not portable anymore so why bother, could be just separate nas

But I do not have a separate NAS. I do have a laptop I want to use as a NAS.

yeah and 3d printer and money for parts and time, but not old pc for nas, sure. Wonderful story
Replying to @user_user@lemmy.zip
maybe a friend has the 3d printer? also, reduce, reuse, recycle. and finally, it likely consumes less power.

Nas is expensive and old laptop is free

bro doesn’t get it. A substantial subset of selfhosting is using old tired stuff to make new sweet stuff. The only new parts on my machines are nvme ssds for the OSes and plugs and wire adapters. Everything else is yanked from an ancient unit or bought from ebay for pennies on the dollar of new. My services are free and my machines were close.

hold on, i’m sure we can find something with two similar sized wheels and MAKE it portable.
