# Adblocking

Hide/Reveal Tip

Don't run multiple general adblockers (e.g., uBlock Origin and AdGuard) simultaneously to avoid breakage.
Combining general adblockers with tools like SponsorBlock is fine.

Hide/Reveal Tip

If your goal is to block browser ads, it's best to just stick with uBlock Origin, as additional filters can cause conflicts or anti-adblock.

## Email Aliasing

Hide/Reveal Tip

Some sites provide catch-all aliases like @username.anonaddy.com, which are technically unlimited as anything before the @ will redirect to your forwarding address, but the alias contains a unique subdomain which may be linked to your identity. For more privacy, prefer shared aliases like x481n904@anonaddy.me which are usually randomly generated for you and the domain is shared by all users of the site so it becomes harder to tie it to your identity.

## Email Clients

For details about tags, see Read more below.

Read more Column Definitions (left to right):
  • Gmail, etc. Support Status
  • Email Address Lifespan
  • Email Messages Lifespan
  • Number of Domains Available.
Additional Details:
    Some services (ironically) let you keep generated emails indefinitely, either until you delete them or by using a feature that embeds the email address in the URL. When you visit the inbox page, you can usually see this in the URL, and in some cases, you can manually insert the address/username into the URL. This means the URL can act as a permalink to that mailbox, allowing you to bookmark it for continuous access. Therefore, sites with these features are marked with 'Forever' in the address lifespan column.

# File Hosting

Hide/Reveal Tip

Keep in mind that it's never a good idea to upload personal or confidential files to any file host, even if they claim to be encrypted. Most file hosts only remove files after inactivity, while some delete them regardless. Check each host if you're concerned about file expiry.
Tags are: Total Storage (x days w/ acc) / Max File Size / File Expiry (x days w/ acc) / Signup Requirements.

## Image Hosting

## Video Hosting

Hide/Reveal Tip

Most file hosts remove files after inactivity, while some delete them regardless. Check each host if you're concerned about file expiry.

Make sure to install an adblocker, and use throwaway emails or aliases when signing up for sites. Try a VPN if sites are blocked. And redirect bypassers to skip link shorteners.

## Gaming Repacks

Hide/Reveal Tip

Repacks are compressed versions of games that exchange smaller downloads for longer installation times. Good if you have low bandwidth or data limits.

# Generative A.I. / A.I. Chatbots

Hide/Reveal Tip

It's never a good idea to upload anything personal or confidential to cloud-based AIs, as many of them use your prompts for data collection or training purposes. If you want privacy, it's best to run LLMs locally. If a site does not state that sign-up is required, you can still use it without logging in, but you will face stricter limits and have access to fewer models.

Hide/Reveal Tip

Outside of WARP it's generally best to use a paid VPN, especially if you have privacy or speed in mind.
Free VPNs are mostly useful for things like unblocking websites.
Remember to bind your VPN to your client to avoid ISP letters.

# About

A Hidden Gemmy Index is part of the hetroweb space, initiated and solely maintained by heterochrome at the moment.
Majority of the entries here are possible thanks to the FMHY.NET's catalogue and many others through the word of mouth. Every entry taken from FMHY.NET verbatim is assigned with this legend .
Its purpose is indexing and bookmarking sites we found useful, free or otherwise.

## Current Objectives:

Currently, the Index is importing and sourcing entries from FMHY.NET for aggregation purposes.
We are currently finding ways to allow people to give feedback and/or contribute to this page. Stay tuned.

# How-To's

# Tags in the navigation bar to find categories you're looking for.
CTRL + F / CMD + F to quickly find specific terms on the page.
Always hover over links before clicking, make sure they look safe and lead where you expect. While the risk here is close to zero, it's still good practice to stay cautious.
