A mini PSA: If you want to really learn and be part of something you’re serious about, go outside.
-
Want to learn GNU/Linux, free software? Need tech support? Find a Linux User Group (LUG) in your local area and participate.
-
Want to get into computer/information security? Join a local DEF CON group.
-
Want to build something? Join a hackspace.
-
Are you interested in amateur radio? Join an amateur radio society and see if you can get your license. If you got your license, keep attending!
-
University student? Join a society.
Just please take some time and go outside. This post isn’t calling out people who don’t, or people who are introverted. I am very introverted and I often find myself staying inside for weeks at a time but being outside and talking to others once in a while will keep you sane. I also feel like you learn things better when you arent at home as there is less distractions from the things you are attached to.
When I surround myself with people who have likewise interests, I see myself being more likely to talk about the things I want to learn.
See you soon.
