I've transferred domains out of porkbun without seeing anything like that. I've had to release the domain lock and paste a transfer authorization code from one place to another. That's how it has worked at other registrars too.

I see, you are trying to make a home theater PC (HTPC). That would be a clearer term to use.
What does this question even mean (no I don't want to listen to a podcast to find out)?
Sometimes I think people have been using the term "self-hosted" to mean what we used to call a home PC. I have always thought of a hosted computer (whether self-hosted or hosted by a company) as meaning a server which normally would live in a data center, and sometimes even means a rented box or VPS on which you self-host by installing and managing the software yourself (as opposed to using managed hosting or cloud services). Of course if you have good enough internet, you can self-host a server at home, but the considerations are otherwise about the same. I.e. it would usually not also be your workstation or gaming box.
So what is it that your friends are going to do with the machine? That would be pretty important in figuring out how to prepare it.

Tech Enthusiasts: Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via alexa! I love the future!
Programmers / Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.
I've been using Vitelity (paid) but Twilio is a bit cheaper and has a better API. However, the more obnoxious confirmation code senders can detect all of these as being in data centers. IME it's only a few senders that are snotty about that. You could always get a burner phone.
Hmm, I don't know what happens if you get a mobile burner phone, set up call forwarding to your VOIP number, then throw the burner phone away (i.e. shut it off so you don't have to keep it powered and broadcasting its location). The cheapest mobile plan that I know of ($30/year redpocket) unfortunately went up to $45 a few months ago, but it gets you a usable backup sim.
Added: 1) r/nocontract on reddit showed a $36/year infimobile plan with a 20% off coupon (so a little under $30/y) on amazon. Similar deal to redpocket I think. 2) Another idea: get cheap mobile plan, port number into a voip provider, cancel mobile plan. I wonder if the number then reports as data center terminated.
There are now starting to be a few "free" mobile providers where you are required to keep a spyware app running. I don't think I'd bother with those. textnow.com is the one I remember but there were others. textnow does NOT support call forwarding on free plans.
There are a bunch on computers.woot.com and I've been looking at some, e.g. x370 or x13 yoga. I know a guy who returned a framework. Idr the exact issues but it sounded unfinished at the time. I've been wondering about recent ideapads. Awesome specs and they supposedly run Linux ok, but to now I've stayed with thinkpads.
What's wrong with your current machines?
Maybe look at some Dells?
History questions: which company invented JavaScript?
They need to stop bloating the web, so that browser development stops taking billion dollar budgets.
That is a good post and I hadn't heard of the T2S+ before. But it costs $300+ and is around 50K pixels (256x192). I see that an 160x120 FLIR Lepton module is $184 these days (Digikey). So this new stuff is competitive but not revolutionary imho. It's good that the FLIR monopoly is finally broken though. All that existed earlier other than FLIR was very low res devices.
$11/m is a lot. If you just want a small site on shared hosting, try namecrane.com. For storage use Hetzner Storage Box.
Main thing I want is to override site css. Who cares what the browser itself looks like.
