People who are proud of their gear post it.

You seldom hear from the folks running a half dozen VMs on a laptop.

My home lab is my windows gaming PC running containers on a Ubuntu VM as a guest os in Hyper-V.
We are all over the shop.

I run a cluster of VMs that run kubernetes and manage those VMs with containers that run Terraform and ansible. Along with baremetal RISC-V workflows and ASICs.

A tool is a tool and one should pick what works for them.

That's probably me. Blame it to working with automation systems that span from the early 90s to present day.

PTSD flashbacks of trying to get CFEngine configured for deploying Windows 2k, Redhat 3 and Solaris 8 lmao.

Doing something scrappy with an old laptop is cool. Hey, built in UPS if the battery still works!

Doing something powerful and reliable with server class hardware is also very cool.

If it is meeting your needs, I'm happy for you.

Just because you can afford to lose your weird niche fetish porn doesn't mean I can afford to lose my calendar and contacts

Less power is more power!

Who says it's overkill?

That said I literally started selfhosting on a Thinkpad W520. With the full 32 gigs of ram it ran ESXI great. Plus you can't beat a built in UPS.

I was going to buy a mini PC to run along with it when I needed more, but I just opted to take old desktop parts and combine my NAS with everything else.

Some people actually have the services they host get used by other people.

I also host my stuff on oscilloscopes.

Missing a Raspberry PI 4 setup which hosts a print server, an RTP server with two sirveillance webcams and no password, and also seeds a terabyte of torrents over the local flower shop's unencrypted WiFi.

Embracing constraints makes you learn fast. I bet you could teach enterprise sysadmins a few things about performance monitoring and optimization.

Best I can do is Samsung galaxy A71 with lineage os.

Let's be real though, What's someone doing with three oscilloscopes

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Viewing multiple signals, signal generation, digital signal analysis.

You may be able to do most of that with the newer one on the top of the stack; but it's nice to have backups/spares to use or just to put things on separate screens.

I guess I'm somewhere in between with a bunch of RasPis xD

Working hardware is working hardware; form factor doesn't really matter.

My primary DNS server is a rpi.
