Every music genre with examples.

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] subspaceinterferents@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yes, have spent many happy wasted hours here. Good for music discovery.

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

[-] glad_cat 13 points 10 months ago

The only limit is yourself.

[-] ShroOmeric@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

da fuq?!

[-] pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 11 points 10 months ago

Your first time? I'm jealous

[-] Odo@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

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

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Odo@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Oh neat. I'm glad it got updated to remove the Flash element. Breaking that site was the real tragedy of Flash's shutdown.

Movies and tv series. Automatically streams from a good source. I've had zero stuttering so far.

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 22 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Cabeza2000@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] shadowSprite@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months 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 5 points 10 months ago

This looks awesome! How is this free?

[-] bloopernova@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago

Donations of money, and time from volunteer mentors.

[-] null@slrpnk.net 4 points 10 months 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!

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

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

No, tell me more.

[-] morethanevil@lemmy.fedifriends.social 32 points 10 months ago

2 useful sites

Crontab Generator

Systemd Generator

I think they are very helpful ☺️

[-] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 8 points 10 months 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.

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 10 months ago

You had me at apolitical.

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

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!

[-] user224 9 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] morethanevil@lemmy.fedifriends.social 16 points 10 months ago

We all already know about cute hamster videos 😸

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Granixo@feddit.cl 11 points 10 months ago

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

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I am a fan of culture...

[-] TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

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

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