VLC is such an incredible tool, I use it just about everyday to do everything from just watching a video to recording streams . Don’t forget to donate in some way to your favorite apps. I know the VLC group could use some help to keep them going.

The power edge server is going to draw way more power just because it has a “powerful” cpu(s) and other power running components. The Qnap will be much quieter and consume maybe a few watts less power than your existing setup, potentially. I wouldn’t use it though because your existing setup is way more flexible on what you can do with it.

I use ConnectionManager as a cute part of my “work flow”. Sadly this hasn’t been maintained very well by the original maintainer, but others have picked up the project and are keeping it patched to keep running. https://github.com/sciancio/connectionmanager2

I’m not sure if they still do it or not but they had a tie that would let you look through a 36" telescope. After the tie you had to drive down the mountain with out any headlights.

I would suggest still going to school and get a generalized degree like business administration or something similar. This will give some me time to find that passion, but will also give you a starting point. After you gain some experience in something, what you got a degree in seldom matters in my experience. As you get out and experience me things in life you hopefully will find that passion or passions that you want to turn into your career. Don’t worry if what you are passionate about changes either, that is just you maturing.

If your competition cost more then you can raise your prices too!
