I also had sites I wanted to share: –Swiftread or spreeder, shows one word at a time to read pasted text –12ft ladder, paste sites into this and it’ll block ads –Invidious, ad free, viewcount free youtube experience & it doesnt play automatically when you click a video –localingual, interactive map of the world, you can listen to each country’s anthem and language
straight to the point cooking recipes
Oh thank you! I am SO tired of scrolling past paragraphs and paragraphs of ads, rambling lead-up, and backstory to get to three lines of recipe.
Did one of your annoying nerdy friends hide some weird unicode in a message they sent to you? Copy/paste into this site to see exactly what dickery they’re up to:
https://babelstone.co.uk/Unicode/whatisit.html
I say this because I’m that annoying friend that likes to slip a unicode right-to-left character in just to see what happens.
Can you give an example of the kind of dickery one might get up to by hiding Unicode in a message? I’m not sure I understand what this is for
You can reverse the way characters display with this unicode character. U+202E. Example. You can use this to make users think that a file has a different exnetion that it really has. Example: image.gnp.exe This example actually has the extension.exe so it is a executable but looks like it is a PNG.
Also, at an old workplace I put that in my username in our chat app and it completely screwed up the UI for people that were using terminal apps for chat as soon as my username appeared and I had to take it out.
You can also do things like use confusable characters to point someone at the wrong domain like pаypal.com.
Pretty cool story. Thanks for the site looks interesting.
crab.fit
Great for when you’re trying to schedule a meeting or show when you’re available. It’s even free and open source.
Joplin and Obsidian.md
Joplin is open source note taking to the bone and obsidian is still open but with some paid favors in the mix. Both have mobile and desktop clients for just about everything except a literal toaster.
Edit: lmao I am a kumquat, obsidian isn’t actually open source except for the plugins. So keep that in mind if you plan to use it.
I will also throw in syncthing. Open source, syncs files between devices it’s pretty freaking neato. Definitely a 10 out of 10 project for me.
Obsidian is sick. Its best if you know markdown (which is easy to learn). Instead of paying for Obsidian sync, I just use nextcloud to sync my obsidian vault across multiple devices.
This shit is full of red circles LMAO.
Extracts recipes from blogspam
For reading manga: Kotatsu
It’s free and open source. Has a great UI and you have great features like downloading manga and it rememberimg where you left of.
Kotatsu oh this is a sick one, I’ve been using bato.to
I suggest stutter for a Firefox version of spreeder / swiftread.
Just about any mobile restaurant app is worth downloading in my experience. Ordering ahead often lets you skip lines. And most apps these days have some sort of rewards programs. Even if I’m going to a place once, I usually download the app just to see what it offers.
I fucking hate apps!
Just make a proper web app, then everyone can use it…
I agree, I’ve saved a lot of money/time this way but, I don’t expect this to be a popular take here haha
Printfriendly. Edit any website down to the parts you want to save and convert them to PDF. I use it for trimming the cook’s life story out of recipes I want to save.
There is also “just the recipe” but it has gotten a bit… less good.
And of course they have an app now.
I suggest Archive.ph over 12ft ladder these days.
