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.
