            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

              For Safari on macOS, iOS I recommend 1Blocker.

                  Not really „free“ but „mostly free“: Each week you can get a different game from the Epic game store

                      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.

                                    Harvard just released a free civics course. I've been looking into starting that.
