IT Lad

Real IT. Real Gear. No Fluff.

Written by an IT pro who runs the gear he writes about. Pick a topic:

Homelab — Proxmox, Docker, TrueNAS, self-hosting
Networking — switches, routers, VLANs, firewalls
Cybersecurity — VPNs, Pi-hole, hardening, pen-test tools
Dev tools — terminal tricks, VSCode, scripting
AI — local models, automation, what actually works
Gear — honest reviews with Amazon links to stuff I own

New post every day. If you know what a VLAN is and have spare NICs in a drawer, you belong here.
