Hello y’all! I’ve always been interested in computers and programming for as long as i can remember, but recently i’ve decided to try to get into some of the deeper stuff behind that, into the wonderful world of electronics. Where should I start? What courses or books or youtube series should I consume? What are some high-quality forums, communities, blogs, etc. to learn from?

That's a really tough and broad question to ask. I would start with something you're interested in and dive down the rabbit hole from there.

  • Physical feats (led, cosmetic builds, arduino like other's have stated)
  • Gaming Centric (start your own cheap server, mod creation, and plunge into distros!)
  • Academic Learning (take a free course online on the basics of something like Python)
  • Home Networking Server (start hosting your own NAS (network attached storage/media) and add security to your network).

If you narrow it down some then you'll probably get more useful tips/links for what you're looking for.
