can you use a home server for this is
for the ultra nerdy but honestly this is
like my favorite hobby a home server or
home lab is essentially a play
environment for you to test and try
things without the consequences of
breaking anything important when I used
to have a real job in it I would
replicate the things on our work Network
back at my house that way I could break
troubleshoot and test things without
taking down a multi-hundred dollar
company and lots of people like to play
with virtual machines Nas systems and
self-hosting services and honestly the
biggest thing that I run is just a Plex
server that way my toddlers can watch
the new Buzz Lightyear movie I would
check out YouTube channels like techno
Tim and craft Computing if you're more
