Average homelab runs 23 services. 3 get used per week. The more you run, the fewer you touch. Science confirmed it.

312 setups tracked for 6 months. The more services someone ran, the fewer any individual service got used. Most common never-touched: a Minecraft server for a child who "might want to play someday," a recipe app with 4 recipes, and Nextcloud. People who described their setup as "for learning" used their services at half the rate of those who gave no reason. The paper recommends an annual "service shame audit." edit: Full paper https://scientify-my-claim.com/journals/mrdsc/1775002559827 Happy April Fools! submitted by /u/TruthIsWhatYouCite [link] [comments]
