Bonus points is you can host yourself with docker. It has a bunch of handy tools for computer related projects.

This To That tells you what type of adhesive to use to glue different materials together. It's handy for Halloween when suddenly you need to figure out how to attach vinyl to styrofoam or something (hot glue)

Useless in every country except one though. Never heard of these brands

A small instance of USDefaultism, but I appriciate OP's thought.

http://remove.bg is a website that makes removing backgrounds from photos or artwork a lot easier! I think it uses A.I or something, it's been super helpful for me a couple times.

seirdy.one has this great index of google alternatives that can be used.

Anna's Archive and z-library are the best way I've found to pirate books

This site will show you how to tackle any stain.

Sadly, today I was greeted with this message: We have discontinued our stain solution website.

How much does the "textile world" change? How does a method of cleaning fabric become outdated? I have so many questions!

No, do you?

https://favicon.io/favicon-converter/ - Convert an image to a favicon file in many formats.

https://ninite.com/ - Easiest way to set up a new Windows PC with the latest common applications without toolbars, prompts, or anything like that. Not necessarily obscure but I like to peddle it.

https://www.printablepaper.net/ - Need a check register? Graph paper? Lined paper? College ruled or wide ruled? Dot paper? Calendars? If it's on paper, chances are you can find it and print it here.

https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/ - Need a good bedtime story? This site is best read right before falling asleep.

FYI: Ninite has largely been superseded by Chocolatey

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Chocolatey isn't really made for the DIYer setting up their computer for a one-off install - for that I always recommend Ninite. Chocolatey is useful for enterprises and advanced DIYers though.

I like the last one. Have you read about the penis tree?

https://thestarman.pcministry.com/ This website has very thorough information about BIOS, MBR and other topics from DOS era.

If you have a tendency to accidentally X out of your entire browser with all its tabs by an errant flick of the mouse, then this site as one of your tabs (need to click one for Chrome, as it notes) will have a popup asking if you're sure you want to close everything, letting you prevent that.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

I must clarify one thing though for anyone reading this, it sadly doesn't prevent browsers from crashing. Sorry to everyone who has Firefox or Opera as their main.
