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

KiCad takes around 5 minutes to learn and is some of the best software for designing schematics and PCBs.

Falstad is great for when you need simulations of schematics and don't want the headache of trying to use KiCad's built in simulation tools.

Both are FOSS.
