Guides, builds, and tools
for the curious tinkerer.
Hardware mods, self-hosted infra, AI experiments, and the occasional rabbit hole.
Builds
Interactive tools for hardware mods. Step-by-step guides for iPod flash mods, ThinkPad upgrades, and other projects I have documented along the way.
Field Notes
Guides, deep dives, things I wish I knew.
VPS
Comparisons and a live deal war room.
Bin
Tools I built and actually use.
Installing RockBox on an iPod Classic: What to Expect
Dual-booting RockBox alongside the stock Apple firmware: the good parts, the rough edges, and the 128GB limit that wont go away.
Building a Sub-$5/Month Self-Hosted Server
What I learned setting up nginx, Docker, and WireGuard on the cheapest VPS I could find that still works.
sudo.guide is a workshop, not a publication. I build things, break them, write down what I learned, and share the tools I end up using.
I write about hardware mod guides (iPods, ThinkPads), self-hosted infrastructure experiments, AI projects that may or may not work, and the occasional rabbit hole I could not resist.
Everything here is a single-person operation. No VC funding, no growth targets, no editorial calendar. Just curiosity-driven tinkering.
