Hi guys, I am thinking of selling my old server which until now I have been using as a mini home lab. But now that I have a dedi on hetzner, I don’t really see the point of keeping it around. What do you guys use your home lab for and why do you prefer it over cloud hosting?
I host a couple of encrypted snapshots in the cloud (stuff that I can’t afford to lose), but it’s still vastly cheaper to host a massive amount of data locally.
The stuff I have locally mostly stuff I can recover elsewhere (yarr), so redundancy without backup is good enough cost-wise.
