I think this misunderstands the point of the parent comment. They're not saying "replicate your work environment so that you can test your things at home", they're saying "replicate your work environment so you can learn best practices and apply your learnings at home when you're at work".
There's a stark difference in that the things you host and do with your home setup are your own, but the learnings and technologies can be applied more broadly.
- bregma 6y agoYes, you should subsidize your employer by investing in your own specialized training and your own specialized equipment. With all the cutbacks the government isn't doing that for them any more so it's up to you to deliver solid value to the shareholders and quarter-over-quarter growth.
- mynameisvlad 6y agoEither you're exceptionally dense or you're purposefully ignoring the point. If you're setting up a homelab, you might as well use industry best practices for it.
