I will start first
- I didn’t notice my diy NAS motherboard had Pci-E Gen 2.0 (old gen) before buying it. It’s not a great limitation (still 500MB/s) for the two spinning disks I have on it, but it’d be if I will decide to switch to SSDs
- I cheaped out on the PSU. I bought another one without waiting for that crap to burn down so I eventually spent more
- I often break the software. Sometimes I kill the OS or mess with some BTRFS pools
Sometimes I just feel not adequate for it. Does this kind of things happen to you too?
This is literally the point of a homelab. I mean not so much the hardware stuff, that sucks, but hell yeah, breaking shit is how you learn! You do not learn JACK following a tutorial to the letter and everything going perfectly.
