I will start first

  • I didn’t notice my diy NAS motherboard had Pci-E Gen 2.0 (old gen) before buying it. It’s not a great limitation (still 500MB/s) for the two spinning disks I have on it, but it’d be if I will decide to switch to SSDs
  • I cheaped out on the PSU. I bought another one without waiting for that crap to burn down so I eventually spent more
  • I often break the software. Sometimes I kill the OS or mess with some BTRFS pools

Sometimes I just feel not adequate for it. Does this kind of things happen to you too?

All the time. Why have a home lab if you aren’t going to fuck things up? :)

Better it happens in the home lab than at work!!

Yes. Anyone who says otherwise is a goddamn liar.

Getting started with openwrt there were a few times i fucked the config so badly the only resolution was to nuke from orbit and start from scratch

This is literally the point of a homelab. I mean not so much the hardware stuff, that sucks, but hell yeah, breaking shit is how you learn! You do not learn JACK following a tutorial to the letter and everything going perfectly.
