Sitting around waiting for things to compile is one of my least enjoyable life experiences

Can I offer you some pre-compiled binaries on these trying times?

As a developer, I thoroughly enjoy watching the flood of successful compiles. It's the only time that actually happens the first time..

When I installed Gentoo back in the very early 2000s I genuinely had no idea what I was doing. I printed out the entire install doc, then launched into the install with no working computer and just the paper doc.

I didn't know what I was doing but the install doc was good enough that I got a working installation!

I remember baffling some people on a forum asking for help with something dead simple and them not understanding how I had a working system without understanding that thing.

"But... you installed Gentoo from scratch, how do you not know this?"

"I just followed the install doc!"

I had a university lecturer who would talk on such a complex level I'd just fall asleep from confusion. Turns out he used to be a Gentoo dev. Figures.

Me trying to fumble my way around setting up my own lemmy instance. To be fair though, all their instructions are wrong.

Gentoo is hell I even followed a tutorial and it didn't work
