  • There’s nothing wrong with looking things up, and it teaches future you what to do/how things work.

    That said, troubleshooting is a skill that can be applied to anything. It’s mostly just eliminating variables and patience sometimes, but even professionals still look stuff up regularly. All that reading and research helps you build a foundation to help inform your troubleshooting though.

    Also, +1 for man! If you need to know more about a command in the terminal, just type “man” (short for manual) then whatever the command is and you’ll be presented with documentation regarding the command!











  • Something like a surgical mask can help a bit even if other unmasked sick people are around (though it’s pretty minimal, less than 10% IIRC), but nowhere near as much as a proper respirator. It’s something like 25%-40% more effective vs. without one, and it goes up from there to 90%+ if everyone is wearing one and they are properly fitted. Some respirators don’t protect anyone from a sick wearer (like painter’s masks with cartridges and an unfiltered exhaust) but others do (like N95s/FFP2s). For the purpose of this article, “respirator” refers to stuff like n95s though.
