  1. This hobby is very addicting...

    My original plan was just to get an organized 8-port network switch for my Macs. I didn't expect to get this deep into homelabbing. But what surprised me even more was not the expenses, it's how...

  2. I just wanted better Wi-Fi… somehow I ended up with 2.3 Gbps fiber, 7 PCs, a NAS, and an AI supercomputer. Send help.

  6. New to homelabbing. Picked up 3x HP Z2 Mini G9s cheap and need a roadmap / advice on where to start.

  10. My hate for Nest and Eufy led me here
