  • I created an SMS to Email gateway back in 2011 when data was still expensive on phones and I was trying to see if I could turn an iPod Touch into an iPhone. (I was a poor student at the time, was trying to find ways to save money 😅)

    Basically I had a 3G modem plugged into a Linux server that could receive the messages, a prepaid SIM card with a long life credit expiry, a domain name set up with unknown email address capturing, and some tools to handle the actual SMS part.

    At the time I published the scripts I used online and apparently they’re still online 😅 This is on Whirlpool which is an Australian telecommunications forum.

  • (I’ll attempt this based on my understanding of both)

    Pouring a cup of juice is something an adult needs to be involved with.

    sudo is when you ask for permission to pour your own cup of juice. You ask an adult, they give you the cup and the juice, and then you’re responsible for pouring it. If the adult isn’t paying attention they may leave the fridge open for you to go back for more juice or another beverage, but otherwise you’re limited to the amount of juice the adult has given you.

    run0 is when the adult just gets you a cup of juice. You tell them what you want, they go and pour the juice, and just give you the cup with the juice in it. You never enter the kitchen, so you don’t have access to the fridge, just your cup of juice.


  • I’d second afraid.org, have been using them for years and they’ve always been great. They also support dynamic DNS so if you’re on a dynamic IP address you can have the address be updated automatically when your IP address does.

    More relevant to the question, I’m pretty sure you can create NS records for a subdomain as well. I was experimenting once a few years back with a DNS tunnel service and was able to get the DNS side of it configured. Never did get the service itself working but it was more of a curiosity at the time so didn’t spend a massive amount of time on it.
