Yikes, this is a pretty judgmental post. I spent my time as a kid joining bands and being in plays, but if someone loves building homelabs, what’s wrong with that?

I love to build at home and expand my knowledge of pure computing, because it’s a love of mine that I don’t actually get to do much of at work.
