Have you ever committed mistakes while setting up your homelab? - eviltoast

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?

    Yes, I just broke my sso app by upgrading and not making a backup beforehand.
