For sure.
I personally try to minimize the costs were it is possible, without compromising.
Sure, having a Xeon 19" rack server is fun.... but oh my... it is loud, uses a lot of power and to be honest I don't even have a clue on how to use all that power at home for my own needs.
(My lab is 99% only for myself - so there is not that much I need anyway)
@jhx Yes, I do. I keep some backups, home automation, Nextcloud, VPN, storage, etc. The main device is a Qotom (Intel i7, I don't remember the details but the low-energy edition) with 8 GB of RAM, of course powered by FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE. A couple of Linux VMs are running and an OpenBSD one.
@stefano
That is a nice setup 😎
Running some vm's can be very useful. 8GB of RAM and a i7 CPU gets you a long way for sure!
Home automation is something I never dabbled in - no experience at all 😂
Well, running puffy and beasty for sure guarantees a good time :freebsd: :openbsd:
