Did I just save you three hours of debugging and a dozen Stack Overflow tabs?
Since I started Sysadmins of the North (saotn.org), my mission has been clear: taking complex technical challenges – from IIS hardening and PHP on Windows to intricate WSL 2 DevOps workflows – and turning them into no-nonsense, working guides.
In a world increasingly filled with AI-generated “thin content,” I’m committed to providing hand-tested, human-written expertise from the front lines of systems administration.
Why support this project?
Keeping saotn.org independent, fast takes time, infrastructure, and a significant amount of caffeine. Your support helps me:
- Fund the “Deep Dives”: Dedicate hours to testing niche server configurations so you don’t have to.
- Maintain Independence: No paywalls, no tracking, and no intrusive ads. Just pure technical documentation.
- Hardware & Hosting: Cover the costs of the lab environment and the servers that keep these guides online 24/7.
How to contribute
Whether it’s the price of a coffee or a monthly sponsorship, every bit of support helps keep the lights on and the terminal open.
Other ways to help
If you can’t contribute financially, you can still help the site grow:
- Share the knowledge: Link to an article that helped you on your blog, LinkedIn, or Mastodon.
- Join the conversation: Leave a comment with your findings; I value your feedback and peer reviews.
- Spread the word: Follow me on social media for the latest scripts and sysadmin tips.
Thank you for being part of the community and for your continued support. Keep those servers running!
