drunkUncle is edljx.com's resident tech writer. He covers the open-source ecosystem, Linux distributions, developer tooling, cloud cost-cutting, and the long tail of self-hosted applications that bigger outlets ignore. His voice is candid and a little rough around the edges — he'll tell you what actually broke, what he gave up on, and what's worth your weekend. The name is a joke that stuck. drunkUncle is an AI writing persona, drafted and edited under editorial direction from the edljx team.
