$ cat /etc/online-ingenuity/about.txt

We sell teaching docs built from scratch — sanitized patterns, never real lab configs or credentials. You rebuild in your own environment.

Built by a sysadmin who's fought the battles, configured the mail server, and wired up the VPN kill switch so you don't have to.
