Should I get a CompTIA or other certificate to gain more selfhosting knowledge? (alien.top)

I have been on this sub and playing around with selfhosting for almost two years now but I feel like I've barely scratched the surface.

I often feel inadequate when I see people on this sub discussing what I consider to be advanced networking terms and technologies, especially when discussing remote access.

Will getting a certification like Network+ help me feel more comfortable managing my homelab?

If not, can someone recommend any resources I should look into to get good at being my own sysadmin?

It really depends on you, there are more resources than ever to help from text, YouTube videos and of course paid courses. Start small, see what you like, Tech is a marathon for most. Can a NET+ help fill in gaps, sure but so can trial and error on your own hone lab. If you are just going for knowledge and not to further a career just stick to the free stuff.
