Yeah but good luck building out homelab these days. Too expensive

So long as you don't need to stockpile old shows you never watch, you can get by on an old laptop and possibly an external drive.

My homelab started out on a Raspberry Pi 2b. Most of the hardware Ive brought online were dumpster specials someone else didn't want. It can be done on the cheap. Won't necessarily be reliable, but it can be done cheap.

Where the fun in not hoarding old childhood shows and movies ;)
