Crash Course Computer Science
This was one of the very first resources I came across when starting to teach myself computer science and I think it does an incredible job at introducing students to the subject. The way it is structured starting at a very low level of abstraction (logic gates) and working up to higher and higher levels is the reverse of a typical intro course structure but I love it dearly. So many misconceptions, over-complications with internal models, and missing pieces of knowledge can be avoided doing it this way.

Grant Sanderson's 3Blue1Brown
I absolutely love what Grant Sanderson is doing with mathematics education (and technical education more broadly) with videos on motivated intuitions behind otherwise potentially quite hard to grasp topics. The Manim python library along with the community around it is also yet another sign that what he is doing is not just amazing in its own right but has real potential to be the basis for lots of new amazing educational content on the web!
Also he got me out of calculus one — just in case I needed any more reasons to be in awe of the project.

Zoe Bee
Another person who I believe is doing some incredible things on the internet. I love all of her videos so much, but her passion for education is especially heartwarming and inspiring to me. I sincerely believe that some of the videos on her channel have made me a better person after some reflection and that is always a good thing.
Also her cat is so cute and shows up in many videos which... it just adds that much more. From her current page description: The cat is the brains of the operation.

Indie Websites
Exerpt from the related Wikipedia entry,
The IndieWeb refers to the usage of decentralized, independently-hosted websites and personal web pages as the main form of connecting on and publishing material on the Internet, in contrast to social media. The term encompasses the movement advocating it, the web pages that make up, and the community formed around the movement.
To a greater extent than the other links on this page no guarentee can be made here about the content, usability, continued existence, or other such features of the linked pages. Due to the decentralized and unprofessional context of the Indie Web some content may not be appropriate for all audiences.
