You’ve just stumbled into something brand new.
ReadTheManual isn’t just another tech blog — it’s a launchpad.
A hub for builders, tinkerers, learners, and future leaders who believe hands-on beats hypothetical every time.
Whether you’re spinning up your first Raspberry Pi, testing Proxmox on an old laptop, or scripting your way to a DevOps job — this space is for you.
🚀 What Are We Doing Here?
We’re building the ultimate resource for:
- Homelab projects that teach real-world skills
- Career-focused learning that’s more than just certs
- Cloud labs, automation, and self-hosted tech
- And a community of people actually doing it — not just talking about it.
If you’re learning tech on your own terms — nights, weekends, dusty server racks in garages — you’re in the right place.
💡 Why Now?
Because tech shouldn’t be locked behind degrees, job titles, or £15k bootcamps.
Because you don’t need permission to start building.
And because we’ve seen too many talented people stalled by gatekeeping and decision paralysis.
So we’re here to change that — with clear guides, real projects, and shared knowledge.
🔧 What’s Coming Next?
This is Day One — you’re early.
Over the next few weeks you’ll start seeing:
- Build walkthroughs (from budget to boss-tier)
- Free resource guides (cloud credits, toolkits, starter scripts)
- Project ideas for learning cybersecurity, cloud, devops, and more
- A growing membership area for deeper collaboration
And yes — we’ll be building a community, not just a content feed.
