About infrastruggles.dev

infrastruggles.dev is a blog about the messy, real-world side of infrastructure — the part nobody puts in the glossy vendor slides. If you've ever spent hours figuring out why a network won't route, cursed at DNS for the millionth time, or watched a production outage eat your evening, you're among friends.

At its core it's about sharing knowledge — and, with a bit of luck, growing into a small knowledge base worth coming back to. As more content gets added I'll work on making the place prettier; for now, this is what you get.

And if you landed here after hours of hunting for a fix to something, thanks for dropping by — I hope it helped with whatever you were searching for.

What you'll find here

• Network — Packets, protocols and the dark art of making boxes talk to each other.
• Security — Hardening, threats, and staying paranoid so you can sleep at night.
• Coding — Scripts, automation and the glue that holds infrastructure together.
• AI — Local models, agents and the practical side of machine learning.
• News — What broke, what shipped, and what actually matters this week.
• Other — Everything that doesn't fit a neat box — odds, ends and the in-between.

Who's behind it

An infrastructure administrator with years in the trenches — networking, security and systems administration. I've built networks, defended them, broken them (accidentally), and fixed them (eventually). This blog is how I share what I learned, hoping it saves you a few hours of Googling or an unnecessary coffee-fuelled panic attack.

The rules

• No newsletter pop-ups. There's an RSS feed, and that's it.
• No affiliate-bait listicles. If something's recommended, it's because it works.
• Real commands, real configs, real failure modes — tested, not theoretical.
