For developer like me, I'm actually considering this option, it would be great to have PC like this available for some docker stuff as well, ie. MSSQL instance for development (Azure MSSQL version that runs on M1 is shit slow to the point it's unusable for development). Maybe even some tests could be offloaded from dev machine to this one etc. Would be nice to have single place for backups, photo library etc.

Why not just use your development machine for development?

Also, why not use a remote server for deployment, testing, and building docker images? Most roles I have had offer such services (remote servers) as part of their costing so wouldn't cost you time, money, or effort.

I agree that having a single place to backup photos etc, is important. I use an external SSD for such a purpose as imo it's more useful to have it offline as I rarely add data and it is less likely to be comprised, e.g., it my machine was hacked.

He said the M1 versions of MSSQL performs terribly
