  • i started in january of this year because i upgraded my wife’s computer. that gave me an old computer to tinker with.

    i recommend getting an old computer, installing an OS (look up thinks like truenas, proxmox, unraid… there are more and they are different; try them all out if you want to see what you like)

    then go onto youtube and search for things like “<OS> beginner” and you will get a bunch of tips/tricks/tutorials/etc. for starting out with your favorite.










  • i think i am old. i grew up using DOS, and really hated spaces in filenames and folders because they appreared truncated at the first space with a tilde and index of that file/folder representation.

    ex: C:\folder name is bad\ == C:\folder~1

    i hated that so much that when i got to windows 3.1 i refrained from using spaces (some command line was still necessary in w3.1)

    i have jept that habit through the years, so when i moved from windoes to linux, my natural instincts of snake_case_folder_names made it so i didnt have to change : D
