      Aaand the arch wiki

      Aaand stack overflow

      Aaand the Gentoo wiki

      Aaand random Linux forums :P

      Aaand very occasionally the accessible source code for when you’re really stuck and have no other choice but to sell your soul in exchange for a glimmer of understanding after peering into the abyss.
