Here's one of my long time favorites:

http://textfiles.com/

Drummyralf OP ,

What a treasure trove! At first glance I love all the ASCII art. But some of the texts feel like you're browsing some old Reddit/4chan posts. Will take me a while to get through all the gems!

technomad ,

I am really happy that you appreciate it. There is so much to explore there, be careful because it's easy to lose a lot of time browsing the files. Lol

I love reading about all the old school hacking and shit. There's some genuine 'anarchist cookbook' type of stuff in there. Probably don't try any of that shit, but it's fun to read about none the less.

Rolando ,

Probably don’t try any of that shit,

Now you tell me, I just spent the last couple hours trying to get free CompuServe access.

Someone else already mentioned wiby.me, so here's something else:

https://www.arngren.net/

I have no fucking clue what this site is. I feel like it's a catalog for some Eldritch business, and that I could order literally anything I wanted from it if I could just figure out how to use it.

Drummyralf OP ,

I don't know what I'm looking at and I'm loving it.

It's like if the Craigslist guy was like "You know what, I think I'm going to open my own outdoor store". I like the little link to the page about his car. No bragging, no showing off... just a "Hey, this is my car. These are it's specifications. Check it out."

Could probably buy something from the site, and request the owner sell it to you only after going out for a beer together, and it'd probably work.

This site used to be my go to for news and technology updates.

I consider it to be the front page of all front pages.

Mostly_Gristle ,

I'm not sure if they're still around, but PostSecret and the Internet K-Hole were sites you could spend hours on.

Drummyralf OP ,

Whoah, Internet K-Hole is so cool! I love random older photographs. Good stuff!
PostSecret seems interesting too!

This game about chickens is a really fun time sink.

Got a few:

You can find A LOT of music genres here. Genres next to eachother resemble one another. Figure out what you like, and what genres are close to it. Clicking on the >> will take you to artists in this genre, or search for artists in the upper right corner and see what genre they fall under.

This one is about privacy, see what a browser can track. If you don't know much about pixeltracking, this one is a fun way to learn (and a little creepy hehe)

Create your own songs with an AI, just throw in lyrics, a genre, and you are done. A fun way to troll a friend by throwing in an old conversation

https://darknetdiaries.com/
Haven't looked into this one myself, but these are true stories on the darknet, recommended by a friend of mine.

Came here to post EveryNoise. Absolutely incredible site that just fucking WORKS. Can't believe I went as long as I did without knowing about it.

HessiaNerd ,

It's interesting. Some seriously fragmented genre names. Not sure I agree with many of them, but I always like new music discovery tools.

Thanks for the links, they're interesting.

Drummyralf OP , (edited )

Clickclickclick is such a great eye opener.
And I'll definately will spend some time searching artists I like on Everynoise.
Other two also added to my bookmarks for later viewing.
Great links!

NoTimeLeft ,

Enjoy!

Darknet Diaries is a podcast, rather than just a website. It’s not all about the darknet, he does tons of stories about internet security and penetration testing.

I have listened to every single episode. It’s EXCELLENT.

She's gone Ralf, she's gone. Let her go.

Drummyralf OP ,

I felt that in my soul.

This text-based game is fun:

Xantar ,

In the same vibe, the excellent arcanum:

Drummyralf OP ,

Oh goodness... Why did you have to introduce me to a clicker game?.
Welp, I guess I'll cancel all my appointments for the next few days.

Wiby, particularly the "surprise me" option is great for old school sites and that StumbleUpon feeling!

https://wiby.me/surprise/

Drummyralf OP ,

Ooh, that's some old school stuff!

Lemminary ,

I miss old StumbleUpon! It was great for this. Someone recently introduced me to Flashpoint Archive and I have a hunch that there's a bunch of good stuff there.

Drummyralf OP ,

Ooh yeah, the Flashpoint Archive is an amazing resource! I've dabbled in it before. Great blast from the past!

kakes ,

neal.fun definitely deserves a mention.

These games also have a similar feel:
Paper Trader
Guess The Year

Drummyralf OP ,

Welp, already spent way too much time on neal.fun! Great stuff!
