  • Motivation isn’t a real thing. Stop leaning on it and waiting for it to show up out of the blue and support you.

    Discipline is what you need. Sucks to hear, sorry for that.

    Trust me on this: you told yourself it’s easy. So do it. It’s easy. If you don’t, these inactions will low key create self hatred. You’ll fall behind before you realize it, be inundated with work, and your subconscious will think back to this moment. All you’ll hear is “Fuck this I hate this this sucks” maybe even “I hate myself”.

    Don’t let it get there.

    It’s easy? Prove it.

    If you get shit done while being true to yourself, self-hate is genuinely difficult.









  • Everyone is gonna learn best differently. There’s no best place to start.

    Id start with solving a problem. For me, this was not wanting to make a backup to transfer my data from my old machine to my new one. So I built a little Ubuntu Server, setup a rudimentary samba share, setup users/groups, and figured out how to access that data from my network.

    Docker is easy, you’ll learn it by mistake. It’ll haunt you like it’s some complicated thing until you realize you’re doing it and it’s literally incredibly straightforward.

    From there, Id maybe say go to WordPress and follow instructions about setting up a WordPress site in a docker container. Oops, you just learned docker.

    Id hold off on hosting email. I mean it’s a noble goal but it’s a fucking headache. But that’s just me! Like I said, everyone’s different.

    Piece of advice, before you go hosting a monero server, dig into cybersecurity. Particularly server hardening. I recommend Hack The Box. There’s tons of platforms, though.
