About Death By Tech

I’m Jon Watson and I’m a Linux systems engineer by trade and by passion. Mostly passion and with that passion comes a lot of writing. I write about technical stuff from various viewpoints. Sometimes I write How To’s, sometimes I write about some crazy tool or service that I have found useful, and sometimes I pontificate about how technology is used, or misused, in the world. That’s the main stuff you’re going to get here.

I also write the occasional personal post and even a short story now and again.


Why subscribe?

Honestly, the main reason to subscribe to my work is to encourage me to continue and to show a little appreciation. I have been writing for a long time, and this is the first time I have set up a space where my readers can contribute to me directly. It’s liberating to know that every penny that flows my way is a deliberate action on the part of one of my readers instead of via some algorithm nobody understands. Even free subscribers light up my face.

Subscribing keeps you up-to-date

You don’t have to subscribe to read some of my stuff. I publish at least twice a week. At least one of those posts is open to the public which anyone can read, but if you’re not subscribed you will have to visit my archive page to see it so it makes sense to subscribe, for free, so you get those posts right in your inbox hot off the presses.

If you decide to take the plunge and support my writing as a paying subscriber, you will get additional, subscriber-only posts, and instant access to my entire archive.

To get things off the ground here, I will give you 50% off the entire first-year subscription. Just click the button below to get that deal.

Subscribers can tell me what they think

Another added bonus of becoming a subscriber is that subscribers can comment on my articles and “Like” posts that especially resonate with them.

Lastly…I ocassionally put affiliate links in my posts to try to generate a little residual income. If you want to view something I have linked to, but don’t like that, let me know and I will give you a link that is not an affiliate link.

Mostly tech. Lots of Linux. Some fiction. A few dogs. These are the ramblings of a career sysadmin working in infosec.
