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?

You may want to have a dead man's switch so that the server shuts down without your intervention, or there's the possibility that a forensic team could retrieve the encryption key in RAM through some physical attacks.

Usually the cops raiding homes just take the stuff to some lab. Not saying such an attack is impossible but I don't think that's high up in my risk assessment.
