For sysadmins, MSP engineers and homelabbers.
Free learning paths on Mylemans Labs where you only move on once you can actually do the thing: networking, Proxmox, Active Directory, PowerShell and more. Behind them are the guides and war stories from my 15+ years as a systems engineer, documented in public.

YouTube
I publish deep-dive videos on Proxmox, Windows Server, networking, security, and whatever else I'm building or breaking. New uploads when I have something real to show, not on a fixed schedule.
