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

  • Kaldo@fedia.io

    I like numbers and was really tempted to go all in into this rabbit hole but this ends up being a lot of work and stress if you try to maintain it manually. It’d be ideal to be able to automate imports from your banking apps but those don’t really exist, or depend on some possibly sketchy 3rd party services that I dont trust with my finances
