    Speaking of linux and living alone, the times I’ve managed to solve tech problems without the internet, using only documentation, have always made me feel like a badass

      it’s some real shit.

      It’s better if you sleep on that shit, and realize what the solution is after the fact, only to have it work first try, that shits so good.

      The only thing i’ve ever experienced that was better was unfucking some fucked wiring for a technical minecraft design, it’s hard but god does it feel so fucking good.

      When you go on the Internet, nine times out of ten all you’ll get is idiots telling you “install arch noob” (they’ve been running linux for all of six months), “it works here” (different environment altogether), “you should redo all of your project with <pet project> instead” (sure, let’s spend three months redoing everything)…

      So the documentation is typically a safer bet. Not always, but often.
