Ethereum Foundation removes their canary
Even more relevant would be the Ethereum Improvement Proposal repo (where people submit proposals to change the spec):

Or the go-ethereum execution client (the most popular execution client):

Daily General Discussion - June 18, 2023
Interestingly, this was mitigated in Geth v1.11.4 this March, so should no longer be a concern on Ethereum, though the authors note that forks e.g. BSC and ETC may still be vulnerable.

How to transfer a token on the ETH blockchain?
you can also write your own key generator using web3.py (https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py, see this part of the docs https://web3py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/web3.eth.account.html#creating-a-private-key)

MAIAN Smart Contract auditing
I understand from literally the only other thread about this on the internet (https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/879) that web3 removed 'KeepAliveRPCProvider' from newer versions. Is there a fix for this or is this tool obsolete now?

After heavy consideration and research I’ve decided not to spend a bunch of money on a bootcamp. So where to start?
There's also Github where many people have posted open source projects such as this: https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py
- Showcase Your Open Source Contributions Using Gource.
- Decode uint256 to (uint112, uint112, uint32) python

for a beginner
True but there is a decent amount of support for Python when it comes to Web3 (Web3.py for example). Plus, Python is a great starting language anyway

A very confused guy needs an advice on how to start
Another thing you might consider is web3.py. It might not be as useful as javascript libraries (web3/ethers), depending on what you plan to build, but the concepts are all the same and, again, you can leverage existing python knowledge.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing go-ethereum and web3.py you can also consider the following projects:
