Short, practical walkthroughs with open source at the core — self-hosting, Linux and ops. Linux is the home turf, but not the only one: the same ideas run on other operating systems, and even commercial tools are fair game when the free tier or the price is right (cloud providers included).
The same craft whether it runs in a datacenter or on a quiet box at home.
