Not your average sysadmin sit-down.
Have you ever stumbled across a terminal Easter egg? Or found yourself unexpectedly watching Star Wars in ASCII? Or tried to remove a file literally named -rf?
If so, you’re going to love this.
Welcome to The Nerdy Sixty — a curated collection of 60 offbeat, brain-teasing, keyboard-smashing IT challenges designed for curious minds and caffeinated fingers. Each one is short, self-contained, and solvable with just a basic dev setup (think: terminal, Git, Python, curl). No Kubernetes clusters required. Unless you want to cry.
We’ll take you on a digital treasure hunt across:
- 📟 Terminal Tricks & Treats
- 🐧 Open-Source Odyssey
- 🔐 Code Breakers & Oddities
- 🌍 Internet Age Quests
- 🌐 Networking & Protocol Puzzles
- 💾 Early Computing Adventures
Each challenge comes with hints (because we’re not monsters), a solution (eventually), and just enough snark to keep things interesting.
🗓️ How It Works
Starting next week, we’ll post a new challenge every week.
Follow along, share your findings, or just bookmark the series and come back when you’re procrastinating in style.
Whether you’re a seasoned sysadmin or just learning what sudo does (don’t worry, we’ve all been there), this series is for you.
Welcome to The Nerdy Sixty. It’s going to get weird. In the best way.
