IT moves fast, and what I know I learned by reading, then trying it at home or by trying and failing and then reading about it.. This is where the books go: what’s on my reading list, what I thought of it once I’d read it, and what it actually changed.
What you’ll find here:
- Reading lists: the books I’m about to read and why they made the list.
- IT classics, read for a one-person homelab: books written for big operations teams, read for what they mean when the whole team is me.
- Reviews: sometimes of a book that has nothing to do with computers.
From April 2027 there’s a series, Books for a one-person homelab, that starts with The Phoenix Project and goes on to the Google SRE book, networking books and Proxmox books versus the official documentation.
