Tbh, just run the Ubuntu box headless and ssh into it. You can do anything you’d need to. Even better, swap it to Debian or something like that, because Ubuntu is unfortunately kinda undergoing gradual enshitification lately.

+1 - GL.iNet is cheap as hell and perfectly functional. It runs DD-WRT under the covers, and it’s super easy to “unlock” the full powers of the distro (literally a toggle in the basic ui, iirc). Used it on a longer trip my partner and I took a few months ago, and it was great! On-device storage is paltry, but, well, that’s not what it’s for.

For SSDs, enterprise-tier drives typically set aside a lot more dedicated space for wear management. So in many cases, it’s actually a 1TB (or 2 -> 1.8T, etc) drive, but the disk controller/firmware only allows addressing a subset of the “true” capacity.
It’s a common enterprise size
Codeberg is great too
Lmao I am both amused and horrified that I had somehow never come across this datapoint before
Heh, I’ve got one banging around in a drawer somewhere - I should play with that a bit and see how modern devices interact with it
Codeberg is where it’s at
You sound like you work in product
deditated WAM
No worries. Cheers, and good luck finding a system to suit your needs!
No, for 2 reasons:
I know but that isn’t a snappy one-liner
lol but MS just recalled Recall
They support NVMe and have a PCIE riser; if you get the little adapter from Lenovo’s proprietary slot to standard PCIE, you can run it as a nic, or get an HBA with external SFF-8008 ports and then find a cheap enclosure to use as a custom DAS solution.
I would recommend:
Some foundational questions:
Holy shit dude. You can take like a quarter of that and make an absolutely silly system, and make a decent chunk of change selling the rest.
Note that some issue devices have VT-x disabled and the bios locked down by Corp IT for one reason or another, so a VM may not actually be possible from the work issue device here.
