To people negging about the CPU being under powered:
File sharing, media management, a couple of services for a handful of clients... It's perfectly fine.
At 10W in with a tiny footprint it's great when you don't need any more computing power and next winter electricity bill drops.
Not everybody needs a full racks of decommissioned Xeons and arrays on arrays of RAIDs that draw juice like an industrial fruit press regardless it's in use or not.

They are perfectly fine for a home NAS.

Reddit, X/Twitter, Facebook... I'm here to get away from all of those.
Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse doesn't have to exist in contrast to other social media.
It can just be.

Something like that, yeah. It was introduced conveniently after the YouTube Vanced crackdown.

I've got €6/m ad free but without premium features. YT tries to make me upgrade but this is enough for me. I wouldn't pay €12/m but I'd rather go looking for adblockers and third party apps should it come to it.

@ernest It would be handy to be able to block all magazines from an entire domain without having to check every single one as new ones are trending in the global feeds. In my case feddit.de - not because antagonism but because I don't understand German. I'd imagine this be a future issue as more language dedicated servers emerge.

@ebikefolder I found activated coal pellets for air purification use on amazon.

@AdminWorker Thanks. While disassembling I realized it doesn't seem to leak grease through as I mistakenly thought first, but now I think the casing leaks tiny amounts of unfiltered air that builds up a layer of grease over the years. So I used kitchen spray and paper to gently clean the clogged entry surface area of the filter. It seems to have good suction power, we'll see if the coal still works.
Otherwise, I've found active coal pellets for air purification use on amazon and figure it should be possible to cut the felt on entry side open, replace coal with new and glue on some new felt.
I doubt it's any particular high end coal in these filters and that the €150 price is because of $2 proprietary plastic frame so they can.

@CadeJohnson In my case it is recirculating the air so it does need to trap both grease and odors.

There is a steel mesh under that is washable and a carbon filter inside. It's a recirculating system so exhaust is back into the kitchen.
My kitchen stove hood fan needs a new carbon filter as the current one lookes pretty caked with grease from the previous owners of the place. It turns out the manufacturers filters cost €150 which I find a bit excessive. Filters seem to be the printer ink of the kitchen. So I'm thinking either if it is possible to clean out the current one, or reuse the casing and refill it with some bulk carbon filter material, if there is such to be found. I have no idea, I've never done anything of this sort before. Experiences, ideas, suggestions much appreciated. Edit: There is a metal mesh under that is washable, but also an [internal filter](https://i.imgur.com/2uwvLZF.png), as the hood is recirculating the air back into the kitchen. My apartment building does not allow kitchen fan exhaust into the ventilation system.

R.E.M. - Orange Crush was the first that popped up to mind. No idea why. Haven't even thought of that song in like ten years.
