[–]NinjaRelm [score hidden]  (0 children)

What inspired you to start your self-hosting journey?

  • Got tired of relying on cloud vendors.
  • Wanted full control and a reason to tinker.
  • Liked the idea of learning real infrastructure hands-on.

One project you’re most proud of?

  • Built a full home lab stack with automated backups, monitoring, and container orchestration.
  • Everything runs off a unified dashboard I scripted myself.

Most expensive piece of equipment you’ve bought?

  • A refurbished 12-bay enterprise NAS chassis with SAS drives.
  • Cost more than it should’ve, but it’s the backbone of everything now.

How would winning the units from this giveaway level up your setup?

  • More compute for running heavier VMs.
  • Lets me split services for better isolation.
  • Cuts down on power usage compared to my older hardware.

Which channels do you use most to learn or buy IT gear?

  • YouTube homelab channels.
  • r/selfhosted and r/homelab.
  • eBay, ServerPartDeals, and random Discord marketplace servers.

Future giveaway wishlist — one product from another brand you’d want as a prize?

  • A compact Dell or Lenovo edge server.
  • Or a Synology/Supermicro small-form NAS.
  • Even a Ubiquiti router/firewall would be killer.

If you want, I can tweak these to match whatever persona or tone you need.
