I need to quench my thirst for knowledge and learn something new just for the sake of it.

I've already learned:

  • Equations and pivot tables in Excel

  • Vector graphics in Inkscape

  • Music mixing in rekordbox

  • Personal VPN on a raspberry pi 4 with OpenVPN

  • LAMP stack web hosting

  • Streaming & video capture with OBS

  • Manual & automatic backups with FreeFileSync

Things I'm open to:

  • FOSS (even beta) or free-as-in-beer software

  • A high or low learning curve

  • Tools for niche fields that I'd otherwise have no reason to learn

    It is tradition (and fun) to start your Blender journey with the Donut Tutorial.

    Nice I haven't done that one! Haven't even touched blender in years, but I've gone through like 3 of his donut tutorials over the past decade or so. They're really fun and show off how impressive the program is.

    Adding to that, since I work at a computer I was never motovated to stay at tbe same place to learn blender so I changed to Nomad Sculpt at the tablet and I love it, I can do it from my couch (or toilet lol). It is a different aproach tho
