If the goal is to live on your own without sighted help you need the microwave, laundry, cleaning, basic grooming/personal hygiene (e.g. cut your own fingernails, do your hair so it's not all over the place--obviously you already shower), basic budgeting, and a phone that can run a grocery delivery app and Uber. Also obviously a source of money but that's not an O&M skill.

You'll want more than that for luxury but you can even go so far as to bake one-person cakes in the microwave so that'll cover cooking for a while.  Being able to go out is nice, and you're going to want friends, so the rest isn't "optional" as such but these days you can go months at a time without ever stepping outside your front door if you really want as long as the internet is working.  Basic stove, basic oven, basic "I can walk around the block", "I feel confident and able to ride the bus/train" add a lot to quality of life though.  But they're optional in the sense that their lack doesn't stop you from living independently, just less optional if you want to live happily.

Also protip: if you buy all your clothes so that they match, that is 5 shirts and 5 shorts is 25 acceptable outfits, you never have to worry about color.  You can also get color absorber things for the washer that'll prevent having to sort and do multiple loads, or buy higher quality clothes that won't bleed.  Lots of blind people don't know that, and we didn't when I was younger, and laundry was just an epic terrible nightmare.  But these days I throw one load in and press start.  If you want to go that route you're looking for things like polyester and various synthetics as opposed to cotton, e.g. polo or under armor.

I think I know most of the things that you are talking about. I will be able to get a phone and Internet but this is all around a year away so things could change and I could learn more

Hello,
@camlorn, since you seem to be the one with most of the experience here, the 2 things on your list of things to know I'm not 100% sure I have properly learned are nail cutting and cleaning. I think I can probably figure out the former without much of an issue, my nails are literally never straight even when sighted humans cut them, but cleaning is such a weird subjective thing and I'm not 100% sure of what all I really need to worry about. E.G, I know a few people who insist that *everything* aught to be cleaned, even going so far as the sink and the bath, both of which, uh, kind of shouldn't need cleaning in my opinion. I mean sure you have toothpaste in the sync, but unless you spit it out really early it won't be able to condense much anyhow, and if you're anything like me, you always run that tap just to rinse the toothbrush off when you're done anyway.
Also, when it comes to cleaning toilets, what all do you actually do? E.G, is it enough to just dump some bleach in there and let it do it's thing? Or do you actually have to go in there with a brush and such like. And as far as general dusting of the house is concerned, would it be enough to simply get one of those autonomous vacuum cleaners and let it do it's thing?

Fingernails with fingernail clippers are actually pretty easy after the first few times, and fingernail clippers themselves aren't dangerous at all.  You can feel the entire process, and you basically just cut off the points until there aren't any.  For that one, just try it is my advice.  That's what I did, sometime in high school when I got tired of asking for help and it ended pretty fine.

Sinks and showers do need to be cleaned.  Your parents or whoever are doing it.  Trust me, you can tell If it's not.  it'll both smell and be easy enough to feel.  Toothpaste does clump up in the bottom of sinks, and showers will get a sort of residue buildup from soap.  In both cases, you get a rag and a cleaner and have at it.  Typically you get the cleaner on the entirety of the shower and the sink, let it sit for a few minutes to break down stuff, then scrub.  It's entirely possible to feel if it's dirty, so that's not a huge issue.  Most of cleaning is about learning to be regular when scrubbing, since as a blind person it's going to take active practice to learn to not miss spots.  The cleaner I use for sinks and showers currently is this.  There are lots of other options, but I've found that that one does a pretty good job on everything bathroom except the toilet, but the downside is it's not in a spray bottle, so getting it on the thing in the first place is kind of hard, but I'm odor sensitive and that one doesn't bother me, plus it's really strong.  But in the general case you just go to any store and buy some, because mostly they're the same.

