Hi guys, I am thinking of selling my old server which until now I have been using as a mini home lab. But now that I have a dedi on hetzner, I don’t really see the point of keeping it around. What do you guys use your home lab for and why do you prefer it over cloud hosting?

    I host many services on my server. Just to list a few: my website, Jellyfin, Lemmy, a Monero node, and Nextcloud.

    My main reasons for choosing home-hosting over cloud-hosting are:

    • Full Privacy
    • Complete Data Ownership
    • Local Access
