If you can’t make any sense of it, keep trying. If keep trying isn’t what you want to do, don’t do it. Really, you don’t have to force yourself into this if it’s unintelligible and frustrating. I’ve hit the wall plenty of times, and I keep hitting the wall, sometimes I wish I could just stop while I’m not stressed and going bald.
Comment on anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?

It is freaking expensive and few people will want to do it for free.
I understand that. I thought maybe there would be someone wanting to help others get started but I totally understand if they don’t, also. I just hear so many people talk about how easy it is.

I do want to keep doing it. I just want to do it in a way that is efficient instead of scowering the web for more information I can’t understand.

If you’re confused about a specific term, ask about that specific term, and you’ll get many people eager to help. Sorry nobody wants to get on an open ended video call with a stranger to teach you how to run a server, but that’s just how these forums work. Everyone’s setup is different so there’s not much I could do to help in your video call.
Learning this stuff is hard, don’t let anyone tell you any different. We all went through the same struggles, perhaps for some people that was so long ago that they forgot how hard it was.

And we would end up going back and forth for hours instead of just figuring it out in a matter of minutes on a voice chat.
Speak for yourself. Others have already volunteered. If you don’t want to join, feel free to keep scrolling.
Seems to be a common thing with tech people.
