@Richard Hancox this is one thing I miss about mini PC class gear is the lack of enterprise out of band management. With my Supermicros, I remember one day I had an ESXi host crash and was able to completely reload it with a fresh installation of ESXi being hundreds of miles away. I thought to myself then, this is why you have out of band management 😁
Anyone using Mikrotik Switches in their Home Labs?

@Jose Pelaez it seems this is the general consensus with Mikrotik...they are either loved or not. I have been on the fence with them as well over the years, but the value they bring with features and price lures me back to them.
