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:

  1. Time spent writing free, exhaustive tutorials on emerging Linux tech (like Landlock and eBPF).
  2. Maintaining open-source tools and porting libraries across niche systems languages.
  3. 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!
