Relax, buddy - they've been licked clean...

Your understanding is wrong. Pihole runs a modified version of [DNSMasq, which is a literal DNS…
Home Assistant on a Pi 4, Pihole on a Pi Zero, and I've just put Octoprint on a Pi 4. While I understand I could host all of these as…
Pihole *is* DNS.

I'm not knocking Mrs Chutney's Balls, but Aldi's whole range of South African marinades, spices and sauces on that day that are worth…

I'm hoping it comes filled Jason Bourne-style with a fake passport and wads of cash.

These would be an upgrade for metal - lots more bass and sub-bass, for starters. That said, if you're on Android there are equaliser apps…

I bought these from Amazon a couple of months back at $125.70 and thought they were great value then. Strong connection, good noise…

It's apparently a little brighter and less bassy. Still very good, but the II's are better.
It was Mayver crunchy salted peanut butter; I'm assuming it's the same ingredients no matter what the size of the jar.
Let me rephrase that since I'm getting downvotes - last night my local Aldi had massive jars on the discounted "left over from weekly…
That was on special at Aldi the other week; while I don't remember the price I remember thinking it was reasonable.
If anyone's interested, Bose's website doesn't mention any codec support, but [RTing's review mentions ATPX, APTX adaptive in two flavours…

Yeah, so that Seagate doc is (again) mostly fluff. NAS drives spend less time trying to recover from errors, but that doesn't distinguish…

How are they optimised differently? Same disk spinning at the same speed in the same direction, same heads, and the only thing that would…

Take a look at EqualiserAPO (and Peace, which is a GUI for it) as it's a system-wide equaliser for Windows. It should be able to tame that…

Any of them; they've all got the same processor, and more storage and RAM than you need.

You'll need it for clipping filament from your 3D printer, which you'll be buying shortly.

I have more faith in Intel's ability to fix drivers than I do Realtek's. Realtek's Linux support has been iffy for over a decade; Intel's…
