Hi guys, I am thinking of selling my old server which until now I have been using as a mini home lab. But now that I have a dedi on hetzner, I don't really see the point of keeping it around. What do you guys use your home lab for and why do you prefer it over cloud hosting?

Specifically storage. It's vastly cheaper to keep a couple TB locally, even when you have redundancy.
