Comment on anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?

  It seems like you have a learning preference for conversational information transfer. Maybe try finding a discord group where people regularly talk about this kind of thing. People on Internet forums tend to prefer written documentation and value search engine prowess.

    Written documentation that I can make sense of is fine. Documentation that’s written with a bunch of industry jargon and abbreviations, not so much.

      So, most of us aren’t in the industry yet we managed to learn the jargon we needed to learn in order to do what we wanted to do. I don’t understand why you are adamant about others helping you when you don’t really seem to care enough to learn some words and their meanings.

        What did I say that gave you the impression that I was “adamant” about this?

        Maybe you struggled and spent hours trying to research all of this. That’s something I’d like to avoid. I’d like to make better use of my time.

        I don’t know about you but I enjoy helping others learn. I volunteer my time to help people fix their vehicles all the time. I don’t just tell them “Google it and figure it out”. I walk them through it and try to explain it in terms they can understand. I don’t understand why this frustrates so many people.

        Several other people have already volunteered so you can just go away now, thanks.
