I should take advantage of this tread
not that useful but cute: https://http.cat/ and https://http.dog/ give cute pictures to http error codes like 404: file not found or (the better one) 418: im a teapod
When i dont know what an errer code means i often put http.gat/{errorcode} and then i am pleased because of insight and cat- https://haveibeenpwned.com/ is very useful, it takes a few seconds for you to check if some accounts got found in public breaches
I was looking for an old show I saw back in 2000’s to see if any streaming platforms had it, low and behold someone had archived the VHS version of the show! The quality obviously wasn’t HD but it was good enough to still watch and reminisce.
Linux, torrents, youtube (if you use a account-less frontend), Wikipedia.
Ad blockers
For Safari on macOS, iOS I recommend 1Blocker.
Harvard just released a free civics course. I’ve been looking into starting that.
Your question’s answer is encapsulated to a high degree here:
Been using this list of free websites and resources for a while:
- Comics on the second page.
The services of your local library. Sign up and use them, and get your friends & family on too because the more regular users and the more people aware of their services, the harder they are for politicians to take away or slash the budget of.
Common services offered:
- Kanopy, hoopla (free TV shows and movies, similar to Netflix)
- Local/national newspapers digital versions
- PressReader for various (usually subscription-only) magazines
- ebooks and audiobooks via OverDrive/Libby, BorrowBox, hoopla, etc.
- Educational resources like language learning apps
I tried this a few days ago, but Overdrive only had 2 ‘copies’ of the 30+ year old novel I wanted and the waitlist was 10 weeks so I added another “Fuck capitalism for…” to my list.
The Pirate Bay ;)
Not really „free“ but „mostly free“: Each week you can get a different game from the Epic game store

I read through the website, but I don’t understand how this is helpful. Is it so that people can avoid driving past them, changing their route each time one is added?
Presumably so the people can dismantle the surveillance capabilities of a government turned fascist.
Through vandalism?
By any means necessary
You speak like that’s a bad thing.
I literally did not.
Oh goody then

As far as what I understand you are saying…
these are free solar panels and cameras?
Global communication.
Infinite knowledge.
Can we apply some of both of those to narrow down to a few recommendations? 😁
