Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Yea....

I'm up to over 140T of storage,

I have a FULLY loaded r730XD, 256G of ram, all drive bays filled. All PCIe LANES used. (ie, lots of bifurcation).

I have a proxmox cluster consisting of it, a few SFFs, and a couple MFFs. 10G connectivity for everything but the micros.

Have a ceph cluster. Have a kubernetes cluster. Have iBGP routing in place, multiple firewalls.

I have a bit of everything here. Its a fun hobby.

Oh, and don't forget, a 20kwh entire home UPS / battery backup, with another 2.4kwh dedicated to the server rack.
