Part of the answer lies in the definition of "worth". If the price of a course doesn't effect your budget much, and they offer personalized help (for when you get stuck, or just can't grasp a certain aspect), then it could be worth it.
If you're in the, "I had better get hired somewhere to pay for this course" boat, then your money is probably better spent on a few good books. "Good" being the key word in the previous sentence.
I haven't taken any paid online courses, but of the free courses available, and various books I've looked at, very few are any good at instruction.
It's rare to find material that has the student create practical examples that build upon one another, teaches "best practices" (most focus on syntax only), or how to debug your code in an effective manner.
A great example of the right way to teach an introduction programming is "Python Crash Course" by Eric Matthes ( https://nostarch.com/python-crash-course-3rd-edition ). Even if you're not learning Python, this might be a good resource. At one point, I started using the exercises in that book to write/learn JavaScript.

It does sound strange. What version of Albyhub currently?
Is it on x86 or aarch64(ARM) machine?
If the latter, in case you're running a Debian/Ubuntu on a Pi or similar ARM, and you can stomach some shell scripting, find below a script that automatically updates to the latest from github. Depends on gnupg and jq (json parser). Every time you run the update, you must log in to unlock the wallet.
However, Settings > Auto Unlock is now a feature. Best only use it on baremetal, which is your case. The password is stored in the local machine WITHOUT encryption, so anybody with access to that machine could potentially steal all your funds.
### SCRIPT STARTS HERE ###

probability bias in single bit values is not the only possible bias in hash functions. i quote llm:
Consider a simple example where we have a sequence of bits generated by flipping a fair coin (probability = 0.5). Despite the fairness of individual flips, patterns can emerge over longer sequences due to the law of large numbers and other statistical properties.
...the distribution of run lengths can exhibit detectable patterns.
i leave calculations out, as i have yet to understand them, but the conclusion sounds logical.

Ich mach mir da auch nicht die Hoffnung ins kostenlose Mining einzusteigen. Aber Preise sind so gefallen, dass der Einstieg jetzt nicht so wehtut. Zusätzlich habe ich vollständig unverschatteten Balkon in Südlage, der gerade fertig renoviert ist. Also habe ich zugeschlagen. Ich denke aber, dass zumindest tagsüber auch hier im Norden Deutschlands mit ein wenig Anpassung der Nutzungszeit von Großverbrauchern wie Waschmaschine relativ wenig aus dem Netz bezogen werden müsste in der Nacht.

Trying to understand what just happened between Trump and Zelenskyy:
- Trump claims WW3 could happen if peace deal isn't reached
- Trump ends the meeting early and kicks Zelenskyy out because Zelenskyy was disrespectful
I'm no statesman but if WW3 is on the line I think tolerance for disrespect would be wise to reach the necessary conclusion?
