Gemini's Notes (April 11 Review)
- Nitro role: Broadcast & Command Node (NVENC for OBS)
- Keep $10 Breezehost VPS (cloud-first for RV dream)
- Pi #2: Active-passive (Pi-hole + failover, not cold spare)
- Omen: AI Edge Worker with GTX 1050 (not dev server)
- Wild ideas from Gemini: Voice Forge, Pizza Tracker, RV Dry Run, Consultant Corps stream
Michael's Decision (Post-Gemini)
Swapped Nitro and Envy roles. Nitro = home desk machine (power), Envy = mobile (portability + battery + 2-in-1). No longer afraid to break the daily driver since the Envy is designed for mobile use.
