I’m Scott and I make practical, straightforward videos and guides focused on homelabs, NAS, Servers, Linux, and single-board computers. My goal is simple: help everyday people actually understand and use technology without the confusion, hype, or unnecessary complexity.

Most of the content here comes from real hands-on testing in my own lab — not just reading spec sheets or repeating marketing claims. If I recommend something, it’s because I’ve used it myself or would use it in a real setup.

Why I Started Mackey Tech

Technology should feel accessible, not intimidating.

When I first started exploring homelabs, NAS systems, and Linux, I ran into the same problems many people do, which is the presenter talking way over my head or not providing important content or overly using acronymns. So I decided to create Mackey Tech to provide the kind of explanations I wish I had when I started — clear, honest, and practical.

What You’ll Find Here

On this site and the YouTube channel, you’ll find: Beginner-friendly homelab tutorials about NAS appliances, guides to servers, Linux walkthroughs, product reviews, Raspberry pi content, and real-world use cases based on real testing. I only work with products I personally use and I think would be of value to my viewers!

Everything is focused on learning by doing! Thanks for stopping by!
