Which hypervisor? I tried booting a physical install this year with VirtualBox and two decades ago with VMWare Player and both times ended up with damaged bootloader that was unable to boot from bare metal

I wrote something myself because I wanted PGP support, but saw some apps on Google Play (I've been still using it back then). I can't recommend anything, sorry.

For calls - yeah, tough stuff. I'e been looking to do the same thing you did, and found there are GSM USB dongles (modems) that can work with Asterisk to forward calls, so you'd use a raspberry pi instead of a smartphone. But I never implemented it, people gradually stopped calling me and there was just no motivation.

For texts with parcels etc I have an old phone in a drawer which forwards texts to my email. Doesn't leak anything because it does not move.

Are you aware that using the same device with different SIMs is not helping your anonymity because IMEI is the same?

Power to you for not having GSM enabled on your phone though

Sunshine sounds pretty decent but yeah, one step at a time. Thank you.

Sunshine in general sounds very tempting, I don't play AAA games so an old laptop may be sufficient for most games, and the desktop clients are free.

I doubt the potentially malicious games will have code sophisticated enough to bypass a sandbox, just because majority of users don't have a sandbox for them, and I'm not paranoid enough to fear targeted attacks. Other than that, the game shouldn't have access to my home directory or network.

Amazing, this way I could restrict network access with normal tools like firejail instead of fiddling with Flatpak. I've never heard of this tool before: https://mr_goldberg.gitlab.io/goldberg_emulator/

That is an interesting idea, I was about to buy a GPU for AI, right now I have one whose primary feature is not using a lot od energy. Am I going to need a dedicated monitor for games if I set it up this way?

Would be so much shorter with a щ

I don't have good experiences with recipes from GPT. They are not good at maths and thus, proportions were off more often than not.

I also used it to get some suggestions for supper compatible with a diet I was on. Complete garbage, while it was mostly obeying dietary restrictions, it was suggesting full dinner dishes with 30-60 minutes of preparation. Even after changing the prompt to add what a supper is in my culture, because it insisted some people eat like that.

As someone who prefers Ansible to the alternatives, I also love not having to write these verbose statements by hand any more
