I wish you luck! Don’t sniff the glue… Unless you want to!

If you’re handy in any way, PVC isn’t too hard to work with. I used to do my own sprinkler system. Since this is above ground and larger, it’s even easier. This is assuming you have some common tools and can watch YouTube.
And if that doesn’t work, tell your wife to get the strap-on.
You know, I was thinking the Thinkpad was going to go to crap after Lenovo bought it, but overall I didn’t have anything negative to say. I wore mine out, keeping it way beyond it’s end of life and it kept chugging. It was difficult to part, in fact, but so goes change.
I use one of those coax/Ethernet converters in my house. It’s a 2-story place and running Ethernet was going to be too daunting for a room.
Overall it works very well (I had bad experiences with using network over electrical power). The only thing that will be a downer is the gigabit coax converters seem to be expensive. Since I just had 1 client in an isolated network, 100mbps was fine for me but would hamper your NAS throughout. You’d also need to buy 2 sets of converters for your use case, so that’s potentially not cheap if you’re wanting gigabit from end to end.
Some of the newer wireless standards are very quick, but you’d also need to ensure all NICs are compatible and a newer AP wouldn’t be free.
Perhaps talk to the landlord about splitting the cost of getting Ethernet professionally run in all rooms. It may be the most cost effective solution, but the drawback is you walk away with nothing. The landlord would be able to advertise Ethernet ready infra, so there is some benefit for them to do it.
He’s just not whole without the blue kielbasa.
…like Kool aid with no sugar, ham with no burger!
Wish I could. That looked like a really fun driving experience.
It’s a testament to simplicity. Any of our current hardware infra would have just been fuuuuuucked out there.
Martin Shkreli can get fucked eternally.
The lesson for those folks selling out to Microsoft? This can never be undone.
I looked everywhere in the box, but didn’t find that color.
Ohhhh, riiiiiiight
I need two of ALL of you to join ARCAMANIA!

Yep, I’m speaking in generalities. Overall, my point is that a homelab doesn’t need something expensive because it may not be heavily used, so most of those features are not necessary. If the guy had mentioned running a business or customers, that’d be a different story.
You even had to qualify your own statement that one has to modify hard drive power consumption to achieve acceptable noise levels.
I had a SIEM running on a mini-pc like a champ. It cost me fifteen bucks and taught me a lot. Build to requirement, not title.
Bear in mind, a system that is built to be a dedicated server will be meant to crunch data. That means 2 things:
loud fans
heavy electricity use
If you just want a lab, I suggest getting a desktop PC and loading a server OS on it. Practical hardware experience isn’t too valuable because platforms change and they usually make them super simple to maintenance with lots of online support. Getting a desktop will also save you some bread on initial investment.
It’s like a rerun of that old show Cops, except shittier.
Herbal essence in yo mouff!
You know it’s getting bad when the PMs don’t bother. They know you’re perma-fucked. The this-is-fine meme has so much meaning when you live it.
Just roll with it. Let’s see if anyone is even reading those.
All the science is connected… Except climate science. That’s voodoo witch talk and we should keep pumping millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. WCGW?
