DeepL, easily the best machine translation service around. Can really only be beaten with a domain-specific fine-tuned model which takes way more effort.
SVG Repo, a collection of 500,000+ free SVG icons. Most can be used in commercial products.

Pirateship is a bit faster, higher quality and most importantly cheaper, especially for shipments from usa to europe (1.5 - 2 times cheaper than parselmonkey). There is also such a service as sendle, the price of shipments +- the same as pirateship

I will also add labels.vc (all functions are opened after registration) - usps priority shipping labels for 6$, it will suit those who trade on ebay, amazon etc in bulk.

The service is almost too good to be true.

really good if you like getting nothing but ads, bots, no relevant job results, and a $500/mo subscription service that does nothing

I don't know, like once a week I browse Linkedin just to have a laugh about some "influencers" there. It's not much, but if I have nothing else to do, it keeps me busy for a morning or so.

https://pdfcoffee.com/ and https://www.scribd.com/home for pdfs for tabletop games, art books etc. that don't find their way onto libgen or annas-archive. Scribd registration requirement can be bypassed with third party downloader.

Not as useful at the title suggests though

Preemptive warning: This is peer-to-peer meaning you should use a VPN if you live in a country that cares about piracy
Anytime I've been looking for some obscure (game)book etc., I've found it on the soulseek network. There's an open source client for it:

One of my professors back in Uni taught us about this place so we could download his own peer-reviewed articles (among others). The whole business of paying for access to these papers is practically a grift since the authors themselves get absolute fuck all most of the time - but they're essentially forced into it for their research to have any credibility.

Not sure about credibility but certainly funding.
