If women want free penis pictures and rape threats they can visit any ‘incel’ community and state “I am a woman” then sit back and wait.

I do not recommend this.

MOOCs.

They’re free unless you want a “certificate”, which has no practical value and is mostly useful if you want to motivate yourself a bit more and want to support their business model.

Go browse Coursera and edX and learn to your heart’s content.

Also, if you’re coding, watch recordings of conferences about your programming language, e.g. CppCon/C++Now/CppNorth for C++, PyCon/PyData for Python etc…

Internet Archive - Very useful for general usage internet but not for specific needs (check fmhy).

Have I Been Pwned? - Periodically use this to check whether your email/online presence is compromised or not.

Bitwarden (or if you want to self-host it use Vaultwarden) - Personally I used this password management so I can keep my pass and you can auto generate passwords with custom parameters if needed.

Curated OSINT resources - You want to ID someone online? this resources can help you to do so, though you also need to understand the basics. It may not work if person you’re looking for does not have a much online presence.

hperrin,

If you’re not a fan of your current email provider, I’ve created one that automatically organizes your email and helps prevent spam and phishing:
