how do you all remember every UUID? I find it really hard. so I wrote them all down over at everyuuid.com

the list has fast search across all 2^122 values (so you can find your favorites) - hoping to add some social features like "trending UUIDs" soon!

I couldn't remember every UUID so I wrote them all down

@eieio

Which UUID is your favorite?

@eieio You might want some kind of documentation for idiots who find this and think it's related to their data, e.g. following a breach.

@eieio @catsalad Kinda handy for picking out vanity UUIDs but then that would make them more sought after and no longer Unique. Fun though.

Can we possibly have this as an Anki deck download? It would really help with my memorization efforts.

@eieio Great. My banking PIN is a UUID, and seeing it in that list makes me reconsider. Should I use a MVUID (metaversally unique identifier) instead?

@sillygwailo Ah bummer, if you post all your passwords I can make sure they get redacted!

but yeah, maybe now that we've got this list folks should consider MVUIDs, at least until the UUID spec makes sure to reserve some UUIDs for personal use

@eieio 👋 for transforming sequential integers into into random-looking non-repeating integers the modulo multiplicative inverse could prove useful https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_multiplicative_inverse not as fun as your cipher but
