Compression is now so advanced, we can browse web pages weighing over 340 undecillion bytes.

We truly live in an age of wonders.

Nice. I’ve added a few favourites just to keep track of them, you never know! It would be great if there was an API because I’m working on an UI that needs UUID autocomplete. Thank you!

They should set up a reservation database and sell vanity UUIDs for trendy LA people

This is excellent.

I'm going to take this one if no one minds, please select something else for your purposes.

This is funny I like it. Basically just captures the scroll input and iterates through int128s and their UUIDs on a static page to fake a scroll. My feature request would be to add smooth scrolling.

And support autoscroll too, if possible (where you click middle mouse to scroll)

Typical, I'm always late and the good ones are already taken

reminds me of https://libraryofbabel.info/ (which seems to be down at the moment try Archive https://web.archive.org/web/20241112121646/https://libraryof...).

It's a fun implementation inspired by the short story https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel and "At present it contains all possible pages of 3200 characters," though the character set is limited (no dash) so you won't find these UUIDs there.

I am pretty sure this sets a new record for highest Weissman score

Sometimes I feel bad when I generate a UUID without using it for anything. Like I've wasted it.

You're not the only one who feels this way: https://wasteaguid.info/

Seems like some hacker leaked all UUIDs. Check if your UUIDs are part of the leak.

Wait till someone files a CVE
