Terms of Use

Last updated 9 August 2026.

These are the terms for using capturedbynguyen.com. By reading or commenting here, you accept them.

Technical posts come with no warranty — read this one

A large part of this site describes changes to servers, storage and networks: Proxmox, ZFS, LXC containers, backups, kernel updates. Those posts are a record of what worked on my hardware, at that time. They are not professional advice, and they are not tested against your setup.

Some of the commands published here can destroy data or take a system offline. Before you run anything from this site:

  • Understand what the command does. Do not paste it because it appeared to fix someone else’s problem.
  • Have a backup you have actually restored from at least once.
  • Try it somewhere that does not matter first.

You run everything here at your own risk. I accept no liability for data loss, downtime, hardware damage, or any other loss arising from anything you read on this site.

Accuracy and age

Software changes. A post that was correct when written may be wrong a year later, and I do not revisit every old post when something upstream changes. Every post shows its publication date for exactly this reason. Nothing here is guaranteed to be current, complete or correct.

My content

The writing and photographs on this site are mine and are protected by copyright. You may quote a reasonable extract with attribution and a link back. Please do not republish whole posts, and please do not use this content to train or fine-tune machine learning models without asking me first.

Code and configuration snippets are published so that you can use them. Use them freely in your own work — the no-warranty section above still applies.

Your comments

Comments are moderated and appear only after I approve them. I remove spam, advertising, personal attacks, and anything unlawful, and I do not owe an explanation for a comment I choose not to publish.

What you write stays yours. By posting it you give me permission to display it here, and to keep displaying it alongside the post it belongs to. You are responsible for what you write and for having the right to write it.

Advertising and links

This site carries advertising. Ads are served by third parties, and their presence is not an endorsement — I do not choose or review them individually.

Posts link to other sites. I do not control those sites and am not responsible for their content, their accuracy, or what they do with your data.

Availability

This is a personal blog on shared hosting. It may be slow, it may be down, and posts may be edited or removed without notice. No uptime is promised.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States.

Changes

These terms may change. The date at the top will change with them.
