>Anyone else annoyed at how narrow the term Homelab really is relative to what it could be?

I wasn't before I read this thread!

I mean, my "home lab" are old computers from 2008 to 2016 and half of what I "do" involves simply testing what weird installations (eg netbsd) I can get up and running. It's for tinkering -playing; the "lab" part coming from experimentation: "What happens when I do this...?"

I agree when it comes to the definition being to narrow. Then again, I mostly engage with it on /r/homelab and the HN attitude seems to be much more restrictive...too restrictive for my tastes, personally.
