NUC is a mini PC
okay that answers that, damn that's a lot of sats gone 😭

Hey, what is a NUC?
Seed lets you recover the onchain wallet of that node, but without a channel state - you need a backup file for that, that you can generate within the Hub.
If you have only seed left and can't recover the Hub, we'd recommend contacting channel partners to close your channels early.
We'd appreciate if you follow up on support@getalby.com with details!

So this is a mini bomb or mini server? 😄
They are not gone - sats from your side of closed channels will fall back to the onchain wallet, backed up by your 12 words. However, your channels are still probably opened, so you either need to wait some time till counterparty closes it, or ask them to close earlier.
lol yeah a mini Ubuntu bomb.. the board literally fried - I stupidly had it on its side behind my PC blocking the vents 🤦♂️
