Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

    Homelab for me too. Started off with a repurposed gaming PC and exploded into multiple hosts, tons of drives, and an itch to keep expanding

      Yea…

      I’m up to over 140T of storage,

      I have a FULLY loaded r730XD, 256G of ram, all drive bays filled. All PCIe LANES used. (ie, lots of bifurcation).

      I have a proxmox cluster consisting of it, a few SFFs, and a couple MFFs. 10G connectivity for everything but the micros.

      Have a ceph cluster. Have a kubernetes cluster. Have iBGP routing in place, multiple firewalls.

      I have a bit of everything here. Its a fun hobby.

      Oh, and don’t forget, a 20kwh entire home UPS / battery backup, with another 2.4kwh dedicated to the server rack.
