Same. Happens with my work. I’m sitting on a problem I cannot get past. So I start a group email to see if someone else has had a similar problem before. Halfway through explaining, I find the answer.
At least with an email, you can just close it and pretend it didn’t happen.
You could plug in a USB SSD or HDD and make sure the DB and other regularly written data goes there. That would pretty much remove the problem.
I would wonder how well it would perform. The limited memory and cpu power surely would make database access not great under even moderate load.
