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.
@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.
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.
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.
