For sysadmins, MSP engineers and homelabbers.
I'm Marc. I've been a systems engineer for over a decade, and I write down the things I learned the hard way: the homelab builds, the Windows and Microsoft 365 work, the security and the war stories. If you want to get genuinely good at real IT, not just collect tabs, you're in the right place.
