I don't know if you've mentioned this somewhere, but what's the purpose of the GPS on a home server?
Might be for time synchronization in order to not have to rely on a public NTP server.
What is the advantage of self hosting an NTP server?
After all, it just tells time
It's for making your computers clocks be very, very close to each other. Not milliseconds close, but nano seconds. That is more important than one might think, especially for networks.
I'm going to have something similar at home at some point, just need to make a few more cable runs so one GPS can see the sky (= more accurate)
