I diagrammed out my home lab/home server setup, mostly to keep a complete overview of how everything connects. I didn’t want to get bogged down in aesthetics around colour scheme, or layout – as you can no doubt tell. After a while diagramming it started to feel like a meme where I was trying to convey some crazy conspiracy theory on a wall of pinned paperwork and connecting threads. I think I am done documenting everything. But now I am wondering how obsessive I should be about detailing every little thing and VLANs and IP assignments. I don’t really care if it looks like a dog’s dinner, I really just care about “okay, where does this wire go to?” Is that the right approach?

    The Lorem ipsum is the best part.

    Also most people don’t add monitors to their network diagrams. That’s just a flex.

      The whole diagram seems to be a flex. There’s a $5000.00 sewing machine chucked in there lol.

        “It’s connected to the network. It’s part of the lab.”

        “How do you stop your wife from complaining about your homelab? I dunno, I just bought her a sewing machine and she went very quiet.”
