Useful Links - Sat, Mar 30, 2024
!!! Phinster approved !!!
Here is just a fun alphabetical list collection of various links and software that are free (unless otherwise stated) that I find to be useful. Each link has a little description as to how it is useful. I plan on adding some method to contact me easily if anyone has any recommendations.
Free
Websites
- Annas Archive : Another sailing tool. Good for research.
- archive.today : Want to go sailing for news articles? (Site may not match link — Mirrors).
- ChatCrypt : No Registration E2EE chat room. Secure messaging.
- Jump Chat : Quick No BS chatroom. No Zoom popups and garbage.
- m0nkrus : For those who like to sail. Quite possibly the scariest thing I have seen. Not for the faint of heart!
- PDF24 : Tired of online pdf tools bombarding with ads? PDF24 can actually do things.
- skiplagged : The best airline prices. Were sued by American Airlines. You get off at layovers, so no luggage, only backpack/carry-on. Don’t do it too much, might get banned from airlines.
- WatchCount : Weird website — Tells you how old an eBay list is and how many people are watching it. Good for figuring out how much leverage you have on a seller for best offers.
- Yandex : Good search engine for finding what you actually want.
Software
Windows
- Capture 2 Text : Win Q -> OCR selcted area. Simple and no BS
Paid
Software
- Cold Turkey : Both for Mac and Windows, simple and effective blocker/time limiter. Has features such as schedules and needing to type X amount of words to unlock something. Very reasonable 1-time purchase fee.
