You are roughly describing how Tailscale functions, give it a look

My interpretation of the emojis:

• Colorwheel + Yoga = Convertible laptop with pen/drawing support
• Lighting = Fast
• Controller/Cheetos = Suitable for gaming

Sounds like a best of all worlds, I’m curious :)

+1 for Keepass + Syncthing. Free, no cloud, always synced.

For the CPU: I have a AMD Ryzen 5 8600G in my TrueNAS Scale box, I use the integrated graphics for hardware transcoding in Jellyfin. If you don’t need transcoding it’s probably overkill.

For TrueNAS you’ll also want a lot of RAM, as ZFS (the filesystem) gets faster with more ram by using it as a cache. My box has 32 GB, but 16 GB should also work, especially if you’re going with SSD storage.

And don’t go cheap on the power supply, get an efficient one from a good brand (I prefer BeQuiet).
