For months, I've been working on Project MINI RACK, a resource for mini homelabs, portable RF rigs, and more!
I hinted at it yesterday, but today I published a video, a blog post, and a full GitHub repo to help others build compact, efficient equipment racks! 🧵

All y'all building server racks and homelabs and junk should plug all that stuff into an energy monitor and reflect on whether it's truly worth it.

Excuse me did you just call being anti-data centers NIMBYism?

Homelab tip: Document what you’re doing. Even simple notes will save you when you forget that one weird setting you tweaked at 2 a.m.
And remember—homelabs aren’t about perfection; they’re about learning, breaking, fixing, and growing! 🛠️💻 #cybersecurity #womeninstem #hacking #homelab
