Welcome on @vermaden blog.
I share knowledge and experience that I gathered by working 10+ years as sysadmin at IT industry. Countless times various articles or blog posts helped me, so its time to give back.
I write about server deployments mostly on UNIX systems like FreeBSD but also on Linux systems. I also write about laptop/desktop/workstation/mobile world as I use FreeBSD on such systems.
Keep in mind that I try to update articles posted here. I follow all supported FreeBSD versions β you can check which FreeBSD versions are currently supported on this page β FreeBSD Release Information: Currently Supported β from official FreeBSD website. If something gets out of date or works differently on newer versions β I add a needed UPDATE to a post to make it up to date.
If something is out of date or does not work correctly – please let me know.
