Stumbled on his other article[1] on HN recently and I forgot to subscribe (RSS). I love the writings. Reading this article (Homelab Setup), I was thinking, that this is way overdone. Then, I quickly browsed around and love this guy’s life — Fatih has good taste. I'm inspired by the Homelab setup.

Thanks a lot for the kind words. I agree that certain parts (such as the Rack building process) were overdone, but where I live and how I live impacted some of these decisions.

I agree with the OP, you have impeccable taste. I fairly recently watched a documentary on Dieter Rams and have been somewhat obsessed since, looking forward to going through your back catalogue of posts.

Whenever I get the urge to go full on homelab like this, I remind myself that my poor wife will have to deal with the whole thing if I pass away. I’ve sort of settled on just having a single small home Linux server that backs up otherwise accessible cloud stuff that my wife can manage. I can still appreciate your setup though…

Little is overdone for creating beginners who need to go slow the first time, and then pretty quick after that.
