For a nearly a decade this has lurked on the side table to my workspace.
In June of 2014 I bought a steeply discounted Lenovo ThinkPad T510 from my then-employer IBM. Initially, the ThinkPad replaced a very old desktop computer as the main home computer, but the kids gaming needs soon outstripped it and we purchased an HP in 2016 (which we still have). The ThinkPad then became "my" computer for personal use, until I joined Dataiku in 2017 and company policy allowed me to use the work MacBook for personal use.At this point I considered rehoming the ThinkPad, but then realized that I could instead install Linux w/no GUI on it and use it as a personal Dataiku server.
And so it began its lurking, and I started and maintained a number of projects on it, through my switch to Olive and acquisition by Availity. But as my day-to-day work no longer involved Dataiku, I felt more keenly the inability to share those projects the way I can with, say, GitHub. So I started moving Dataiku projects to notebooks in GitHub repos, and today finished moving the last one.
So now it's time to finally wipe and rehome the ThinkPad.
Turn it into a Plex server! That's what I do with my T480. :)
