I’m obviously a fan of LE but a simple self-hosted option with a custom CA would be great for local machines:

• I don’t want every Raspberry Pi/laptop/temp VM/whatever published into the cert transparency record
• Configuring the router to forward every local hostname to the machine’s .well-known would be awful (if my ISP even allowed port 80)
• Exposing local machines to the Internet is an unnecessary degradation of security

Google Voice is not available in my country. Plus, it’s Google.

Also, Google Voice takes my top pick for the next round of Google product executions. It receives no updates: no RCS, no fake iMessage support (parsing the Liked "prev message" stuff), and it’s buggy as shit.

I’d gladly even pay for GVoice if it meant it got a renovation and it was going to outlast Google’s attention span. Telephony is something I just don’t want to self-host because there’s no way telecom companies will make it easy.
