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

  • SlurpingPus@lemmy.world

    Greatly recommend this approach:

    • install Evil right away for humanly motion keys

    • perhaps install Org-mode if you’re still shopping around for the perfect notes app

    • spend a few months crafting your own configuration

    • backup your whole configuration, install Doom Emacs instead, port extra stuff from your conf on top of Doom

    • finally enjoy proper quality of life in Emacs
