Chrome has DNS-over-HTTPS enabled by default. Firefox, however, enables that by default in certain regions only.

Cloudflare has a comprehensive guide on how to enable it in various browsers.

P.S. If you dun wanna use Cloudflare as the resolver, quad9 can be an (maybe better) option.

The only edge Adguard Home has over PiHole I can think of is its out-of-box support of encrypted DNS upstream and downstream queries (e.g. DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS).

Steam Deck seems to be the wrong device if you are docking it to a TV most of the time... The SoC is optimized for low-to-mid quality on the 800p screen. The situation is similar if not worse than docking a Switch to a large flatscreen TV.

I have been using immich. It supports user accounts and album sharing. And recent updates on the machine learning part have made it a even more potent replacement of Google Photos imo.

I hate to put it this way because libtorrent is a wonderful piece of open-source software maintained by volunteers but as is typical with its history, releases are going to be bumpy.

The main reason is that libtorrent, which is the literal backbone of most torrenting clients, has implemented supported for I2P only recently in its latest v2.x branch.... It takes time for libtorrent to iron out bugs and stablize and it takes more for clients to upgrade their embedded libtorrent to v2.x.

1. The first PCIe x16 slot should be 4.0 only. PCIe 5.0 is not supported until AM5.
2. Most AM4 CPUs support ECC memory. So you can use DDR4 ECC UDIMM with this board. The problem is that the ECC feature support is incomplete.
3. Half of the 8 SATA3 ports are from the chipset while the remaining half is from AM1064.

Mission accomplished I would say. They have proposed a new form factor, kept on making and selling machines conforming to the form factor and showed the market it is feasible. And now when everyone is on board and the form factor is not so new anymore, it's time to leave.

A selfhost option: Bitwarden frontend with Vaultwarden backend.

For such a small load, you may consider those surge protectors/power stripes with battery backup, e.g. APC Back-UPS 600VA. Or you can take a more DIY route and try those DC UPS circuits if your low-power NAS supports direct DC input, i.e. it has a barrel jack for power.

CD Audio came way earlier than mp3.... It is CDDA, Compact Disc Digital Audio. For its spec, please give wiki a read. FLAC is a good lossless alternative to WAV. I have most of my collection in FLAC too.

qBittorrent ftw. It is open source and is being maintained and developed.
