As I rely more on my home lab server, I’m starting to worry more about it getting stolen. If someone breaks into my home, I think the server will be a pretty attractive target.

Do y’all just stick it in a closet? That seems not great for cooling…

One of my neighbors recently got broken into.

    No need to worry about thieves. They mostly don’t even steal laptops of TVs. It’s just not worth the work and the risk.

    Yes need to worry about floods or your house burning down. That’s the real way to lose a home server.

      Thankfully, I don’t think there’s ever been a flood where I live. House burning down is way more likely. But, break-ins do happen in my town. Actually, what prompted me to think about this was that my neighbor recently had their house broken into.

        There never used to be tornadoes in my area. Now there are. With climate change, anything’s possible!
