Sources and applicability
New and revised guides should identify the applicable software versions and link to primary documentation for factual claims. Older guides may describe versions that are no longer supported. Always check the version and date before using a procedure.
Testing and examples
We distinguish procedures tested in a specified environment from guidance checked against documentation. Illustrative outputs are examples, not evidence that a test was performed. A source link alone does not establish that a procedure has been tested.
Commands and consequences
Commands that change configuration, affect access, or modify storage should include relevant prerequisites, backup precautions, and recovery guidance. A command appropriate for one system may be unsafe on another.
Updates and corrections
Publication dates record when articles were first published. A technical verification date should only be added after an actual review. Formatting changes do not make an old procedure current. Revised guides label completed source reviews as “Documentation reviewed” and state separately whether commands were executed. Untested hardware, unverified model-specific thresholds, and other applicability limits remain visible in the review record. Any guide awaiting a future review keeps its review status visible.
Advertising and commercial links
The site may display advertising or contain affiliate links. Commercial relationships should be disclosed beside relevant recommendations, and paid links identified appropriately. Advertising should remain distinct from instructions and copy controls.
Use of AI
AI can assist with organization, research, and drafting. Sources, technical claims, and any stated test results still require verification. We do not present invented experience as first-hand testing.
