It would be nice if Frigate supported the NPU in AMD CPUs. Then it could be used for object detection with CCTV cameras.

Even with multiple monitors, they are still useful. I use them to separate different tasks so I can switch back and forth with a keyboard shortcut.
It's pretty pointless if you allow it to use Microsoft's keys. It's a lot of work to set it up to only use your keys and that bricks certain poorly designed laptops.
You can put each service on a separate subdomain and they will work fine.
On single sided PCBs, you can do a toner transfer on the component side for a silkscreen. You can apply solder mask too, but it's a rather messy process.
Read the documentation. There are tools and features that will make some stuff a lot easier if you know about them.
Get familiar with creating your own symbols and footprints. No CAD program will have all the parts you need.
Don't modify the libraries that come with KiCAD. Those changes will be lost when you update KiCAD. If you need to modify a part, create a new library and copy the part into it.
Double check footprints before you make the board. It's no fun finding out the part doesn't fit when you go to solder it.
Set the design rules to match the capabilities of the PCB manufacturer and run a design rule check before making the board. Don't use the smallest traces and spaces they support if you don't have to.
I would recommend using KiCAD for PCB design. You can either export the gerber files and send them to a PCB fab or you can etch or mill the board at home.
Add the RSS feed for /r/OpenSignups to your feed reader. Wait for a good tracker to open up. TorrentLeech was open last week. It will probably be quite a while until they open again, but that's a good tracker that's easy to get onto.
The other option is to interview for MyAnonaMouse or Redacted. They have invite forums that you can use to sign up for other trackers once you get access to it.
Kuiper and Guowang are currently launching satellites. It will probably be a few years before they are operational though.
Most routers don't support open source firmware. If you want privacy and firmware updates, it needs to be supported by OpenWRT.
Check the user manual. See if it supports loading a BIOS image from a flash drive.
You can use object detection to send an alert if there is a person in your yard or if a car pulls into your driveway. It avoids the frequent false alerts you get with normal motion detection.
