This is a pretty generic homelab, there's communities built around the hobby on reddit or lemmy.

Right, it took me reading four or five entries before I started to notice that it was really not normal.

And every single post is about an expensive new hardware purchase. Not just computers. Two motorcycles. A generator. Another generator.
