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

      A good alternative to Bitwarden is KeePass/KeepassXC btw

        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?

          I think it’s more flexible. Also, due to the databases just being normal files you can sync them with syncthing between your devices.

          In my case I run a NAS at home on which they’re stored so I don’t need to sync them. I just open them directly from the NAS.

      Is this really that useful though?

      I pretty much just assume that I’m getting pwned regularly.

      Obviously the password manager advice is very useful.

        Is this really that useful though?

        It’s very useful if you don’t use a password manager and/or reuse passwords.

        The most useful part about it to me is the API. You can tie it in to Active Directory to blacklist all hashes that appear in any breach, plus expire/force a password change if any user on your domain uses a password that has been in a breach. It completely eliminates that vector from threat actors immediately.

        So yeah, I would call this intensely useful.

      I literally just used this site last week to set up a price alert for a purchase.

      Noticed via their chart that the item I wanted to buy (an air purifier) went on sale every few weeks from $340 to $199. I set the alert for $200, and the next day it emailed me saying the price had dropped. Saved me 140 bucks which was awesome.

      Works for Amazon.ca links as well.

      Crazy how I have a bunch of alerts set up on here, prime day started and I didn’t have a single item drop in price.

      Also I believe there is a browser plug-in for this as well to make it even easier to use.

    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.

        From the description, this site seems to either be a Spotify research project, or at least powered by Spotify data in some way. It’s not clear to me.

        Every Noise at Once is an ongoing attempt at an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 6,259 genre-shaped distinctions by Spotify as of 2023-07-12.

        Personally, I cancelled my spotify account and moved to a combination of Plex and Tidal, but this project is just too cool not to use.

      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.

    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.

      This is great. Reminds me of a late night show that used to be on in the UK featuring minimalist techno played against a backdrop of stock 60s and 70s space race footage. It was called The Trip for those that remember it.
