I will start first

  • I didn’t notice my diy NAS motherboard had Pci-E Gen 2.0 (old gen) before buying it. It’s not a great limitation (still 500MB/s) for the two spinning disks I have on it, but it’d be if I will decide to switch to SSDs
  • I cheaped out on the PSU. I bought another one without waiting for that crap to burn down so I eventually spent more
  • I often break the software. Sometimes I kill the OS or mess with some BTRFS pools

Sometimes I just feel not adequate for it. Does this kind of things happen to you too?

    All the time. Why have a home lab if you aren’t going to fuck things up? :)

    Better it happens in the home lab than at work!!

    My first rm -r mistake was a hard pill to swallow… You think this only happens to others or because people don’t take time to look carefully their command…

    Nah… when you’re experimenting new things (grep, exclude certain files, piping other commands, relative path vs absolute, sed, regex…) It can easily do some strange things you didn’t expected beforehand.

    But hey that’s how you learn (I guess?). If everything would be perfect the first time you do something, the world would be annoying ? 😄

    This is literally the point of a homelab. I mean not so much the hardware stuff, that sucks, but hell yeah, breaking shit is how you learn! You do not learn JACK following a tutorial to the letter and everything going perfectly.

    I’ve been using rootless Docker because it’s a good practice, but I’ve been having weird permissions issues that apparently no one else has or, at least, not enough people use rootless to know lol. I have some theories about how to solve it, but it would require a good amount of time. I’m also restructuring my directories so it’s better organized with Syncthing and I have to resolve those permission issues to solve the backup problems I have (mostly DB files that I don’t have permission to copy).

    Using Nginx Proxy Manager instead of Traefik, because I wasn’t using Docker much at the time. Now I can’t be arsed to learn how to use Traefik properly, and change everything over.
