Unix Tutorial News

Nothing particularly new, but I found my blogging stride and enjoyed a very productive month. Lots of Ansible automation progress and a rework of my home office Raspberry Pi setup were my main focus.

Unix Tutorial in Russian is now a completely separate website, I'm going to find more time to add translations to it – it's been growing nicely.
