In episode 48 of The Homelab Show, Jay and Tom discuss some homelab tips and picks that are sure to give you some inspiration for your own homelab. Many topics are discussed, such as ways to organize your devices, using external mounts for app data, and more!
Running a distribution of Linux on your laptop or desktop is a lot of fun, but that’s not all Linux can do. Using the “live mode” of a distribution can assist you with recovering data from a PC that won’t boot. In this video, Jay shows the process of booting a distribution in live mode to assist in the process of recovering files. As long as your hard disk hasn’t totally failed, this process will enable you to copy its data to an external USB drive.
Cloud Computing is all the rage these days – but what happens when a company moves to the cloud to quickly? While cloud computing can be a very rewarding technology, it can also get out of hand quite quickly. In this video, Joao and Jay discuss the concept of Cloud Governance, something that any organization that utilizes the cloud can (and should) take advantage of.
Fans of The Homelab Show have sent in questions, and Tom and Jay provide some answers and feedback.

Network segmentation in particular can give you a foundation on which to build better security rules, but how do you implement it? What’s the actual benefit of segmentation? In this episode, Jay and Tom discuss some foundational concepts around network segmentation specific to homelab.
It’s frustrating when critical infrastructure encounters an issue that results in a disruption of service.
