Personally love Piped and the LibreTube app. I'm using the smnz.de instance for steaming and adminforge.de for authentication. Been super stable over the last few months.

Been using DuckDuckGo for a long time but I recently trialed Kagi and have been quite impressed! It's not free but hopefully it keeps the enshittification away for a bit longer.

That's cool! I've used enough raspberry pi's over the years to know that SD cards, even if industrial grade are likely to fail at some point so I try to avoid booting from them. eMMC would be much better but sometimes a pain to flash depending on the tooling available. Having a SATA port would allow to use HDDs which provide a lot of capacity for cheap. I guess the processor needs to be an Amlogic for the best media experience?

Do you have a ooni koda? How long do you preheat it again after one pie is done? My stone temp drops a bunch during cooking and I often found 10 minutes of heating are necessary to get back up to temp.

They are indeed encrypted but the encryption key is stored in the user's profile on disk, which defies the purpose.
