Honey I shrunk the Lab

Wow, you’re right. I just checked eBay here in the US, and a 2018 mini is typically less than a similarly equipped Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q. The 2018 mini prices probably are dropping because they will be EOL soon plus they don't compare to Apple Silicon performance. On the other hand, prices of Len

Building a budget pfsense router.

The ThinkCentre M720q/M920q Tiny is very similar to the M900 you mentioned, but it has a riser that allows you to install a standard PCIe card. https://norbertas.com/blog/lenovo-m720q-router/ is an example from 5 years ago.

first time server as a young person

I'm not sure if there's any low-zero cost ways to 'test' this out first but some threads mentioned running the setup on a old laptop first or something like that.

Pfsense/n100 and wifi7tri ap for < £400?

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q/M920q Tiny has a PCIe riser available so you can put a standard NIC in it. With a server pull Intel X550 or X710 card, it's about US$250-300 total to make a nice little dual-port 10Gb router.

Beginner with $250 and zero Linux experience - talk me out of buying the wrong thing

I am late to the party, but I hope you read this, OP. For $250, what should I actually be hunting on the used market? 1L Tiny/Mini/Micro PCs are great, but they make better "compute" nodes IMO. One of these can be a good starting point with the understanding that storage will be limited initially, a

Looking for Self Hosting Tips

The R Pi is kinda expensive these days. You can find a used older generation computer and run one of the open router OS's. Then use WAP'S (Wi-Fi Access Point) where needed from like Unifi or Omada etc OpnSense is also another great option for an OS. OpnSense or any open router hardware options Netga
