Depends on the hobby because I have too many...

Photography - not much unless I buy used, which is what I usually do. So some funky old lenses and adapters to get on the body, which usually nets some fun results.

Data hoarding - a couple of hard drives. Which I should really do, I'm coming close to 5% free (which sounds like less than it is when you've got about 115tb, which is why I'm not rushing out).

Computer Vision / AI - more processing power! But I make work buy me that stuff so its fine.

General compute - about 5 more tiny/mini/micros at the usual price (plus the usual upgrades) to either ads to the cluster or make a new one! Or one or two of the newer little beasts that I will probably be waiting another year or two to pick up.

Bicycling - a good bike for getting around! My bike is about 15 years old now, it was new old stock because no one liked the color apparently - which made it about 1/2 the price of what it should have been. I've been replacing gear on it over the years, but I'm tempted to buy something new, honestly less for going fast and maybe more upright, like a hybrid. Which I can get an OK model at that price.

No matter how many drives I add to my NAS, there is always another "you" out there showing me it could be worse.

Cheers!

It continually gets worse....

Thats just my main NAS + a media NAS. I also have a backup NAS that replicates the main (well, a lot of it, just the things I'm concerned about backups for) which also is a remote backup for family (where they also have a NAS I set up that is their local storage + my compressed backups).

Which is why my dumb ass is thinking of replacing the two 14ru racks I have with a 44ru (and space for a second) where I hope to be moving within the next year or so.

Yes, there is a lot wrong with me :)
