launched a startup as a joke on linkedin.
it offers UUIDs as a service. yes, really.

https://uuid.php.fail

you get:

/v1 – time-based

/v4 – random

/v6 – reordered time-based

/v7 – timestamp-based

/ulid – lexicographically sortable

/ai – uuid generation using AI in the browser (needs webgpu)

open source here: https://git.hannover.ccc.de/lubiana/uuid

it’s all curlable. no auth. no tracking. no billing.
just vibes and very serious enterprise value™

@lubiana 11/10, one of the best services I ever used

@lubiana "Generation failed: WebGPU is not supported in your current environment"

What a stroke of luck!

@lubiana feature request:
/guid - where you store every uuid generated to make sure it can't ever be returned again...and also you get a nice box of things people potentially use as credentials :D
@wall_e great idea but for that i would need to add some kind of persistance to the application and i try to avoid that.
