📰 Decommissioned office PCs are the secret home lab upgrade nobody talks about
When I outgrew my Raspberry Pi 4 for my home lab, I assumed upgrading would cost a lot. I’d had Pi-hole and Tailscale running happily on that board for a few years. The moment I started experimenting with Jellyfin and a proper Docker stack, the SBC wasn’t cutting it anymore. So I weighed my options, which ranged from enterprise workstations to mini PCs everyone in the home lab community loves to talk about. Pricing for either ran well past what...

Eventually, most folks end up there, but that isn’t necessary to get started.
