I'm not sure if it's just because of a change in my own mental filter or due to an actual increase in this type of content, but it feels like I've started noticing more posts and general information about homelabs showing up in my various feeds recently. If that's the case (for either an actual increase or a change in my mental filter), I wonder if it's related to the ongoing pandemic.
Maybe since people are suddenly spending more time at home, there are certain resources that they'd normally have access to at their work that they don't have access to anymore and need/want to create themselves, or are suddenly more reliant on their own infrastructure, or may just spending more time at home leads to interacting with their home set-up more often which leads to more tinkering with it. I know I've put much more effort into working on my home dev set-up this year than I did last year.
