I want to start doing some sort of security related project. But I don't know where to start.

I feel like just setting up a server for the hell of it is pointless, I want to do something with purpose. What were everyone's projects that they worked on?

I considered blogging but I don't think any of my work Is particularly interesting and I'm trying to learn new skills.

I've done the basics Pi-hole server, Nextcloud server, and ran a small home lab till my electric bill nearly gave me a heart attack.

Has anyone got any experience with Wazuh? i think that'd be a good step but im so lost with it

@RedGalahad The electricity bill is such a problem, especially with the significantly rising costs as of late. Power wise, I can comfortably budget a router, POE switch, a NUC and four 3.5" drives for it to be accepted by the household minister for finance 😅​
@wally3k It honestly wasn't even much of a lab. Single HP Microserver with hyper-v running on it, Old Watchguard firewall i got free, Switch I got off ebay, NAS, and Pi server.
@RedGalahad The microservers can be a real power hog, from what I recall on /r/homelab
