Or from your kids, cousins, etc… trying to keep it simple. What do you request as cheap homelab related items?
I just have those nice Monoprice Slimrun cables so far.
Cable organization things for racks?
Tools (usually pretty expensive)?
Gift cards?
Or just avoid it altogether?
I went on a first interview after studding mechanical engineering for 9 years. I applied for IT job and I got it lol. We talked about my homelab setup and my hobbies and I guess they liked me even though I didn’t have previous IT experience. I’m now extremely happy I get paid for a job I love.
