Reviving this thread for just a breif moment to say that, thanks to The Reccomended Guides Thread, I was able to find two resources I’ll be making heavy use of for this.
Just wanted to share these links in particular here as well, in case anyone digging through these forums has the same questions/concerns as I do. At least, I’d appreciate having everything in one place lol.
The Missing Semester of Your CS Education – goes over stuff such as the command line environment, version control, security, etc. Baby’s first steps.
Linux Upskill Challenge – how to set up and control a remote server from a Linux command line. So… How to self-host with Linux, basically :3
I might edit this post to include more resources as I find them, but I don’t anticipate that I will find more. At least, I won’t be actively looking for them.
