Hello again. Thank you for reading.
I have been away from my newsletter, but it somehow continues to grow anyway. I appreciate that more than you know. Thank you.
My gaming PC side-business contiues to succeed along side my “real” career in cloud Linux administration. With limited time, this also means my Patreon has been deleted and I will no longer be offering my help in that way.
However, the future also brings new projects. I am developing a security service for home networks and I will be offering this service to readers of my newsletter for totally free. Drop me a line if you are interested in joining that testing over the summer.
Once again, thanks for being here.
