12. If you build computers or work with a fresh operating system installs a lot, ninite creates a single executable that installs any number of open-source programs you choose from browsers, to chat, developer tools, and media players. Beyond handy.

15. Textbooks, novels, etc… served off the finest Russian servers. It seems to have nearly everything. I don’t think I’ve failed to find an ebook I was looking for yet on it.

16. If you search for a book title Worldcat.org will find the closest library that carries it. I was able to find an extremely obscure book at the local college, never would have thought to check there otherwise.

17. I always love the opportunity to be able to talk about http://archive.org because it is such a wonderful and free resource for so many things.

It has millions of free downloads for musicmoviesbookssoftware, etc. One very popular example is that it is home to a very large catalog of Grateful Dead recordings

There is also The Internet Arcade where you can play a lot of classic games along with the Console Living Room which is similar. They have access to tons of old PC games too and you can even play the original Oregon Trail online. There’s a lot more in their software section too.

It also has The WayBack Machine which has archived more than 624 billion web pages saved so you can go back and see how websites were years ago.

18. The https://oec.world/en shows you all the trade data in the world for imports and exports of goods, raw materials, who provides who with what. Massive amounts of data where you can see exactly what country exports what and who it goes to. Massively interesting (if you’re into that)

Came across this as me and my mates were talking about why New Zealand is expensive and what they import/export. (https://oec.world/en/profile/country/nzl)

20. Site car-part.com has full inventories and cross-reference of the 200,000 largest junkyards in North America.

I made a living out of there as a parts broker for about 15 years.

No ads, there’s an app available, totally free to everybody, and the yards have to pay about $6,000 a year to enroll so there’s not even one scammer on there in my whole 25 or 30 years of doing business with these guys.

Example, $800 Volvo mirror? Found one in the right color for $75 delivered.
