This is a me thing and not related to this video specifically, but I absolutely hate that we’ve settled on “homelab” as a term for “I have software in some computer I expose to my home network”.
It makes sense if you are also a system administrator of an online service and you’re testing stuff before you deploy it, but a home server isn’t a “lab” for anything, it’s the final server you’re using and don’t plan to do anything else with. Your kitchen isn’t a “test kitchen” just because you’re serving food to your family.
Sorry, pet peeve over. The video is actually ok.
I think of it as a lab because it’s my sandbox for me to do crazy server stuff at home that I’d never do on my production network at work, and I think that’s why the name stuck, because back when systems were expensive as heck it was pretty much just us sysadmin guys hauling home old gear to mess with.
Great video. Made me reconsider using mergerfs and snapraid instead of zfs. invidious link.
