Home Lab 1 story

Home Lab deserves its own scope within DIY Electronics & Maker Technology because the decisions and failure modes are specific. The scope centers on a personal test environment for learning and experimenting with servers, virtualization, containers, networking, storage, and infrastructure. Its value comes from safe experimentation, repeatable lab design, segmentation, resource planning, and documenting changes rather than simply accumulating hardware. For NerdsMagazine readers, the practical boundary is how to turn an idea into a reliable project while understanding the hardware and software constraints that can make a prototype succeed or fail.
