r4ven.me (Вороний блог, Raven Blog) is a personal tech blog run by Russian developer Ivan Chernyy. Its core focus is sharing hands-on experience related to Linux systems, open-source software, and self-hosted IT infrastructure. Most content consists of step-by-step tutorials and operation notes, covering tool deployment, network configuration, storage solutions and many other topics, catering to both beginner enthusiasts and advanced DevOps engineers.
The blog has an official Telegram channel for content updates, plus an open community where users can ask questions and interact. The author also answers questions directly in the community, and all code referenced in the tutorials is hosted publicly in the author's GitHub repository for easy access.
As a personal blog, the content quality here is quite solid. The author tests every procedure personally, and tutorials include full command line code and verification steps, so readers can follow along and replicate the work directly — it's extremely friendly for hands-on learning. The site has a clean, clear structure, supports shortcut-activated search, and has no pop-up ads or over-the-top marketing, for a very uncluttered reading experience.
The drawbacks are also very clear: all content is in Russian, with no Chinese or English translation options, which creates a high barrier for non-Russian speakers. As a non-profit personal project, updates are irregular, there is no commercial official technical support, and content only focuses on the Linux运维 field, so the breadth of coverage is limited.
Currently, the site is accessible directly from the Chinese internet, no proxy required. It's a great source of practical reference for Russian-speaking Linux beginners, self-hosting enthusiasts, and DevOps engineers. Chinese users can also reference the content with the help of translation tools, making it a solid quality open-source technical reference.
