I would go with 16GB for the kinds of things you listed.

If you don’t need a 3.5in drive then I would go even smaller to a mini form factor. It will definitely save you money on electricity. I think it’s the main choice here.

Key-only SSH with fail2ban and I sleep easy a night.

I would go for refurb, business line SFF machines. Something like ThinkCentre or Optiplex. Specific form factor based on drive needs but the smaller you go the more power efficient. I have one on the bigger side (internal psu) that runs about 12W idle.

Just double check that it can handle hardware transcoding. Should fit right in your budget!

This level of precision doesn’t make sense. I wouldn’t go any higher than 5 digits which is already meter accuracy.

Especially in the context of a portfolio, this would count against you for geospatial software roles.

Gitlab pipelines are super nice to use and integrate nicely with merge requests.

I like the Github UI, clean and simple, but down like what comes along with it…

Interested in self hosting forejo but I’m mostly coding at work these days.

I use Immich for sharing. Get some accounts set up for closest family so you can easily add them to albums. For others you can just share a link to each album, password protected or simply unlisted.

Personally, I run my internet accessible apps on my Hetzner VM behind a reverse proxy, whereas things like home automation, DNS and Octoprint I prefer to serve on my local network.

Can highly recommend tldr as a companion to man!

Same as any piece of software you’re hosting, it’s up to you to decide. I run my instance on my Hetzner vm.

I do -azP for compression

Tilix is great but also unmaintained.

Also my go-to, I prefer everything in version control instead of someone else’s cloud.

IIRC, Pycharm can also inject the same .rest files.

curl?

Gnome Files with Thunar.

It’s the perfect file manager for a user like me.

I also started with Hoary Hedgehog!

I remember getting the pressed CDs in the mail for free. It was my first installed distribution but I remember messing around with a Slax Live CD before.

The only thing I really miss is CAD software for working with BREPs, I wish there was Rhino for Linux. However, I can do like 99% of projects in OpenSCAD.
