Ummm, their SteamDeck runs Pop? Have you modded it? Because last I checked it ran SteamOS (an immutable Arch variant) and used KDE in desktop mode, whereas Pop uses Gnome...
I've built every NAS/home server I've ever had. There's lots of options out there for the case as well. You could take an SFF Mini ITX case with a single 5 1/4" drive bay and put an icy dock 8 x 2.5" SATA backplane in it. Don't know if icy dock (brand) is widely available in Europe...
Just pointing out that if you imagine it (form factor with 8 hot swappable drives) there's probably a solution to build it from scratch.
More than likely. Since the description clearly states "8x3.5 HDD Hot-Swap drive bays." It's not the only case of similar form factor that you can get 8 hot swap drive bays. There are literally tons of NAS case designs to choose from.
The problem isn't with Nextcloud (I had the same issue happen with me). The problem is with the default sync settings on Thunderbird and DAVx5 (at least for me). Thunderbird defaulted to a longer than I wanted synch schedule, so I dropped it down to syncing every 15 minutes. DAVx5 was set to 240 minutes unless the event was created on my phone. Once I updated both schedules to every 15 minutes, I haven't noticed an issue.
I use some of their switches using Home Assistant's Homekit integration. Set them up on wifi in their app, add to HA, then block internet access in my router's firewall. Kind of the best of both worlds at that point.
AM5 sockets are now LGA like Intel. AM4 was the last PGA socket, so bent pins on the chip are a thing of the past. Make sure to leave the socket cover in place while installing the CPU. Now, the fear is bending a pin on the MoBo.
Not to sound flippant, but it seems like a solution looking for a problem. I use the --cleanup flag, and if there's an issue, rolling back is as simple as changing dockerimage:latest to dockerimage:version that worked.
It is pretty robust, allows remapping of key/button bindings, changing of RGB, DPI, etc. Their goal is to replace iCUE. Very robust for mice and keyboards, but they also list other hardware that it is known to work with in their wiki. Might be worth a look.
That looks an awful lot like what I have. I'm using the Lian Li PC-D600. I think I've managed to get my hands on one of the last ones in the wild. They aren't even available used on eBay anymore.
What I like most about it (and the Tower 500 that you linked) is that the motherboard is on one side, and the drives are on the other. Keeping the drives cool is easy, I just upgraded the fans on my SATA backplanes and the case, and even under load the drives run very cool.
You can have this case when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
It used to be. It was called selective availability, where the DoD could dial up/down the accuracy for commercial receivers. However, it was discontinued in 2000.
Vuescan is great, and near as I can tell it's one guy. Totally worth it.
