Be the change you wish to see. Host your own instance

Only if you follow up with the paperwork. A marriage certificate doesn't entitle you to anything aside from an ITIN.

Could you run Tailscale? That way you can still use your internal IPs and just whitelist the tail scale subnet.

You can put multiple shares on the same SMB for Plex. So you can use SMB and also Plex at the same time.

Mini PC and high storage density do not mix too well unfortunately.

Running off a USB bus is fine, but with that, I would still run it through the NAS. That way you can still access the files while aboard.

Used Photo Pro, Robert's camera Ebay store, and /r/photomarket is my primary

KEH is my 2nd choice

MBP is my 3rd choice

That's kinda my issue as well. I have a core 24 port L3 switch that's multigig POE and a 3 disk NAS.

The NAS I could technically downsize with a little bit of tinkering and money.

The switch will be hard to miniaturize.

Thankfully my router is already 1/2U and 1/2 width so that's easy to migrate.

I understand what you mean. The way I did it was a full disk encryption as an "external drive" so the whole disk was encrypted

I'm using Peak Design, but that's also because I have their ecosystem with the car mount and tripod mount.

I just wish davinchi resolve utilizes AMD GPUs better

I usually use Gore-Tex as my outer most layer.

Inside I'll use Merino wool and a cotton mid layer

Oolong specifically Dongfang meiren

Don't know what's your definition of "combat roles" are, but below is the US military definition of Combat Arms.

In the U.S. Army, the following branches were traditionally classified from 1968 until 2001 as the combat arms:

Infantry (1775)

Field Artillery (Artillery 1775/ Re-designated Field Artillery 1968)

Air Defense Artillery (Created 1968)

Armor including Armored Cavalry, Light Cavalry, and formerly, Air Cavalry (Cavalry 1776/ Re-designated Armor 1950)

Since 2001, U.S. Army doctrine has included combat aviation, special operations, and combat engineer forces into the combat arms classification.

United States Marine Corps doctrine designates only Infantry forces as Combat Arms, with all other Ground Combat Element forces (Field Artillery, Assault Amphibian, Combat Engineer, Light Armored Reconnaissance, Reconnaissance, and Tank) considered Combat Support. Air Defense, as a part of Marine Aviation, is contained within the Aviation Combat Element.
