dont be such a sook. if you're not making money off it, its a homelab. If its just infrastucure to run your house its then you wouldnt be blogging about it.

your about says: Hi! I’m Neeraj Adhikari. I work as a software engineer. I love free and open-source software, care about data privacy and dabble in self-hosting.

which tends to indicate a degree of "labbing".. if it wasnt and you were treating it like a fridge or a washing machine, you wouldn't be "dabbling" in it. you'd be installing it then not bothering to mention you have.

I definitely have a homelab, though I’ve tried to keep mine concealed and out of the way. It’s fairly reliable, but so overkill I wouldn’t want to talk to loudly about it in fear that people would burst my tiny little bubble of justification.

I do have a really cool washing machine from Miele that has a cartridge system in the bottom so that I don’t have to measure out detergent by hand. Just press a button.

But I’m not OP.
