You know, I'm gonna upvote you just based on the amount of brandnames you know 😁
It's all good points, I'm just gonna pass on this one.
I'm not throwing anything at the project or questioning anyone's parents.. just gonna walk on by...

I wouldn't say most, but I do agree that I won't be using this purely based on name.
As others have asked, desktop or laptop
But also where is it? If it's a "desktop" but on the floor in a deep carpet, tucked against the dark corner of the room under a desk, that's not going to help... bring it out into the air...
And for a laptop... lift it off the desk
I created an MDF raised deck for my laptop, with a massive slot where the fan intake is underneath, that really helped it breathe.
Looking to the future, if cooling is going to be a problem, I like to over spec' the equipment and underutilise it - it's better to run something twice as powerful at half the load... this knowledge came from the hifi world.
TL;DR: I support the change in Rule 3
I think the only thing I'd start rolling my eyes at would be if the posts ended up being low effort photo posts of racks of equipment...
Sure, a nice background story might help, but I want to read about something that'll help me, or help someone understand something I know.
I'm even half interested in cloud based offsite backups as that's a (possibly) necessary safetynet for us.
I think we're grown up enough to signpost OT posts elsewhere rather than cry to the mod(s).
(Oh, and thanks btw... I appreciate what you do)
I can see a lot of opinions & comments on the QR part and, with respect, I'd like to add that I'm reading this post on a device where I'd like to view the site on the same device, so a QR isn't best for this platform.
I'd go a little further and say that QRs and really only useful for a mediim where you want the user to use a 2nd device (printed media, BSODs, etc)
Also putting the URL in the (for my reader) non-clickable alt-text doesn't help either
Again, with respect, you're making it harder for your audience to reach you, not easier.
Yeah, I kinda held on to the old version for a while too TBH, syncthing-fork had a problem where I couldn't get it to work the way I wanted it, so I'd gone back to syncthing, then with all the kerfuffle, I just stayed there.
Some time earlier this year I tentatively upgraded 1 phone and a tablet (it's used as slideshow screensaver...) and it all seems to work ok.
The GUI isn't quite as good as the native webUI, but it's still accessible, so all's good.
There was a change in the syncthing "DB" a while ago, so it might take a while to rescan things if you have a lot of small files, but feel confident to change.

Yeah, I'm using gotify with uptimekuma to notify me when the Pi0's drop off, but only after a good few seconds, otherwise I'd have spam notifications too.
I just don't think the wifi in the Pi0's is stable enough.
But, glad that you've got it working well enough to stream music
Ooh, didn't know about this one. Have you used it?
This seems like an end to Snapcast: https://github.com/orgs/music-assistant/discussions/3883

Yeah, not heard of this either
Following the cross-post to the site: https://twtxt.dev/ it seems this has been going for ~10 years!
It's basically plain text tweets
