’re using, but in Fedora and Debian it’s pretty easy to install the signed version of grub and the signed shime and get full secure boot in Linux. No setup needed.
