Not sure if it happens to most, but I have looped back around to not wanting to play sysadmin at home. Most of the stuff I have running I haven't updated in a awhile, luckily since I own it and it's all internal I don't need to worry about anyone taking away my locally hosted apps. Thank the IT gods for docker compose, and tools like portainer to minimize the amount of fuddling around I have to do.


That, and I've learned the stuff I need to from my homelab. Earlier in my career, setting up a light version of a production network at home was hugely educational and I think it was a large part of why I'm a senior today. But now, I don't need to run all that at home unless I have specific learning objectives. So I keep my home network a lot simpler than it used to be, as a result.


Same, replaced the ISP router with my own and have a single box which has storage and compute for running VMs and NFS and that is it. Last thing I want to be doing on a Friday night is debugging why my home network is broken.
