I just did something sort of like what you are doing and after a few hiccups, it's working great. My Synology just couldn't handle transcoding with docker containers running in the background.

Couple differences from your plan: I chose a N100 over the N150 because it used less power and I wasn't loading up CPU dependent tasks on the thing. The N150 is about 30% faster if memory serves, but draws more power. Second, do you really need a second m.2 SSD BTRFS volume? Your Synology is perfectly capable of being the file storage. I'd personally spend the money you'd save buying a smaller N150 device on a tasty drive to expand the existing capacity then start a second pool from scratch.

Finally, I wouldn't worry about converting media unless you are seriously pinched for space. Every time you do, you lose quality.

I also prefer 100% natural ground insects in my food over artificial dyes.

(Just teasing for funsies)

Since downloading copyright material is legal for training apparently, I'd be glad to help train a privacy respecting distributed LLM. 😉

/s of course. But you have a very interesting idea!

Ditto to your comment except power usage. I moved my Plex/Jellyfin (and hopefully Immich soon) docker containers to an N100 for the hardware acceleration. TDP is 6 watts on some of these devices and CPU use sits around 2% unless Plex is doing DB optimizations (about 60% for a bit). I haven't measured consumption or my older server, but I feel moving some CPU intensive services to hardware GPU is saving a few watts.

We used FM transmitters for those guys back in the day. Plug it in the headphone port and tune the stations.

Terrorism is scaring/harming people to manipulate government.

Tesla is neither government nor their property damage is scaring people.

More trumped-up charges.

(It is hilariously fitting Trump the man and Trump the word fit so gand-in-hand)

While it is easy to connect some dots and draw an opinion, without due process all are innocent until proven guilty. Free Speech is not free of conquences and what seems like a logical conclusion today is not a guarantee at the end of the trial. There is no oopsiedaisy exception in libel law.

Hahaha. Take the tour first and see if it's up to snuff.

Haha thanks bud. Me too. Just in panic mode.

Uh, I have about 4 months of rent left in my bank, a couple rejection messages from companies kind enough to reply, and desperately gathering scratch from inconsistent under-the-table labor.

I'll let you know.

... Well, as long as I pay my Internet bill ...

Hey DOGE, I found some wasteful spending.

That'd make an ok protest sign.
