  I lived in Austin, TX and used to know a homeless guy, Walter Dwight Green 1955, back in '98 that spent winters in jail for public intoxication for the same reasons.

  Including name, in case anyone else knew him and wants to chat. He was originally from Kentucky.

  I was a teenager at the time but I tried to help him as much as I could.

  I had to leave town for a year, when I came back, I found out he froze to death in the winter I was gone.

  How did that exchange go?

  They try to tell you that you can’t use your last name?

  Just for shingles, I setup and ran a minecraft Java server on an old phone for a little while. I did this through Termux.

  It was surprisingly good.

  Most people get a new phone every 2-3 years. If people use their 2 most recent phones as simple servers, then these are not 10 year old devices.

  Moved from a junky setup where I was forwarding my domain mail to gmail. And sending mail through gmail using the smtp server provided by my web host.

  I was having too many issues.

  I switched to fastmail. It is quite good. And you can get some free basic web hosting included with your paid service.
