How exactly are you using iMessage with your VoIP number? I thought it requires a valid SIM card to register the number. Also, aren't SMS, MMS media, and MMS groups super finicky with VoIP services?

I rather just buy used Lenovo Thinkcentere PCs on eBay. Way more power, cheaper and relatively small. There’s a lot of different CPU/RAM/DISK configurations you can find.

I’ve been buying these, throwing Fedora IoT, docker, and Tailscale on them and running them from different locations for personal projects.

As kids at a buffet we would all load up on way more food than we could eat. Naturally, we would just play with that food, mixing up all the things we could in cups and dare each other to take a sip. I bet we weren't the only ones who did that.

For domestic USA I get a companion pass with SW for two years right at the beginning of the year. I rinse and repeat and only book with SW. Credit card offers are the best way to do this and there’s plenty of sites talking about it.

This brings back good memories from High School. Here's a bunch of things we used to do:

1. Set fun messages on all the HP Printers: https://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/jetdirecthack

2. Bypass firewall restrictions by setting http:// to https:// (later had to resort to SSH tunneling using Putty). Got me banned from our library for a month when I was on Facebook and a teacher passed by.

3. Our student directory set a cookie to a 6 digit identifier in the cookie. We could access any student's grades and details by just setting it to another ID, or looking at their lunch card.

4. During finals we wouldn't be allowed to see our grades until after all the finals were submitted into our grading portal. Somebody picked up on the fact that if you stop the page load before it finished that the grades would show up. Using JS to block our grades after they loaded didn't stop even the least technical people.

5. Some of our labs had monitoring software to make sure we were working. We could just kill that process and they would lose access.

6. Invert MacOS screen colors using Control + Option + Command + 8. Teachers didn't know how to recover from this and would resort to restoring the entire Mac.

7. CTRL + ALT + Down to flip the Windows screens. Again caused issues for a lot of people who didn't know this shortcut.

What a bunch of troublemakers we were...

Even though the main site isn’t really actively being developed anymore, the Pins for Pinboard iOS is a third-party app that is continuously getting updates and is very polished. If it weren’t for this very functional and pretty app I probably would be more annoyed.
