Links

The point of the world wide web is for websites to link to other websites after all

General utility

• random.org is an online random number generator with a lot of handy randomizing features.
• PicResize.com is what I use when I don't feel like opening GIMP just to resize a picture.
• WolframAlpha is pretty useful when you have an equation you don't want to work out. It can also deal with different units and even substitute the appropriate values for "Earth diameter" if you can't be bothered to look it up yourself.

Information

• Discogs about music releases and discographies
• alldatasheet.com datasheets of semiconductor devices
• elektrotanya manuals and schematics of old consumer electronics
• hifiengine and vinylengine were great repositories of specs and manuals for old hifi. In recent years however, accessing it has become almost impossible as registering new accounts is usually disabled, existing accounts are deleted without notice (who does that!?) and entire countries are IP-blocked for extended periods. If you can still get in, please help by redistributing manuals hosted on these sites

Forums I frequent

• Tapeheads.Net a classic forum dedicated to magnetic tape recorders and any other hifi stuff
• New XKCD forums a revival of the old XKCD forums, which was one of my favonline communities until it went offline following a breach¹

Misc

• Eternal Jukebox makes any song go on indefinitely by finding places it can jump ahead or loop back seamlessly. Unfortunately the site on that link doesn't seem to work, but there are some mirrors here and here. If you use Ublock (and you should), you might need to turn it off for this.
