When does it stop being homelab and become homeserver? (alien.top)

I diagrammed out my home lab/home server setup, mostly to keep a complete overview of how everything connects. I didn't want to get bogged down in aesthetics around colour scheme, or layout -- as you can no doubt tell. After a while diagramming it started to feel like a meme where I was trying to convey some crazy conspiracy theory on a wall of pinned paperwork and connecting threads. I think I am done documenting everything. But now I am wondering how obsessive I should be about detailing every little thing and VLANs and IP assignments. I don't really care if it looks like a dog's dinner, I really just care about "okay, where does this wire go to?" Is that the right approach?

A homelab is whatever you use to tinker and try things out A homeserver is whatever you use for stable workloads

Both can coexist at the time

Next level is a home datacenter, and that's where you have a 24 U rack or something that shouldn't fit in an apartment You have a homedatacenter!

I'm if you can post more about the hardware software and network config really curious about your setup, it looks well thought

Ummmm my 375 TB array and 256 GB of GPU is a home lab thank you very much. I’ve only got 18U of 24 filled!

Side note: how should we brag about gpu power? What is the proper metric/terminology?

I think kWh is the correct unit :)

Those are rookie numbers, I'm measuring GPUs by the amount of nuclear reactors required to power my setup.

So far it's at 12 and I've made Jensen's christmas card list.
