Become a sponsor to Andrea Manzini
Hi! I'm Andrea. I dive deep into systems programming so you don't have to.
I love exploring the low-level internals of Linux, networking, and security sandboxing. Through my blog
and open-source repositories, my goal is to demystify complex systems topics with practical,
production-ready code.
🛠️ What I Focus On & Write About:
- eBPF & Kernel Observability: Designing custom tracers and measuring test coverage with eBPF.
- Security & Sandboxing: Practical implementations of Linux capabilities, landlock sandboxing (in
Nim), and custom honeypots. - Network & Systems Engineering: Building NTP clients, raw DBus integration, custom proxy rewrites,
and network fault simulations. - Multi-Language Explorations: Creating robust tools across Nim, Go, Rust, D, Crystal, and Lua.
💡 Why Sponsor Me?
Creating deep, highly technical, and completely ad-free systems-engineering playbooks takes an immense
amount of research, debugging, and testing.
Your sponsorship directly supports:
- Time spent writing free, exhaustive tutorials on emerging Linux tech (like Landlock and eBPF).
- Maintaining open-source tools and porting libraries across niche systems languages.
- Hardware & hosting costs for physical testing setups and benchmark servers.
Whether you sponsor the equivalent of a monthly coffee or a tool license, your support keeps these
guides free, objective, and deeply technical. Thank you!
