About

I’m Scott, and I’ve been an aspiring computer geek for the past 35 years — now I run Mackey Tech to share what I’ve learned (the good, the bad, and everything in between)! This channel is for tinkerers, homelab builders, and anyone who loves digging into the nuts and bolts of tech. I share a mix of hands-on tutorials, honest reviews, and practical guides on: • Linux distros, homelabs & self-hosted services • Network-attached storage (NAS) • Virtualization • Single-board computers (SBCs) — not just Raspberry Pi • Networking optimization If you like experimenting and learning as you go; you’ll feel right at home here! 🔔 Make sure to subscribe for new content, and check out Patreon.com/MackeyTech for extras or to support the channel. Disclaimer: Everything here is shared for educational and exploratory purposes. Every setup is a little different, so please back up your data and test carefully before making changes. Take your time, experiment, and have fun building!
