Downside: breaking changes are fairly common AFAIK.

Public-facing services need at least a minimum level of security protection. All of my services are protected by the reverse proxy Caddy, and Crowdsec protects my system and services from malicious bots. My Flirt 2’s firewall bans all malicious bots that Crowdsec discovers.

Yay… It will be expensive to build an AM4 system now…
AMD = Awesome!
Nvidia = A heck lot more better than a few years ago. A Many users do not have a problem.
