    Dude, I do not pretend understand the inner machinations of a Lemmy mod. Rule 3 seems a blanket coverage for a lot of threads. But, I’m still out here repeating your recommends. Seems like it would be a jammy server for Docker containers at a good price.

      Haha. No worries and no hard feelings towards the mods. This little computer has been a great machine for a bunch of things running on it. I installed debian on it and went to town. I’ve even made my Synology NAS a mounted storage on it and switched everything to debian. Thing’s been a champ with no hiccups.

        Ever since you posted that, I’ve been tinkering with the notion of replacing one of my Dell T320s with just such a unit. The Dell T320 have been good servers but cost me about $35 USD per month to run, whereas the Dell OptiPlex 3050 Micro you recommended would cost me about $3 to $5 to run per month. So, just in power savings alone, would pay for itself in less than a year. The Dell T320s put out a decent amount of heat as well, and aren’t so quiet…which doesn’t bother me as much since I’m clinically deaf. LOL
