@phlash @krans @homelab this absolutely the start point - what do you want to achieve? Also I think there’s a question of how much reliability you need/want, which will be influenced by the first question - there’s a world of difference between a machine or two to tinker with stuff you’re interested in on and something you’re going to rely on.
@phlash @krans @homelab I’m the era of symmetric gigabit home internet connections I also question whether most people really want a *home*lab. I do have on site hardware for home automation and local data storage but the beefy server is rented from OVH because who wants the power draw and noise a proper server in their house?
