Debian or Ubuntu?

Same roots. Different priorities.

Debian = stability.

Ubuntu = ease and speed.

Choose based on your use case, not hype.

Read more:

Debian and Ubuntu are closely related, but they don't feel the same once you start running real workloads. Here's what actually changes, and when those differences matter.

What is RAID?

It spreads data across multiple drives to improve performance or prevent data loss.

One disk fails doesn’t mean everything is gone.

Storage isn’t just space. It’s strategy.

Read more:

RAID can improve uptime, performance, and fault tolerance, but it doesn't magically make data safe from every kind of loss. Here's what RAID actually does, how each RAID level works, and where ZFS, software RAID, and hardware RAID fit in.

What is a GRE tunnel?

It wraps packets and sends them across networks like a virtual link.

Useful for connecting sites or routing traffic privately.

Under the hood, it’s simple but powerful.

Read more:

GRE tunnels encapsulate one packet inside another so traffic can move between remote systems or networks over an IP path. In this article, we'll explain more about them.

Need better IP or domain lookup than WHOIS?

RDAP gives structured, more reliable data with modern access methods.

Cleaner, more useful, easier to integrate.

Time to upgrade your tools.

Read more:

RDAP has taken over as the modern way to look up registration data for domains, IP ranges, and autonomous system numbers. xTom’s open source Rust client wraps that protocol in a fast CLI with readable output, smart query detection, and flexible JSON support. Learn more about it in this article.

What is the Linux kernel?

It’s the core that connects hardware and software.

Processes, memory, devices — all go through it.

No kernel, no OS.

Everything starts here.

Read more:

The Linux kernel is the core component that manages hardware resources and system operations in Linux distributions. In this article, we'll explain more about it.

What is a Looking Glass?

It lets you see routing and network paths from another server’s view.

Debug latency. Verify routes. Troubleshoot globally.

Essential for network operators.

Read more:

A looking glass is a web-based diagnostic tool that lets anyone query your network's routing tables and run traceroutes from your perspective. Learn what it does, why networks use them, and how to set one up yourself.

How does the internet actually work?

It’s not magic.

It’s packets, routing, protocols, and global infrastructure working together.

Behind every click is a complex system.

Understand it. Build better.

Read more:

The internet connects billions of devices across the globe, but most people have no idea what's actually happening behind the scenes. This guide breaks down how data travels from one point to another, in plain English.

Paying monthly for tools you could run yourself?

Self-host OpenClaw and keep control of your data and costs.

Your server. Your rules.

Stop renting. Start owning.

Read more:

OpenClaw is an open-source, self-hosted AI agent that lets you chat with your own personal assistant through Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, and more. This guide walks you through running it on your own machine or Linux server so your data stays yours.

What is an ASN?

It’s the ID that lets your network speak BGP on the global internet.

No ASN, no independent routing.

If you’re building serious infrastructure, this matters.

Ownership starts at the network layer.

Read more:

An ASN (Autonomous System Number) is a unique identifier assigned to networks that control their own routing policies. Learning what an ASN is and how to obtain one is essential for organizations managing their own network infrastructure.

06/03/2026

What is BGP?

It’s the protocol that decides how traffic moves across the global internet.

No BGP, no large-scale routing.

If you run networks or data centers, this is core knowledge.

Routing shapes the internet.

Read more:

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is the routing protocol that makes the internet work by enabling networks to exchange routing information and find the best paths for data. Understanding BGP helps you grasp how global internet connectivity actually functions.

Website slow or unreachable?

Start with ping.

Trace with traceroute.

Go deeper with mtr.

Don’t guess network issues. Diagnose them.

Read more:

When your connection slows or fails, ping, traceroute, and MTR help you pinpoint exactly where the problem lies. Learn how these three essential network diagnostic tools work and when to use each one.
