No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

My hobby of home automation, and running a home lab REALLY stopped up.
Pre-pandemic, I had a single server, pretty small, quiet, low energy usage. Post-pandemic, I have a full rack, redundant power, and tons of resources, and hundreds of containers and services.
Home automation: Pre-pandemic, I didn't have too much. Few security cameras, and a small handful of devices, mostly controlled by alexa. Post-pandemic, I can tell you every time you forget to wash your hands after taking a shit. I know exactly how much energy and instantaneous power nearly every device in my house uses. I have automated just about anything you can imagine. Pools, opening windows, controlling a fireplace, scaring cats away from the kitchen table.... you name it, and I have likely automated it and/or built hardware to automate it.
My other big hobby, was working on automotive projects: Pre-pandemic, I build a 1,000hp street-legal "race-car". Would drive it to work occasionally. Spent a lot of time in my garage with tig welders, plasma cutters, metal lathes... etc. Post-pandemic, I honestly have not touched anything in my garage in years. I don't really drive anywhere due to being full time WFH. So, I have not had much interest in messing with it. Also, its been really hot the last few years.
Wow, that's really cool!
I really don't feel comfortable asking, but I'm going to anyways. How much have you spent? A range would be acceptable if you don't want to say the exact amount.
Hundreds of containers? Do you have a list handy? Been doing this for years and I may have 2 dozen
I used to have a list, somewhere. But. will, instead summarize it a bit.
External-facing websites (for both myself, and hosted for other clients).
A few discord bots I created, and host.
10-20 containers for home-automation.
10-15 containers for "Media" management.
A handful of containers for document/photo archival / storage / etc.
Containers for managing storage, backups. etc.
Containers for network management (unifi), SMTP, etc.
Containers for monitoring.
Keep in mind, most common "applications" will run at least two containers (one for the app, one for the database), and, occasionally a redis container.
I run services redundantly when possible. Ie- traefik runs as a daemonset, across all of my nodes. As does longhorn storage.
That being said, I'd guess I am only running around 40-60 total applications, but, those 40-60 turns into a couple hundred containers.
