Editing Introduction to a Self Managed Life: a 13 hour & 28 minute presentation by FUTO software (section)

The joy of this process is in making it your own. I gave you a rough outline here of what you can do; a guide that shows you what is possible, so that you could have those little kicks of dopamine that show up when something works. Those kicks of dopamine are imperative to you feeling good &amp; moving forward. Without them, most people give up &amp; stop trying. If you stop trying, you never learn.

The purpose of this guide wasn’t to tell you this is the only way to do all of these things. Rather, it was to provide you a framework that I ''100% know works since I followed it myself''. I’ve already set up a system like this, one chunk at a time, over 14 years. I can tell you what to do, but putting together instructions that actually work is only possible if I run through the process in realtime to ensure everything I am telling ''you'' to do actually works for me. By going through the guide as I write it, if I leave something out of this guide - then what I am doing won’t work.

My hope is that once you are un-encumbered by the Linux-isms &amp; open source-isms &amp; ''RTFM'' elitist forum assholes that link you to documentation that is wrong or makes no sense, that you’ll feel empowered to make something that kicks ass on your own. This is not the ''only'' way to do this, nor is this even the ''“right”'' way. There’s no such thing as the ''“right”'' way (although there are many '''WRONG''' ways!).

You don’t have to clone this setup. Figure out what works for you, build something cool in small pieces &amp; baby steps. You don’t have to do it all at once. Enjoy the journey! I can’t wait to see what you build. That’s it for today, &amp; as always, '''I hope you learned something!'''
