About
Independent, hands-on technology writing since 2008: who runs TECHNO / CHAT - TECH BLOG, how the articles are made, and the standards they follow.
Why this site exists
TECHNO / CHAT - TECH BLOG has published practical technology writing since 2008. It began as notes on Windows fixes that were hard to find anywhere else and grew into hands-on guides and news for IT professionals, DevOps engineers and anyone who runs their own systems.
The aim is simple: when you land here from a search, you should leave with something that works. That means tested commands, the reason behind each step, and a clear note when something is risky or version-specific.
What we cover
- PowerShell and Windows: scripts, administration and fixes.
- Cloud: Azure, AWS and Cloudflare in real deployments.
- Cybersecurity: vulnerabilities, patches and hardening, explained for the people who have to apply them.
- AI and automation: tools that save real time, and where they fall short.
- DevOps and self-hosting: containers, pipelines, home labs and open-source tools.
How we work
Guides come from first-hand use: the steps were run, the errors were met, the fix was confirmed. News articles are based on the original announcements, advisories and reports, credited and linked, and explain what a change means for the people who run the systems. Every article is checked and approved by the editor before it goes live; we would rather publish less than publish something we have not checked.
Commands and scripts are tested before publishing, on the versions named in the article. Run them on a test system first; systems differ, and you are responsible for changes you make to yours.
Editorial standards
The rules every article follows, whoever or whatever helped draft it.
Accuracy and sources
We work from primary sources: vendor advisories, CVE records, official documentation, release notes and our own testing. Facts taken from other outlets are credited and linked. Version numbers and dates are stated, so you can tell when advice may have aged.
Independence
What we cover and what we conclude is decided by the editor alone. Advertisers have no say in the content. Ads are placed automatically by Google; no advertiser pays for coverage, placement or a favourable mention.
AI-assisted writing, human-approved
We use AI tools to help research, outline and draft, and to create some illustrations. A person reviews every draft, checks it against the sources, edits it and decides whether it is published. The editor is responsible for every article. AI-generated images are illustrations, never evidence or photos of real events.
Corrections and updates
Found a mistake? Tell us through the Contact page. Confirmed errors are corrected promptly, normally within 48 hours, and an article's "updated" date changes when its substance does.
Sponsored content and affiliate links
We do not publish sponsored posts, paid reviews or affiliate links. If that ever changes, the article concerned will say so clearly at the top.
Conflicts of interest
The editor works in IT at a large company. Articles are personal work, written in personal time, and never speak for any employer. When a subject touches a product or company the editor works with, the article says so.
Ownership and funding
