Welcome to Mathias' Knowledge Base

What is this place?

This is the "public" version of my personal knowledge base. Here you'll find a mix of quick notes, practical tips, commands, and more in-depth explanations on various technical topics. Some pages are just for my own memory, while others are written to help anyone who stumbles across them. Consider it my digital brain dump—sometimes rough, sometimes detailed, but always aiming to be useful.

NOTE: This site is currently under construction! I'm still in the process of transitioning from DokuWiki and combining notes scattered across various wikis and a chaotic collection of .txt files. Navigation and content will improve over time.

Why share my notes?

I originally maintained these notes just for myself (and still keep some "private" notes offline). But sharing knowledge helps others and often leads to improvements through feedback. Over time, I've started adding more context and explanations to some pages, so that others can benefit too. If a one-line explanation isn't enough for you, you might want to research further before using commands or techniques described here—but you may also find some pages with more background and practical advice.

Where are the notes?

Content is organized in the menus in a way that makes sense to me—hopefully it makes sense to you too! Most notes are in English, though you might occasionally find something in Danish. Some sections are just quick reminders for myself, while others are written with a wider audience in mind.

What is this built on?

This knowledge base is built with MkDocs using the excellent Material for MkDocs theme (which I've customized with some CSS tweaks to better match my preferred style). And deployed as a static "serverless" page, making sure it's available even when my normal webservers are not.
