I'm really eager to dive deep into the technical side of system administration, covering everything from Linux/Unix and networking to automation, security, scripting, databases, containers, and troubleshooting. I'm looking for recommendations from experienced sysadmins on the must-read technical books that have genuinely helped you. I'd appreciate any suggestions for guides that offer practical info or effective troubleshooting tactics that you still rely on today. Thanks for your input!

Don't forget about the man pages and official documentation! Books are great, but the landscape has changed quite a bit. The vastness of this field means the best resource also depends on which niche you want to focus on.
Yeah, I totally feel you! It's like the amount of info available now is overwhelming.
