Lame answer but YouTube. Channels in the vein of freecodecamp.org and Stanford Online are incredible. Any skill, hobby, repair, or question I can think of probably has videos there.
Probably Khan Academy
I use youtube because most educational content is available en masse there for free.
Those are the two cornerstones of modern web. However, recently Bing got an LLM upgrade, so that tool is beginning to compete with those two. Learning stuff by asking questions seems to be working really well for me.
Oh yeah haven't tried bing chat yet but I I'm using chatGPT and it is quite useful it helped me alot
Mhm, I do this too! It really helps in finding answers to very specific questions
The trick is to probe the same question from several different angles. Occasionally you’ll find that the first answer wasn’t correct, but you’ll eventually get to the right answer if you keep on poking around.
Here is a list of websites I had saved from Reddit about 8 years ago. Apologies in advance, I haven't checked any of the URLs if they are still valid.

To the best of my knowledge, these are all free and legal, and of varying degrees of usefulness. here's the thread I originally put it in, which may have some similar stuff. http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/268a0s/what_random_things_can_i_get_certified_for_over/
Answering for looking it up later!
I know you asked for one, but I'm going to list a whole bunch of websites that I use/used during school. Bolded are my favorites from each category.
http://www.foundalis.com/lan/hw/grkhandw.htm Gives instructions on how to write Greek letters. Idk if this is useful for anyone else, but for some reason I have a hard time writing some Greek letters without this.
https://www.youtube.com/@ProfessorLeonard Another great channel for math. He's a professor who uploads his lectures from pre-calc up to diff eq I believe. Videos are long, but well worth it. He's the one of only reasons why I passed calc 1 and why (fingers crossed) I'll pass calc 2 this summer.
https://www.ipachart.com/ How various IPA letters sounds like, not specific to French. They don't have all of the French letters, but useful regardless
phraseFantasic Resource for French language learning. Lots of info on here and while specific for French, can be useful for getting ideas on what/how to learn for other languages
https://www.wordreference.com/ French-English dictionary (not only has more languages than just French and English). Gives context, has conjugations, and has a forum so if your specific usage of the word isn't in the dictionary, you can ask/search the forum.
deepl.com Translator
That's it! There are some websites/extensions that I use for school that I didn't mention here because it's too specific, but here is (mostly) everything that I use regularly during high school and college
some big tech companies have courses on their websites, cisco microsoft google etc, worth to check imo.
Does Wikipedia count? Then Wikipedia.
