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?

    I mostly learn from mistakes, and since homelabs are all about learning, there are bound to be mistakes.

    I’ve borked my network multiple times, broken VMs, and redesigned things from the ground up, again.

    Big lesson is to have backups. Lol
