I wish they had a song lookup in addition to the artist lookup. I have so many songs in my "liked songs" list in my Spotify and it gets difficult to try to organize them into moods and flavors.

zombo.com. Most people don't realize you can do anything there.

[-] glad_cat@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 year ago

The only limit is yourself.

[-] ShroOmeric@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Your first time? I'm jealous

[-] Odo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

html5zombo.com is better for modern browsers, now that Flash is dead.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago

There's no flash on zombo.com. Unless you want there to be.

12ft.io

if you see an article online but it asks for a subscription before you can read it, you can put the webpage of that article in 12ft.io and it'll give you a version you can read without such guards. The person who made it says there's a special code in those sites that doesn't block the article for search engines, as doing so would cause the google/bing/etc to block that result. So they just found that code and put it in a webpage for you

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

I get it. A 12ft ladder to see over the pay wall

[-] Cabeza2000@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I used it in the past but it stopped working for some sites.

I prefer to use archive.ph now.

https://exercism.org

Learn coding on a site that seems to get it right. Lots of information, multiple languages, and mentors to help you get past a difficult problem.

Fantastic site, highly recommended!

[-] shadowSprite@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Wow, I'm in computer science 1 this semester and my instructor is not great at breaking things down. This may help save my semester!

[-] bloopernova@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

If my comment helps a couple of people, I will be giddy for days lol.

[-] shadowSprite@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I was too lazy to pull out my laptop last night, but I looked at it on my phone and it looks like it's going to be such a helpful resource! I'm going to share with a few of my classmates who are also struggling with the lack of instruction. You've definitely helped at least one poor computer science student, thank you so much!

[-] null@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago

This looks awesome! How is this free?

[-] bloopernova@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Donations of money, and time from volunteer mentors.

[-] null@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

Just dug in some more and saw it's open-source too, and they teach you how to contribute. I'm in love.

I've been planning to learn Javascript and Python -- you just made my month!

Crontab Generator

Systemd Generator

I think they are very helpful ☺️

[-] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago

Crontab generator was my gateway to all things 'generator'. Looking for a quick way to construct something? Google it + generator to see if someone has created a generator site for it.

Oh how I wish I knew this existed years ago! My standard procedure is to go to systemd's doc website and spend 10 minutes looking for the option I want.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 33 points 1 year ago

You guys ever hear about this social media thing called Lemmy?

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

No, tell me more.

It shows you what bias(es) the news sources and articles you are reading may have.

[-] HorseWithNoName@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

https://geocities.restorativland.org/

This is a collection of salvaged original Geocities sites. There must be hundreds and hundreds of random people's homepages from the mid 90s to early 2000s. Some of them still have working links. The "Hollywood" section is the best because it has endless fan pages of 90s media and celebrities.

[-] irdc@derp.foo 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That last one has a community on Lemmy dedicated to it: !hackernews@derp.foo.

techdirt.com

News and analysis (and some biting commentary) on mostly tech policy stuff. Run by the guy who coined the phrase " Streisand Effect" in a post on that site, Mike Masnick. Very insightful, apolitical, and a good way for me to keep up on topics I don't normally follow too closely. Bonus: No annoying ads

[-] AceTKen@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

You had me at apolitical.

No it has nothing to do with what it makes you think of and no I'm not sorry for ruining your work efficiency

Not really underrated but one that most people probably dont know, hackaday.com. Its all about hardware hacking, which is primarily people making stuff with electronics or making them do things they werent designed to do but they also have a whole heap of non electronics stuff. If you can make it, and its clever, it belongs there!

[-] kometes@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago
[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago

https://cyber.dabamos.de/

There's some bunch of stuff but also large collection of 88x31 GIFs. It is a nice static webpage.

[-] Granixo@feddit.cl 9 points 1 year ago

It's hard to comment without this being a NSFW post.

We all already know about cute hamster videos 😸

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

So, should I make a NSFW version of this thread when I'm off work?

[-] Granixo@feddit.cl 11 points 1 year ago

If you would like to make an important contribution to internet culture, then yes, you should. 🧐

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago
[-] TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I can always imagine 2 huuuge cultures! I'm absolutely a fan too!

[-] Granixo@feddit.cl 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Why not four? :)

Mcstories.com already has great content, but lacking search. This site just searches mcstories.
