Welcome to my personal devlog series.
A logbook of how I learn Linux by building and breaking things on my own server.
This is hands-on learning, and i love it.
💻 My Hardware
• CPU: Intel Core i5-7200U @ 2.5GHz (Turbo 3.11GHz)
• GPU: NVIDIA MX150, 2GB GDDR5
• RAM: Upgraded to 20GB DDR4
• Storage: 126GB SSD Sandisk
• Wi-Fi: 802.11ac
• Ports: Thunderbolt + standard I/O
• Current OC: Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie) / Space: fn 1,5Gb.
•Server name: "マッコウクジラ — makkō kujira - sperm whale"
📂 What is this logbook?
This is a collection of logs documenting:
• install and reinstall systems manually
• fight with wpa_supplicant and systemd masking
• configure static IPs and chase down DHCP demons
• run a fully terminal-based setup with no GUI
• plan to build a proper homelab and NAS — and more later
