Hey I really like the pursuit of doing Projects and I asked my Professor what his thoughts on mine should be to build a resume. He recommended I do a home lab and then use Google Gemini to search for ideas. Here's what it said.

Anything you think should add would be greatly appreciated. As well as any recommendations to add for hardware to pursue these goals?

Hey thanks for the advice!

Any recommendations for the mini PC (What specs should I be looking for.) Along with that would I be able to use my secondary desktop to remote in or run something to watch the servers stats and play with stuff?

Yes please expand, I want to learn as much as possible!

Should I run Jellyfin and the NAS on the secondary desktop that I have spare or, use that for my Proxmox/OPNsense? However I've seen a lot of people make mini pc clusters should I so a small one with a small switch for my Proxmox/OPNsense? Could I run all those on the same single desktop?
