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. Solar panels (with accompanying drone footage of the overhead view). And then each post he hopefully points to some Houston-area business where you, too, can get your Hardware on.
It looks like guerrilla marketing aimed at nerds and tinkerers to me.

I quickly scrolled through and he does mention a move which could explain the tree change.
This is a pretty generic homelab, there's communities built around the hobby on reddit or lemmy.
It's 10k+ of equipement at retail but people in IT often get inside deals on old equipment that's being upgraded.
