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?

God damn dude. You are running a medium size office at this point. Not a home lab. Also why did you decide to go with 2 different data center and what's the purpose of the data center in taxes(I can't see the text very well from mobile). Also what is your current IP schema for home and DC.

Ohio runs my personal server in a data center. Handles email, personal websites such as justin-lloyd.com (down and to the right if you're on desktop), offsite-backup. Texas data center is a web application server hosting a "funny pictures" website I am building in my spare time. MS SQL => Kestrel => NGINX = ATS => Android/iOS/Web/Terminal clients.
