Just dealing with Dell about a Latitude 5520 wjth extended warranty.

External displays turning off and on again and system freezing up all the time even after reinstall. And Dell says it's because of wear on the USB-C ports that is barely visible and not covered.

Yeah on that specific board it looks like it’s included . I was just going from experience. I just wired such a sensor to an Arduino the other day and I was having problems without the pull up. I was seeing garbled data packets on the data line.

edit: you can easily confirm this by measuring the resistance between VCC and Data on the sensor.

Do you have a pull up on the DHT20? If not that could explain the reliability issues. 4.7k is needed according to the datasheet.

Not too familiar with the RPi Pico but you might need to disable the internal pull ups if you do that but they are likely too weak so I wouldn’t rely on them.

I did something similar. I used Proxmox and then installed PfSense as a virtual machine. You might want to look into OPNsense and PfSense. There are addons for both that do the same as AdGuard and are free and open source. I had good experiences with pfBlocker

I really would advise against a raspberry. Even a Pi 4 is too slow for transcoding and storage over usb is just too unreliable. I would go with a motherboard with integrated CPU. There is a really good one from Topton with a Celeron N5105 that supports hardware transcoding. I did a build with that recently and I’m really happy with it so far. Power consumption is around 35W with two 18TB sata drives. If you only use one and have it go to standby when not in use you could go even lower.

If you want something prebuilt there is a NAS from terramaster with the same cpu. It uses a an internal USB for OS storage that’s easily replaced. It’s called F2-423.
