Haack's Networking
Haack's Networking is a networking and security firm that leverages Free Software principles to serve educators and small businesses. When new tutorials or workflows are developed, Haack's Networking will typically introduce those to the community on its Technology Blog. Since blog entries were written at a certain point in time, they ultimately age and become out of date, however, the corresponding entries on this Wiki will be maintained and updated. For those who share the passion for Free Software, Haack's Networking hosts various social media communities (see below). Additionally, Haack's Networking sponsors a student Hacking Club - and associated self-hosted Gitlab CE repository - where configuration files, scripts, and/or code for GNU/Linux projects can be found. A complete list of offerings can be found here:

Miscellaneous
These tutorials have no proper home. They could extensions of tutorials above, random topics, and/or other notes from random jobs/tasks. Definitely a strong Debian theme present.
Storage
These tutorials all have to do with storage setup such as but not limited to virtualization servers, RAID and/or JBOD, the health and/or integrity of physical devices, and the management of all backup data and sites.

These are projects that Haack's Networking enjoys and in some cases, even contributed to. They were all originally intended either as their own projects and/or forks, all to different and mixed success. Reverse proxies stay very much active, rest is quiet.

Haack's Networking uses Debian when/if given the choice, but that luxury is not always available. Some ecosystems require diving into other operating systems.
