Web Links
I started this circa. end of October 2019 and have been slowly adding to it ever since. The links are of various topics.
FAQ
.. just to get it out of the way: If you like the list and want to contribute or something then email me them at num@privatevoid.net! Please do NOT try and sell me something or get an advertisement; this has happened before.
NOTE: Sites may go down. If so then head to archive.org and try looking them up there. Sometimes it works, sometimes they aren’t archived.
Links will all open in a seperate window/tab based on browser settings.
