To figure out if your email addresses are part of a known breach. Also, start using a password manager (https://bitwarden.com)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A good alternative to Bitwarden is KeePass/KeepassXC btw

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hm i switched from KeePass to Bitwarden because the latter lets me use my passwords on multiple devices and as a Firefox extension that enters my credentials at a shortcut.

Can you elaborate why you think KeePass is better?

It's basically CHATGPT but with actual connection to the internet (so it gets its data from actual websites) and is also specifically designed for developers.

https://privacy.com/ I've been using them for around 6 years now.

They link up with your bank account and generate as many virtual cards as you want that are locked to the first vendor you use them on so if say McDonald's get their card data stolen it won't be able to charge the card for anything other than McDonald's.

They also make their money from the card fees so they manage to be both free and not sell your data.

https://en.wiktionary.org

Yes, I know. Everyone knows about wiktionary but I cannot get over how english wiktionary is better finnish dictionary than finnish wiktionary. And english wiktionary has all the languages usually.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I see Wiktionary, I upvote. As a linguistics student I hail Wiktionary as a God, the etymologies and some of the IPA transcriptions have done a lot for me

It plots every genre of music on a 2D spectrum ("The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.")

You can click on any genre and get band recommendations.

Or you can search for a specific band and find other bands plotted similarly.

Maybe this will help.

I LOVE "dissolved girl" but I'm not as Gaga about the rest of the band's material. That sultry style cut with that music tempo is amazing.

It's like Finger Eleven has their their one massive departure track 'paranoid' -- all good, but very different.

I'll be checking this in the hopes it'll match a track and give me more sexy molasses for my brain.

As someone who doesn't use Spotify, this is amazing for music discovery. I should have been in bed a while ago but keep finding new groups to listen to.

I like to plan ahead and after posting my info in the website https://www.death-clock.org/ it scared me into changing my eating habits.

Without endorsing these liberal American news outlets,

Ad-free, js-free, tracker-free, bs-free news articles. Just text. Honestly, it's a bit of a shock to me that these even exist.
