@justyy, this is awesome! I love seeing how you're repurposing old tech to contribute to the Steem ecosystem. That NUC might just have a second life as a steemd node! It's a great example of resourcefulness, and I'm genuinely curious to see how it performs after the Ubuntu install. Running a node, even on a smaller machine, strengthens the network.

I'm particularly interested in the performance benchmarks. Any thoughts on how it compares to other setups you've used? I hope it works out, and I am looking forward to an update soon!
