I will be out of the country that week. Anyone know if postal votes and/or early voting will be a thing for the referendum?

I've been using Photoprism for a while, but found it very resource-heavy for my poor little NAS. Even after finishing ingesting my photo library, and finished tagging all the faces, it still occupies about 50% CPU routinely. However, I can't install Immich because apparently the CPU on my NAS doesn't support AVX required by typesense.. Anyone know of some work-around?

Your one looks a little different. How did you generate it?

That's more-or-less what I thought. And in fact I forgot to add to my post that I also use Pihole on the go via Wireguard, which seems like another hurdle to converting to AdGuard. Thanks.

Hey, not sure if this is the right community, but looking for some information.

I've seen many people strongly recommend AdGuard Home for network-wide ad-blocking either in isolation, or in direct comparison to Pihole. But I can't really find why there is such a strong recommendation. The only clear reason I've seen is that AdGuard is easier to set-up.

However, I already have Pihole set-up on all of my networks on separate Raspberry Pis at each location. I have it running as the DNS server so that every device that connects to the network automatically gets ad-blocking. I have a few groups set-up within Pihole for slightly nuanced blocking


i.e. some of my family still want to use Facebook etc. (on a separate subnet).

So my question is, considering I already have Pihole set-up, am I missing some key benefit that AdGuard Home would provide?

Thanks for this. I had just been manually replacing the youtube.com part of the URL to my favourite Piped instance. The breadth of the addon is great.

I use DuckDNS. There's been only one outage for the ~2 years I've been using it and it's free. I also use DuckDNS to acquire the SSL certificates for the reverse proxy.
