About Cory Lamb
Cory Lamb is a higher education leader currently serving as Chief Operating Officer at Indian Hills Community College.
He spends most of his professional life helping systems, teams, and infrastructure behave the way they’re supposed to—reliably, securely, and without unnecessary drama. His philosophy on leadership mirrors his approach to systems design: clear, resilient, and built with people in mind.
Why This Site Exists
Outside of work, Cory is usually tinkering with Linux, breaking and rebuilding homelab setups, or exploring open source tools (sometimes on purpose). This site exists to document what he’s learning in real time—somewhere between notes to himself and hopefully-useful guides for others.
Whether you’re exploring Kubernetes on a budget, hardening your infrastructure, or just curious about building things that work reliably, you’ll find practical guides based on actual experience with production systems and small-scale experimentation.
The Blog
The posts here cover a range of topics across:
- Infrastructure & DevOps - Kubernetes, Docker, Git servers, monitoring
- Security - Hardening Linux, SSH, firewall configuration, best practices
- Homelab Projects - Raspberry Pi, NAS setup, smart home automation
- Automation & Scripting - Bash, deployment, systems administration
- Hardware & Tinkering - Pi Zero projects, addressable LEDs, sensors
Each post is written with the assumption that you appreciate practical examples over theory, and that you’d rather learn from someone’s mistakes than repeat them yourself.
