Started with "I'll just host one thing" and now I'm sitting here looking at old mini PCs, random NUCs, and Facebook Marketplace listings like they're Pokémon cards.

I swear every self-hosted project creates three more projects. You install something simple, then suddenly you're setting up monitoring for the thing, backups for the monitoring, and a dashboard to monitor the monitoring.

The craziest part is that half the fun isn't even using the service. It's staring at Grafana graphs at 2 AM like they contain the secrets of the universe.

Please tell me I'm not the only one whose homelab keeps expanding for absolutely no reason
