Yeah the best part of the home lab hobby is gatekeeping because you spent more than someone else and you need to belittle them to justify how much you spent on your Juniper or whatever.

Plex servers and containerizing all of the services that support it are how I learned to use docker before I became a professional. It’s now turned into a collection of containerized services all talking to each other with dynamic dns on cron, pihole, wireguard, HomeKit running all my appliances and more… I don’t get it. Is it only a homelab if I use it to practice network certification exams? There is some grass fed, organic, grade A level gatekeeping in this thread…and it made me want to rant.
