This is extremely light - not a bad setup, but I mean.. it's like 1% of typical Homelabs.

Mother of God, why make this comment? It’s the poster’s setup and they are happy with it. What possible value could denigrating it do? The ol’ ball coach breakin’ em down to build em up shtick is gone and I don’t miss it.

It feels like day 2 after you’ve received the new hard drives. It’s nice, modern enough but still a pretty bog standard home machine, not really “homelab” territory yet.

I too was wondering what made this a homelab. I appreciate the setup, but from the word lab I was expecting at least an oscilloscope. That being said it has cool features I hadn't known about like the image storing system and at home LLM support.

I'm curious about its power consumption on idle, average use, and peak.

Of typical homelabs that are posted and discussed.

The online activity of the homelab community leans towards those who treat it as an enjoyable hobby as opposed to a pragmatic solution.

I'm on the other side of the spectrum. Devops is (at best) a neutral activity; I personally do it because I strongly dislike companies being able to do a rug-pull. I don't think you'll see setups like mine too often, as there isn't anything to brag about or to show off.
