We could compare this to many things in IT where the marketing doesnt necessarily lie, but it is purposely misleading and they make their money from misleading customers.
Or from giving the customers the tools to mislead themselves. That's very much where ProxMox and FreeNAS fall. Rarely do they lie, but they sure are misleading and make it really easy for customers to convince themselves of things.

I think I would spend the money on having my servers in a colo and/or use Vultr.

Right, seems like way better ways to use that same money to learn more. Nothing wrong with servers at home and if he is a bench buy, which sure seems likely, then his "lab" is the physical pieces, not the logical ones. So it would make sense.
If we view this as an IT lab, it's a joke. If we view this as a bench lab, it's great. So perspective matters a lot.

I just wonder at the money he spent. I don't have the same interests as he does since I care little for all that automation stuff. I do want to know how much he spent though lol

Yeah, lots of good stuff, but lots of it.

This is a lot like more of video systems and home devices. I have had home customers with way more runs than that.

The thing with this network is that it's focused on the gadgets, not the tech. From a tech side, it's pretty weak and the author doesn't really even know the stuff that he has...
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed, there were a few times were I was like "..that's not what that means/does/is"

Definitely someone not very familiar with it. Appears not to have learned to much on that side of things even after having installed and presumably used it.

Sounds like I should have read the entire thing instead of just glancing at a few highlights.
