Metalhearf's Blog is the personal technical blog of Metalhearf, a French systems/cloud engineer. The author describes himself as having more than ten years of experience in Linux infrastructure, networking, security, and cloud architecture, currently working remotely in cloud engineering, with a long-standing interest in open source, self-hosting, privacy protection, and de-telemetry practices. This is not a commercial product, but a personal platform for technical notes and opinion writing.
The blog covers topics such as Linux operations, SRE, cloud infrastructure, Tor, privacy protection, message monitoring, ad tracking, and game saves. Existing posts include discussions of the ChatControl private-message scanning controversy, the Massgrave activation mechanism, sudo lockouts caused by faillock, setting up a Tor Middle Relay, and cleaning up Twitter interest tags. The site itself is built with Hugo and the Blowfish theme, uses Markdown for content, is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, and uses Umami for anonymous analytics.
All articles are publicly available for free. The site does not show any paid subscriptions, memberships, consulting services, or advertising monetization. As such, it is closer to an open personal blog than a commercial media site or course product.
The main strengths are that the author’s technical background is transparent, and many articles are based on systems he has actually run, experimented with, or fixed, giving them a strong hands-on feel. The site also emphasizes privacy friendliness and avoids invasive tracking. The downsides are that the content library is still limited, update frequency depends on the author’s personal schedule, the articles are mainly in English, and some topics are quite engineering-focused and may not be beginner-friendly. As a personal blog, it also cannot provide formal technical support or a structured learning path.
Suitable for Linux administrators, cloud engineers, SREs, self-hosting enthusiasts, privacy advocates, and readers who want to understand European digital privacy issues. Not suitable for those looking for plug-and-play tools, commercial services, Chinese tutorial collections, or paid courses.
The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, so in theory it should be directly accessible from most networks in mainland China. However, Cloudflare static sites may vary in speed depending on region and ISP. If loading is slow, it is usually due to network routing rather than restrictions configured by the site itself.
