Who makes Stackroot, and how

Where this domain comes from

Stackroot continues the theme this domain carried from 2007 to 2025: The server-side web development stack (LAMP, PHP, ASP.NET) running on Linux, worked through as a practitioner.

From 2007 to 2025 this domain was run by its original owner. The domain was acquired in 2026 and Stackroot is now an independent publication on the same theme, with no relation to the previous owner.

Stackroot did not exist before 2026; the years above belong to the former site, not to this one.

It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a continuation of any former owner of this domain. It inherits the subject matter: server-side web development on Linux. It does not inherit the identity.

What carries over

The topic. The market. The language. The set of links between pages that makes the site navigable as a whole. Those are structural. A new project that takes over a domain takes over the shape of the content, not the face of it.

What does not carry over

The brand name. The byline. The voice. The visual identity. The claim of authorship. If you arrived here from a bookmark, an old email, or a search engine that still lists a previous site at this address: you are reading a different publication now. It is not the same person, the same team, or the same project.

Method

Every page is written to be run. Copy the command. Check the output. If a step does not match your version, the page says which version it targets. Corrections are welcome and are made in the next build, not in a comment thread.

A new project on an old address. The subject survives. The identity does not.
