Taking the opportunity to ask: are there nice recommended resources for a beginner to start with reverse engineering (ideally using Ghidra)? Let's say for an experienced developer, but not so experienced in reverse engineering?

I guess one issue I have is that I don't have good ideas of fun projects, and that's probably something I need to actually get the motivation to learn. I can find a "hello world", that's easy, but it won't help me get an idea of what I could reverse engineer in my life.

For instance I have a smartspeaker that I would like to hack (being able to run my own software on it, for fun), but I don't know if it is a good candidate for reverse engineering... I guess I would first need to find a security flaw in order to access the OS? Or flash my own OS (hoping that it's a Linux running there), but then I would probably want to extract binary blobs that work with the buttons and the actual speaker?
