About this site
Welcome. This blog serves as my public knowledge base and digital scratchpad.
If you work in IT, you know the drill: you spend three hours troubleshooting a hyper-specific issue, write a brilliant script to fix it, and then bury it deep in your local files where it will never be seen again. This site is my effort to fix that.
Here, I document the fixes, scripts, and configurations that I actually use in my daily workflow.
What You'll Find Here
I operate across Microsoft, Linux, and containerized ecosystems, so the content here bridges those gaps. Expect to see:
- Scripting: Deep dives into PowerShell, mostly for Exchange Server / Exchange Online.
- Linux Server Administration: Real-world Arch Linux server management, networking, and direct-installation workflows.
- Containerization: Tips and tricks for managing Docker and Docker Compose stacks, particularly on Synology NAS environments.
- Hardware & Encoding: Niche hardware guides and optimizations for high-throughput AV1 video encoding pipelines.
You can find more of my code and repositories over on my GitHub profile.
If a script on here saves your weekend, or if you spot a better way to optimize a PowerShell loop, feel free to drop a line or submit a PR.
