Ask HN: Where do you go to find reliable, trustworthy information online?

I find myself struggling to find reliably consistent, trustworthy places to find information / answers to questions on the internet anymore. I absolutely despise Googling a question and getting generic blog spam from sites trying to stuff answers with SEO keywords. I tend to use Reddit a lot to search for posts to hear user opinions, and I begrudgingly accept the info as a source of truth a lot of the time as most of the time it feels like a Reddit user has less intention of spreading misinformation for the sake of getting ad revenue or higher Google results, etc. Obviously this is not always true, but if I see advice about X in a small subreddit dedicated to X, I trust that far more than "top 10 things to do" blog spam articles. Is there a good way to resource solid information on the internet nowadays? Wikipedia is obviously a great source, what else?
