Sitting around waiting for things to compile is one of my least enjoyable life experiences
As a developer, I thoroughly enjoy watching the flood of successful compiles. It's the only time that actually happens the first time..
Can I offer you some pre-compiled binaries on these trying times?
I knew golden retrievers were smart, but so smart that they're leaving reddit for lemmy? Geniuses!
Me trying to fumble my way around setting up my own lemmy instance. To be fair though, all their instructions are wrong.
we are all secretly golden retreivers on the inside
All my homies use NixOS now
Whenever I try to get I to nix, I take a took at the nixpkgs and it scares me straight
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.
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!"
Gentoo is hell I even followed a tutorial and it didn't work
