Can’t speak to your exact machine but nowadays the license tends to be tied to the hardware.
If you are capable of manual partitioning then you should be able to reinstall Windows quickly if needed.
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.
The market share and generally more tech savvy user base are probably discouraging.
