For everyone that's getting into #selfhosting #linux #homelab right now, a PSA:
I've been a professional, certified cloud engineer now for several years.
There is not a day that goes by where I'm not learning something, or feeling like an absolute beginner that's never coded a day in my life, even though I've been coding for a while now.
There is just too much knowledge for one human being to process.
So give yourself a break. Don't feel like you have to learn it all right now. (Spoilers: you won't)
You can do it incrementally. It can take you a long time. It's ok.
Just do what you can, when you can, and if you're feeling confused, then you're doing it right. That's normal.
Keep asking questions, and trying to solve problems.
There are sometimes well-meaning voices out there making it sound like "if you're not doing X and Y YOU'RE WRONG!!"
They may even be right about X or Y, but their delivery sucks.
Don't let that get to you.
Learn at your own pace. Do what you can, when you can.
You'll get better as you do it more.
