Use WSL on the laptop for ssh, that’s actually a VM. VM separation should work correctly, or we have a much bigger problem. Just reset WSL, everything should be wiped related to the ssh sessions. Work IT would maybe allow that.

One of them is a laptop, why ssh to the server isn’t an option? Set up tmux on the server so it always connects to the same session, so you can just continue where you left last time. If you need desktop support, rdp in gnome works really well.

E.g if you connect with this command, and tmux is installed on the server, it will start a new session named “main”. If a session with that name exists it will connect to that:

ssh -t pi@192.168.1.2 tmux new-session -A -s main

Add something to .bashrc on the server to always do the same if you work on that phisically:

if command -v tmux &> /dev/null && [ -n "$PS1" ] && [[ ! "$TERM" =~ screen ]] && [[ ! "$TERM" =~ tmux ]] && [ -z "$TMUX" ]; then
tmux new-session
fi

Buy a better case for the mobo. I modded once an mITX motherboard to an ancient HP Proliant microserver case, it’s not that hard. Mobos like this doesn’t have standard screw distances, but you don’t have to secure all screws in a ghetto server. 2 screws and some padding is enough, with 3 screws you are overengineering.

It’s a Fujitsu W26361 There isn’t a lot of info about it on the net, all the links are rotten.

You have a sata port. You have to use an external power supply for that. Or maybe one of the pins next to it can supply the required voltage, you can use a multimeter to figure it out if you are brave. I guess the white one labeled PWR should be supply some volts. To be safe you can split the power of the other sata ssd or buy something like this:

You also have 2 an mPCIe or mSATA port. It’s impossible to tell the difference from a photo, because they use the same connector.

Without any more knowledge I would guess at least one of them is an mPCIe. Having 2 sata ports and an 2 mSATA next to it would be strange, they could use the mPCIe for a 3G modem or wifi, it would make more sense in a thin client like this.

If it’s an mPCIe you can buy a sata expansion there and even connect up to 4 sata drives. Looks like something like this:

You can convert it to normal PCIe or m.2, the possibilities are endless:

If it’s not mPCIe but mSATA, you can buy mSATA SSD there, they are really rare nowadays. Or you can buy an mSATA to SATA adapter:

Caldav is a protocol to sync tasks and calendar events. Kanban is a way to sort/display tasks. The to things are orthogonal.

I used nextcloud deck, a kanban board. Lo and behold, it uses calendar tasks under the hood, and you can sync them with caldav. Obviously you loose some features from the kanban board, but it’s a perfect middleground if you are nit a heavy kanban user.

For my tasks I use Nextcloud Tasks via caldav. Do you plan to add caldav support? You could solve the problem of missing native apps with this as well, as caldav is supported in a lot of desktop calendar apps (e.g. Thunderbird), and android has the genial opentasks app which uses the same standard.
