The "homelab" modifier does a lot of work. When I read homelab I was expecting "easy way for non tech person to do computer magic."

When I read about a "gun fight" I am expecting to read about violence and carnage. If you put the word "water" in front of it I am no longer expecting violence and carnage in a wet environment. Homelab changes the definition of everything that comes after it much like water changes the definition of gun fight.

Isn't that hypocritical? The very nature of a home lab means whoever owns it is a tech person. A "non tech person" wouldn't even know what a home lab is, at least in the context of computers and technology.


I do not think it is hypocritical. I did not behave in a manner that contradicts something I have said or believe.
