I've wanted to do the same for a while now, but I'm unable to find a curriculum that lists the textbook for each subject.

It looks like the article author is just "guessing" textbooks. I'm browsing the U. Waterloo curriculum and it doesn't specify any books.

The article is still useful, don't get me wrong, but I would love to see a list of the textbooks that are actually used at a university program. I've Googled it many times and I only find the names of the courses.

For the last couple of years I've been wanting to learn about how and when recycling works, cost comparison between recycled products and new products, environmental impact of landfill vs recycling, etc.

I don't know where to look for information.

What books should I read? what websites have good information and explanations? whom should I trust?

I can't stop thinking about creating my own operating system from scratch --similar to what Andreas Kling is doing with Sereneity OS-- but arriving at a usable state would probably take me 15 years, since I'm not even 10% as knowledgeable as Andreas.

I often think I should forget about this project altogether and focus on a viable one.

I want to like Zig, but I just hate the

    {var | const } identifier : type
syntax.

I know it's an extremely superficial observation, but it just doesn't feel good to me.

The difficulty of learning Linux doesn't lie in what flags you should pass to ls, or other GNU core utils idiosyncracies.

The difficulty lies in making sense of the stack of different pieces of software that make up a Linux system, and the terminology we use to communicate about them (e.g. what mounting a filesystem means, which was initially hard for me to understand, coming from Windows).

I don't like Night Light because the minimum filter level ("less warm") is still too intense for me. Increasing the range of the slider in that direction would fix this.

There's also the need to use a schedule, as opposed to simply enabling/disabling the filter at any time. But I noticed I can get around that limitation by setting the schedule from 20:00 to 19:59 and then using the global toggle.
