I get an electronics workbench or a woodworking workshop, but I still don’t quite understand the purpose of this „home lab“. You can just run stuff on your laptop, or a mini computer in some corner if it’s supposed to run 24/7?
- glitchc 3y agoLooks like it's tailored for SRE-related hobbies.
- AnarchismIsCool 3y agoIt can be for fun or practical. Having access to ECC hardware is a big plus for some stuff so the server racks aren't all for show. It just depends on your goals.
- justinclift 3y agoYeah, it's the same kind of thing as running something 24/7 in a mini computer in some corner, but scaled up. It's fairly common for people that like to muck around with this stuff (or learn it for whatever purpose). Think of it like a hobby I guess. :)

- petepete 3y agoLike with every hobby, YouTube and Reddit push people from having an interest in something to pursuing it to extreme lengths. Many people get so struck by gearlust they lose sight of what piqued their interest in the first place. I'm not immune, I don't think I'd have a Unifi setup at home if I hadn't seen the flashing lights and convinced myself I needed some.
