    Very few pictures exist simply because ISS is not equipped to take pictures of outer space. Most of outer space would be empty blackness. You might have better luck finding pictures from Hubble...

    You might have better luck finding pictures from Hubble telescope which is at similar attitude than ISS and it would have much better image quality.

    Can't believe (Shattered) Pixel Dungeon hasn't been recommended here yet. It's a turn based roguelike dungeon crawler. You can save/quit anytime and doesn't need full attention to play the game.

    I usually go through a Jon Hopkins album like Singularity or Immunity to test my new speakers or dac. It is very well mastered and has multiple layers.

    FLAC/ALAC format is enough for most use case. If I really want to nitpick and push it to the limit (testing monitors frequency response and precision), I might use TR24.

    Keepass has Totp plug-in and keepassxc support totp natively. Both are open source. Again, it is not recommended to store both your password and totp to the same database like u/Aldehyde mentioned.

    The pulse reader on cardio machines are simply awful. Not only they are inaccurate at best, they are also a common point of failure. Once they break, there’s no cheap way to fix/replace them.

    Have you tried wikidot for dark souls 3? It’s my favourite wiki for souls series. Unfortunately, wikidot never took off for elden ring.

    Keepass(xc) might suit your need. It has folder and hierarchy and recently added support for tagging. Only downside I see would be unnecessarily huge file due to encryption and slower opening speed depending on the complexity of the algorithm. Have you ever tried it?
