Episode notes

The speakers discuss their home lab setup and how they connect it to the cloud, including using tunnels or reverse proxies, Cloudflare's reverse proxy for anonymity, Let's Encrypt for certificates, and self-hosting Kubernetes at home. They also mention tail scale as a solution for building secure tunnels in their colocation project, and briefly touch on home automation and IoT devices.

Techno Tim is back with Adam to discuss the state of homelab in 2024 and the trends happening within homelab tech. They discuss homelab environments providing a safe place for experimentation and learning, network improvement as a gateway to homelab, trends in network connection speeds, to Unifi or not, storage trends, ZFS configurations, TrueNAS, cameras, home automation, connectivity, routers, pfSense, and more.

Umm, should we make these conversations between Adam and Tim more frequent?