The toilet is the gross one.  Bleach isn't enough.  Urine and feces will build up on the inside of it.  Fortunately, you don't have to use your hands.  Toilet brushes are basically a wire brush with a long handle.  The cleaner for that comes in a bottle with a sort of curved thing on the top that you run around the rim as you squeeze it, and then it runs down the side of the bowl.  You let that sit for a few minutes, then you get out your toilet brush and methodically scrub it and that's fine.  You'll also want to wipe down the outside with a rag as well, and something like the above linked cleaner isn't a bad idea.  If you have a penis, then missing slightly from time to time is something that may be happening to you--and usually people who are caring for you are going to be too polite to say much.  So you have to be careful of that.  I used to know one blind guy who dealt with it by always sitting, but you don't have to if you're good at it.  But you do want to make sure you know if this is happening, because even if it's slight that's going to be a reason to clean it more often.

Bleach is also a good all-purpose cleaner, but with less tolerance if you're blind.  You don't want to touch it with your bare skin, and it'll show on your clothes pretty much permanently if you even so much as spill it on your shirt for a couple minutes.  Sometimes it's useful, but I avoid it because it makes me ill if it's so much as in the same building, plus the aforementioned.

You will want to learn to manually vacuum and mop.  I'll come back to automated vacuums in a sec but there are no good automated mops.  You can either use a bucket of water and a traditional mop, or any of the variety that have pre-set pads you just stick on, but which doesn't matter so much.  The primary difficulty is (again) learning to be regular and methodical so you don't miss stuff.  Vacuums work on dry stuff, but bathrooms and kitchen spills are a real problem and your choices are either mop or get on the floor with a rag, and trust me that mopping is way faster.

Automated vacuums are amazing, but you get what you pay for.  I have one, because pandemic funtimes mean that I don't have the energy to get the regular vacuum out and I'd just keep "I'll do it tomorrow" indefinitely.  Plus we had one in Florida that easily handled 3 large dogs and a 1500 square foot house.  It empties itself at a base station, you configure it to run on a schedule with an app, and then you maybe intervene once a month or so if the app is like "your vacuum didn't empty properly" or "your vacuum got stuck".  It just comes out twice a week, runs around and does it's thing for 45 minutes, and does a better job than I can after many years of practice with the regular one.  Doesn't get caught on shoestrings or cords or anything, is smart enough to not run your feet over, etc.  The only real downside is that mine can be a little bit loud, and they're not going to be so great if the entire house is carpet.  But you want to avoid carpet anyway, to be honest.

*but*.  The price tag on that is around $1000.  The lower end ones aren't going to get the job done.  Mine is iRobot.  I'd maybe trust Samsung.  But the $500 range or so, even from iRobot, is some wheels, a fan, and some bumper sensors.  The iRobot will last for years and years, if you take care of it and don't like have kids trampling it.  The one the family has back in Florida has been going strong for like 4 or 5 at this point with no major issues.  SO once you've got one you're probably okay, and you can probably find one used and etc, and it's really nice, but you'll have to choke on that price to get one that's as good as what a human can do.  Fortunately regular vacuuming isn't hard, it's jut annoying.

Lastly, the things you're forgetting about: you need to scrub tables, tops and front of counters and cabinets, dust the tops of dressers and desks, and make sure to frequently wipe down the stove.  Especially the stove; if you don't do the stove, it'll literally bake stuff on so bad that you can't get it off.  The oven is fortunately easy if you get a self-cleaning one: you press a couple buttons, it does it's thing, then you vacuum out the bottom for like 30 seconds to get the ashes out.  Anything I haven't mentioned above doesn't take any particular skill, but knowing that something is dirty and needs to be cleaned can be a challenge, and knowing just what all in your house is going to need a good dusting and when is something that's easy to overlook.

Now, the good news.  The good news is that for most of this you'll just need to find someone who's cleaning, be like "I need to learn to clean, can I shadow you and help?" and do that a few times.  It's not dangerous, it's not *that* hard, it's just time consuming and icky.  The way this works out in practice is that once you get your first couple cleaning skill points or whatever, you'll be able to clean fine but it'll take you 2 or 3 or 10 times longer than the sighted person. But you get fast at it really fast, so that doesn't last long and then it's just that annoying thing you have to do once every week or two.

