Air Force vet turned MSP Operations Director. Windows, Linux, macOS, Proxmox, Hyper-V. Tinkerer since before it was a job. Thoughts are my own.

Idk if anyone is interested but my new adventures are in the thread below.

Starting out in IT and not sure where to begin? That’s why I built itbible. Learn the fundamentals step by step, no gatekeeping. Drop a question below and I’ll point you to where to start 📖 #ITcareers #learnIT

@NixiePixel Mandrake, I don't remember how long it lasted but I still have the Compaq and the drive somewhere.

[IT Bible @TheITBible]

Fancy a little treasure hunt? The Superuser lab has a root passphrase hidden somewhere in the terminal, and your job is to find it. No setup on your end, just open it and start poking around. Tell us how long it took you and which commands got you there.

@_sysengineer I've never heard of selling clothes. 😏

Homelab rule #1: if it’s not backed up, it’s not real. Rule #2: test the restore. Rule #3: you will forget rule #2. When did you last test yours? 😅 #homelab #selfhosted #sysadmin

[WizardTux @WizardTux]

I did some hot fixes, worked on a streaming dashboard for my upcoming streams, worked on a chat app and worked on a bracket system for tournaments.

[IT Bible @TheITBible]

Monday, coffee in hand. Time for the weekly round: what did your homelab see this weekend? A new service, a swapped drive, a config you finally sorted out? Tell us in a line or two. #homelab

[WizardTux @WizardTux]

Do I have any friends that play WoW? I haven't played since 2007 and kind of want to start again.

[WizardTux @WizardTux]

Hey, I’m the guy behind wizardtux and itbible. I build homelabs, break them on purpose, then teach what I learned. Gamer by night, sysadmin brain 24/7. Say hi and tell me what you’re running 🧙‍♂️ #homelab #selfhosted

[WizardTux @WizardTux]

I'm looking to start streaming again, I just don't like sitting in the basement all the time...

[WizardTux @WizardTux]

This was driven by some features my kid wanted that he couldn't find in a single bot for free.

[IT Bible @TheITBible]

Vantage is a community-built Discord bot where you do the setup in a web browser, not by typing chat commands. It handles support tickets, custom commands and channel games. Handy if you run a server and want less fiddling. Built by one of us.

Voters just pushed back on AI data centers in dozens of towns. Meanwhile your homelab sips 30W and runs your own services. Self-hosting isn't just a hobby anymore, it's a skill. 🧙‍♂️ #selfhosted #homelab #tech

[WizardTux @WizardTux]

I've had a lot of projects waiting for a better design and I'm glad we're finally making some progress and releasing things that people can actually use.

[WizardTux @WizardTux]

Hot take: your next homelab node is a used thin client, but RAM now costs more than the box. A $95 Wyse 5070 + $100 of DDR4 = a quiet 24/7 Proxmox/Docker node. Worth it? Thread on my build below 👇 #homelab #Proxmox

[WizardTux @WizardTux]

I hope I inspire people at least a little.

[WizardTux @WizardTux]

@_sysengineer Wait... the internet is not serious?

[WizardTux @WizardTux]

Added a new domain to a Cloudflare account today to find out I have different nameservers... Wasn't expecting that and it startled me.

Just a reminder to enter your homelab to show it off and possibly win a $50 Amazon gift card. (I don't have a fancy graphic for this one).

[WizardTux @WizardTux]

I can't be the only one that likes free stickers.

[IT Bible @TheITBible]

I'm thinking about sending out some free sticker packs if anyone is interested, I should have 10 on Monday.
