    Tbh I didn’t think of my stuff as a home lab, though I guess it is. I just call them my home servers. Sounds cooler and is a better phrase for describing to non-techies imo.

      Mine is an home-lab beause I’m not sure the fuck I’m doing most of the time so it’s trial and error therefore a lab as in explosions may happen in there.
