I am in 100% agreement with you. I'm kind of in the same mindset in figuring out my homelab setup. Still learning docker and how volumes work 😢 haha
I'm in academia but I like to tinker with tech. So when my students or co-workers are surprised that I know so much about tech and how to navigate around most computer systems and troubleshoot (Mac/Windows/Linux) they are perplexed. They ask why I didn't major in tech. I tell them that I majored in what I loved (history) and play with tech as a hobby to relax.
It's why I selfhost my own Lemmy server. Gives me something to do with my hobby, keeps me focused on what's new in tech, makes me learn to keep up with docker, Linux, editing CRON tabs etc.
Hey, I'm going through the same thing! I just got all my hardware in for my new server and I'm learning docker stuff right now. When do some difficult troubleshooting I'll think of the random lemming I passed in the night that is doing something similar.
