    Lame answer but YouTube. Channels in the vein of freecodecamp.org and Stanford Online are incredible. Any skill, hobby, repair, or question I can think of probably has videos there.

    I use youtube because most educational content is available en masse there for free.

    It would be great to see more on Odysee.

      Those are the two cornerstones of modern web. However, recently Bing got an LLM upgrade, so that tool is beginning to compete with those two. Learning stuff by asking questions seems to be working really well for me.

          The trick is to probe the same question from several different angles. Occasionally you’ll find that the first answer wasn’t correct, but you’ll eventually get to the right answer if you keep on poking around.
