Interesting. Is it cheaper to build a server rack, or buy one?
at least for me building is way cheaper than new, probably could find a used one for around the same price which is what I may end up doing.
What could / should be done on a home server?
Test lab for production software, a chat server a mumble server, a home file server Plex server I could go on for a while considering I have 3 running at the moment.
Edit: 3 physical servers I think I’m over 20 vms at this point.
Is there a big reason I could/should make one?
speaking of DIY, where did this sub's founder go?
Well if you have a passion for technology learning about virtualization is fun and it gives you a sandbox to try stuff out. I’m going to test pihole soon, and say good bye to ads period on my network forever no browser extension needed.
No idea I probably scared them off with the vote logs that pissed off a bunch of people but it was the most effective way to deal with the brigading that was happening early on.
I’ll be doing this one soon.
