  "textContent": "hardware upgrade\n\nUpgraded from the M2 Mac Mini (daily driver since August 2023) to the M4. The M2 wasn't struggling — it handled everything with quiet competence — but the M4 offered better performance headroom for running self-hosted services alongside daily use. The M2 served as both the primary machine and the Minecraft server; the M4 continues that role with more capacity. Also picked up a 2TB Crucial X9 SSD for external storage.",
