I put 100Gb networking in my garage because apparently 10Gb wasn't ridiculous enough.
The switch arrived in a box that needed its own structural assessment. The patch panel now has more fiber than my internet provider's neighborhood cabinet. Cooling is still an open question.
Someone will think your unusual project is worth following.
The server rack in your garage, the robot you built from spare parts, the game you have been developing for three years, or the script that grew to 8,000 lines can all find an audience here.
There is a community for that work.
