Piracy and Torrenting

  • Soulseek music p2p file sharing, I also use Nicotine+ which just provides a better UI, but still uses soulseek under the hood. Super easy to use!
  • EasyUSSR's Beginner guide to torrenting, holds your hands and walks you through every step
  • Champagne Piracy Wiki some sites to have a look at, some info that might be useful
  • YAMS a somewhat straightforward looking automated media server that bundles things like Radarr & Sonarr. I havent tried myself but will eventually!

Interesting Sites

  • Hundred rabbitsSite about living off the grid on a boat,and also just a bunch of cool projects
  • GrimGrains, many recipes and a fantastic guide to lacto-fermentation, from the creators of hundred rabbits
  • Manchán Magan's site, a man who did so much for the current revitalisation of the Irish language and whom I will forever count amongst my heros. Please read any of his books if they sound interesting to you.
  • Well Appointed Desk a site about beautiful stationery, makes me want to start writing with a fountain pen so i can justify buying inks
  • A soft murmur Customisable ambient noises
  • Apple Rankings Personally, I never knew I had such fierce opinions about apples until I found this site.
  • Read a Little Poetry there are many poetry websites out there, but this one began its life as a personal site 20 years ago, and I'm charmed by that connecting thread
  • WikiparfumRather like fragrantica but with more modern UI and less community. Still, interesting to browse
  • Bois de Jasmin perfumery blog
  • Museu del Perfum, museum website with an online archive of perfume bottle through the ages
  • The Creative Independent many excellent articles in this "resource of emotional and practical guidance for creative people"

Grimoire

Science & Nature

Academic-ish

  • Phyto'pedia Phytoplankton Encyclopaedia Project
  • Seaweed.ie More user-friendly than most algal sites, and includes easy to understand info on seaweeds commonly found on Irish shores
  • Algaebase - global algal database of taxonomic, nomenclatural and distributional information. Also, some fantastic pictures.
  • Small Things Considered microbiological news and interesting articles, in bitesize easy to read posts
  • Microbiology Online this is a website hosted by the University of South Carolina and is basically just an online textbook. I guess maybe they use it for teaching? But it's freely available!
  • Kimball's Biology Pages rabbit hole website for sure, essentially a sprawling biology textbook.
  • Naturalis' Birds of Europe hosted by Naturalis Biodiversity Center, includes all the info you'd need for identifying birds in Europe. If you click menu -> species, then you get an entire list of birds, with illustrations & info.

Less academic-ish

  • DinoFish, learn about my favourite fish of all time
  • iNaturalist A great place to find the answer to important questions, like "what's that bug?"
  • 100,000 stars Explore the universe, learn some facts about stars
  • The Microbe Zoo I think this was last updated in 2000, but still a very cool little site for Microbe Fun Facts
  • MicrobeHunter, a blog for amateur microscopists
  • Fathomverse the best app in the world - goodbye doomscrolling, hello learning about deep sea creatures and genuinely helping marine scientists
  • Fish sounds - fish make sounds!! Listen to them here!
  • BirdFact a bird reference site that you can filter by country, with a bird identification guide
  • Visdeurbel every March you can help some Dutch fish get where they need to go by opening the door for them!
  • Utah Genetics lots of accessibly written info on biological concepts and also cute, flash-type, incredibly 2003 interactive sections such as the virtual labs, that take you through lab techniques or explain concepts. I think this is so cool, it's so early 2000's and its the kind of thing 10yr old me woulda lost her mind over.
  • Oceana's Marine Encyclopedia, learn some facts about some fish (and mammals and rays and sharks and birds and-)
  • Zooniverse, a platform where you can volunteer to help with research projects. Lots of things like classification, digitisation, and data input.
