/adv/ post I made

 I decided to quote it because I thought something I wrote on it was funny. 

tend to do things just because I feel like it. I'm a NEET and I want to do more useful things. I also have a mental illness. I want to be a contributing member of society. So anyways I do things like installing Arch Linux just for the hell of it because I want to learn about Linux. Then I realized there's even more to learn because Arch is easy. So I'm thinking of installing LFS. I attempted it once then I got stuck because I guess I forgot a step. Though then I wonder what's the point other than just doing it? Learn about Linux, maybe, but will that get me a job one of these days? I am 40 years old so sometimes I think it's too late for me to ever get work unless I study something. The kind of things I want to learn I might study Computer Science, but at my age is that really realistic? My uncle who is a literal boomer thinks you can start any time. He sees people that are in their 50s going to school(He's a professor) I imagine there's a lot of math in Computer Science so before I can even think of doing that Id have to study math. It would be a little bit involved, probably too much for me. My uncle is a bit of an idealist. I suppose if I learned something in school that I actually have some of the fundamental skills that would make more sense. Also a lot of the time I think post secondary education is a meme of some kind that people go into debt for for very little reason nowadays. I figure I have a couple a spots filled on my diversity bingo card that I could get in easier. That's having a disability so maybe it wouldnt so bad. Not sure where I'm going with this post so I just sperged hard writing this but just wrote a bunch of stuff with no clear direction of what /adv/ other than hur dur how I figure out what to do?

Some metaphores about personal boundaries.

 I was thinking about social boundaries.  If you dont have many boundaries you dont tend to make lasting friendships and let all kinds of bad stuff in. Like a locked door to your apartment is a boundary in a way because it prevents people coming into your apartment unless yyou llet them in. 

Boundaries are sort of like the locked door or closed window. So not sure where I'm going with this. I decided to close some windows in my online life myself. Like not allowing DM's from server members anymore, that tends to be a source of stress when someone DM me out of the blue. 

I also disabled friend requests, a lot of people adding me either have borderline personalty disoder, are spammers/phishers.
I thought closing some windows so to speak would be a good idea. Dont want to let in the bugs. I dont really trust myself talking to people that much anymore so I thought of closing the Window that is Discord for awhile. Though not sure I need to do that.

I'm spending too much time wasting time

 I decided to spend less time on chat programs and Youtube. So instead of going on Youtube to kill time I'll go on other sites. Instead of talking to people online I'll either call someone in my family or talk to one of my real life friends.

In the mean time I'm going to spend time on introspection and figuring out something productive for me to do, like developing skills or accomplishing something meaningful. I think I might install LFS, as someone suggested on a /soc/ post, I posted his post here awhile back.

Another thing I dont like about spending so much time online is the types of people it exposes me to. Not really the healthiest thing so I might go back to having a more passive interaction with the internet. 

One thing I thought of doing even though not really useful is collecting pictures I find on the internet. Even though it's not useful it's relaxing because one thing I should be doing is relaxing more. I find a lot of the things I've been doing stressful.

I might write some guides on Realm Of Eternal Boredom about Linux

 Even though plenty of these guides exist I'll write it just so I'm describing it to someone. Also someone could benefit from just seeing it somewhere. Also i think I have an ability to break things down for people that other people arent willing to do as much. 

I want to write a lot more on my blog. Right now I feel like it's pathetic but like I was saying before there's a lot more pathetic writing on the internet so I shouldnt be so hard on myself.

I tried out LFS “Linux From Scratch “

 Someone replying to one of my /soc/ posts suggested I do it: 

 

He's right. Things are going down hill in Canada, so I should be learning useful skills or at least feeding my brain with useful skills. I'm always interested in learning things about Linux so as time goes on I tinker with it more and more getting into more difficult subjects within it. Though Linux from scratch is involved, it might take me awhile to do it successfully for the first time.  

This blog and my other one was from a period of time when I wanted to do more productive things. This blog in particular i created when someone was saying I was using the "Ranting" chatroom too much on a discord server. They since banned me permently even though I wasnt breaking any rules. Though that's besides the point. This blog is for making a space for my "livejournal-ish" writing i dont mind other people read or want them to read.

As for Linux From Scratch, I made a booboo and I got tired so I'm going to try again tomorow when I get some sleep. I might thoroughly read the "book" before i attempt again. A lot of what I followed assumes some knowledge and some things arent clearly written there.
