The Powered by E-Waste sticker
The Powered by E-Waste sticker from merch drop 7: a round badge for the mini PC someone was throwing out and the old laptop that now runs the house. Sizes and prices.
A lot of homelabs start with hardware somebody else was done with: an office mini PC on its way to recycling, a laptop with a cracked hinge, a desktop that got replaced. The Powered by E-Waste Sticker is a badge for that machine.
The design
A round badge: POWERED BY E-WASTE, with the line reclaimed, repurposed, running. It is sized for the lid or the front panel of exactly the machine it describes.

- 3 x 3, 4 x 4 and 5.5 x 5.5 in
- $4.50 to $5.50 depending on size, before shipping (Printful calculates shipping at checkout)

Making the old box a reliable one
Old hardware is fine for a homelab. What makes it reliable is the setup around it: backup jobs that cover every guest, storage that does not fill the root disk, and a cluster that does not freeze when one node goes away. Homelab the Right Way covers Proxmox, OPNsense and Home Assistant as the trap, the fix and a checklist for each, and the free sample shows the format.
Get it
The sticker is in the merch store with the rest of drop 7 and every earlier design on the merch page.
