Stop the hate (alien.top)

I'll probably get super downvoted for this but...

Can we please, for the love of homelab, stop shitting on folks who are excited to share their hardware specs/setup/scores, no matter how old their setup is?

These are some of what I consider low effort comments and I'm seeing more of them each post:

"nice heater"
"good luck with your electric bill"
"you could have bough X for that price" (unsolicited advice)

Home labs are LABS (woof). We tinker, we learn, we play. If someone scores an "ewaste" blade system for $200 that's 1kwh to run with the processing power of a potato, let's be happy for them. There's value and fun in these systems. It's not YOUR lab, it's not YOUR electric bill, it's not YOUR space heater, it's not YOUR hearing to worry about.

Let's make this sub higher quality.

Don’t see how “nice space heater” can be seen as hate, that is essentially all the we are building here. Our space heaters are multi purpose ;).
