I use DDG everywhere except at work, where (for some reason) it's blocked.

The one silly thing I miss about not having DDG at work: in DDG, I can type "new guid" and it gives me a new random guid. If there's a way to do that in Google, I haven't figured it out. (And yes I know there are a million other ways to get random guids. It's just convenient for me to get them this way.)

Hey Andy,

Do you know what firewall system your work uses? We were blocked in a few of them but found that reaching out to those companies got it fixed.

Would be happy to help investigate!

Recently needed random whole numbers from varying ranges. First looked up "random number generator" and got onto some sophisticated webpage where you could define your own set of items to be choosing at random from and have it list out ten thousand random results and so on. Really, everything you could wish for, but it was clunky as hell for varying ranges.

Then I decided to just look up "random 1 5", so that maybe a webpage which could deal well with intervals would show up. And there it was, DuckDuckGo understood immediately what I wanted and just generated one as an Instant Answer. Changing the interval was a matter of changing those two numbers in the query and getting the next random number worked with F5. Could not have wished for a better tool for the job.

Also if you search "library genesis" it will include library genesis in the results.

Have you tried using something like "uuidgen | pbcopy" from your command line?
