Crazy Ivan?
Plex are trying to start a beef
This thing looks great! I’ll have to dig into it more to make sure it satisfies my use case but this is a contender
I did come across these in my search, but don’t know much about them. I’ll do a little more research, but yeah something like this may do the trick

I’m ambivalent as to who uses the term and how, but a deviation from the general consensus of its definition might cause confusion for newcomers to the field who can’t make the distinction. That said, I enjoyed OPs post and appreciate the time they put into it.
Homelab on the other hand is not synonymous with self-hosted infrastructure and services, as its intended use is not for production workloads.
I wrestled with whether or not I should be that guy, but self-hosting by definition generally means everything down to the bare metal, i.e. not a VPS.

But then I remember that MrBallen story where the guy was pushed into an NYC storm drain and was steamed alive for several minutes in agony. From what I remember, steam isn’t like fire where your nerves are essentially cauterized do you can’t feel anything. You have to suffer through every minute of it.
Let’s just agree to all show each other the courtesy of a knife to the brain.