O haha lights.  Yeah.  I forget to turn on the lights all the time.  Most of the time there's enough light from the windows that the meetings and work and stuff are fine but every once in a while there's a good-natured "we can't see you".

I guess if we're going to talk about presentation: know how to hang nice shirts.  Make sure you have some nice button-up shirts to hang.  Get some dress pants, or at least some jeans.  Knowing how to tie a tie is optional and depends a lot on what field you're going into, but all of the aforementioned help a *lot* when it comes to getting interviewers to take you seriously.  All the sighted people do this, but if we're talking about "what don't I know that I need to know" this is yet another thing that no one may have mentioned.  It's stupid social signalling.  Basically there are things that people do where the whole point is that you expend effort to show how much something means, and you do so in a society-defined manner, and the society-defined manner for virtue signalling "I want this job" is button-up shirt, nice pants, etc.

@11, the precious tie. I was pretty much forced to learn to do it myself after my parents would tie it so stupidly I felt ashamed of it, and I went on YT and learnt how to do a double Windsor. I'm still trying to get the Trinity. Also, another thing to consider, not sure if other blind people do it, you'll also wanna be skilled with tying your shoes and making sure its not flapping and pelting all over the place

@13
You could just get shoes that don't require tying.  That does exist now.  I would recommend learning it, but that option does exist.

@14
It's spelled vinegar.

Also, I hate to tell you that that's almost certainly not working as well as you think it is.  The vinegar + baking soda thing is not a strong cleaner at all.  It's probably only getting half of it off.  Literally any cleaner is going to be better/easier.

I can't stress this enough.  Your house can be a moldy pig stye that gives people food poisoning just by breathing the air and sighted people still won't say "did you know your carpet is melting and looks like something from the university biology lab?"  Usually the most you get is suddenly you're always going out with your friends rather than them coming over.  Be very careful about figuring out if what you're doing actually works, or you just think it does.

15, that is a good point. Mold will form when there is dampness. You shouldn't leave spills in a carpet. Or better yet, avoid the spill in the first place. Also more suggestions
Get a credit card, or at least several with different uses, such a no foreign fees card, a grocery card etc. I would recommend getting at least an  American Express as one of them, as it has a dispute charges feature, and purchase protection, and automatic extended warranty for electronics. Once you have a credit card, I  would advise against using a bank card, as credit card fraud protections and theft protection is much more robust and also the purchase protection where you get charged a wrong amount or refused a refund for a damaged/defective product.

ySmall addendum to automated vacuum cleaners: those are great if you can efford them. The only thing you might still need to take care of are edges and corners, since automated cleaners tend to leave some remains there, but to be honest, thats not alot of work, and you can do it once a month, even two if you can live with that.
Light switches: see if you can make your home smart if that is something that really bothers you. Some electrician or sighted person who knows something about power connections etc can add you some wall switches behind the actual light switch that can be controlled via an app and will integrate perfectly fine with the actual physical switch, so that you can shut everything off either via app or via assistants like Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant. There are some from Shelly, for example, which are cheap ($20 per switch), don't require a bridge but WiFi only and are rather small.

So just use a better detergent?  Lots and lots of ways to kill bacteria that aren't cooking your clothes.

21, the main purpose of detergent from my understanding isn't to sanatize, but to remove stuff like dirt stains etc. I really don't think cooking clothes is any more harmful than disolving it with bleach or more detergent. This is still the way many wash their clothes around the world, and of course only for matterials that can handle it. Seems only in north america machines have dummbed down temp settings iether because of crazy federal energy requirements or for the companies to cover their asses in case someone accidentally selects the option.
But as for independence again, money is very important too. Someone blind will get less out of a comparable salary to a sighted person due to all the expenses that are extra, hardware, transportation, software etc.
