To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original Ghost In The Shell movie from 1995, I wrote some code which recreates the opening credits for any arbitrary text. Specifically, I mean the original 1995 credits, not the updated "Version 2.0" from 2008, which are far less interesting. There's a lot going on in the credits, which I'll try to explain. If you want to skip straight to using the scripts, full instructions for installation and use are below.

This tool converts MS-DOS text files using ANSI.SYS escape sequences to a format a modern terminal can display. The output will use a Unicode encoding of characters and only ANSI SGR escape sequences to set basic foreground and background colors, intensity and blinking attribute. The input is expected to use CP-437 or one of the other supported DOS codepages.
The builtin translation tables attempt to match the appearance on VGA as close as possible by default. For example, unused codepoints are mapped to U+25AE (Black Vertical Rectangle), because scans of old Microsoft documents show a glyph resembling this. This is also relevant for e.g. arabic letters that have many different forms; they are translated to unicode codepoints denoting the "isolated" form, because this was the only way they could be displayed in text mode.
As a consequence, this default mode isn't well-suited for converting arabic text. There's a flag (-X) to disable this behavior and use canonic mappings instead, which is also a good idea when using a font reproducing the original IBM character set glyphs.
We believe you have the right to control your data, devices, and services. We coordinate, develop and foster communities of Reclaimers who want digital independence. Together, we reclaim the right to a technical future of data sovereignty, digital autonomy, responsible governance, and collective care online for all.
We are a growing grassroots movement, a 501c3 seeking to help us all reclaim control over the technologies, devices, and services that dominate our lives. We love technology. But today's tools are not delivering a faster, more efficient and reliable automated future; instead they trap us in products that can feel impossible to exit or change. We believe it should be easier to leave the platforms that no longer serve us or our communities, our neighborhood businesses and our governments, to find replacements that do not compromise our connections and do so feeling empowered, not isolated!
We are building a community to connect each other with better technology, better systems, and more control as you make the transition to a different digital world, amid like-minded people seeking independence. We don't want tools that exploit us, mine us, and prey on our weaknesses. Instead we embrace tools that support our strength, resilience, and power.
We know there should be a huge number of black holes out there orbiting companion stars or just drifting alone through the cosmos. Lensing is one of the best (and only) ways for us to find them, but we need the help of citizen scientists.
Many astronomers believe that the Milky Way is teeming with black holes, but so far we have only found a handful. In this project you will search for tell-tale signals that may reveal the hidden black holes in our galaxy.

This is a list of every freely available Window Manager I'm aware of (roughly 180 in 2011, 279 in 2025-01). X Window Managers are a dying breed in 2025 as most Linux distros are moving to Wayland. New testing/alpha/beta versions won't be listed when a stable version is available. You can sort the table on a particular field by clicking on the header row (should work in any browser).

Wayback is an experimental X compatibility layer which allows for running full X desktop environments using Wayland components. It is essentially a stub compositor which provides just enough Wayland capabilities to host a rootful Xwayland server.
It is intended to eventually replace the classic X.org server in Alpine, thus reducing maintenance burden of X applications in Alpine, but a lot of work needs to be done first.
Wayback is an experimental state: expect breaking changes, and lots of bugs. Please submit pull requests fixing bugs instead of bug reports if you are able.
OpenTopoMap is a free topographic map generated from OpenStreetMap and SRTM elevation data . The map style is based on official maps and focuses on good readability through high contrast and balanced symbols.
The site is in German though machine translation does a decent job.
ANeko Reborn is a modern version of the classic ANeko app. It features a cute cat animation that follows your finger on the Android screen, inspired by apps like nekoDA, xneko, oneko, and more. This version is built for modern Android devices with better performance and compatibility.
The kitty chases your finger around on the screen.
A simple static site generator written in Bash. Processes Markdown files and builds a minimal, accessible website suitable for personal journals, daily writing, or introspective personal newspapers. Started in 2015 by Stefano Marinelli as a personal project and maintained privately for many years, it has grown to become what is likely the largest static site generator written in Bash. Customizable URLs. Generates menus based on pages, distinguishing primary/secondary pages (via secondary: true). Creates a separate pages.html index for secondary pages. Automatically creates tag index pages and archives by year and month (optional) for easy browsing. Generates sitemap.xml and RSS feed (with timezone support) for content discovery and syndication. Test your site locally with the integrated development server that automatically adjusts URLs for local preview.
Has a modern, Ghost-like, browser-based editor with live preview, auto-save, Unsplash integration, and offline capability if writing raw Markdown isn't an option. Looking at the demo page it looks like the editor is just some hand written Javascript in an HTML file (bssg-editor.html), which I think you could break out and self host if you wanted. Choose from over 50 built-in themes including modern, retro computing, OS-inspired, and more; they seem to be just single CSS files.
setigen is a Python library for generating and injecting artificial narrow-band signals into radio frequency data, by way of data formats used extensively by the Breakthrough Listen (BL) team @ Berkeley.
The main module of setigen is based on creating synthetic spectrogram (dynamic spectra) data, showing intensity as a function of time and frequency. Observational data saved in filterbank files can be loaded into setigen, and synthetic signals can be easily injected on top and saved out to file. setigen works well with file handling via BL's blimpy package.
The setigen.voltage module enables the synthesis of GUPPI RAW files via synthetic real voltage “observations” and a software signal processing pipeline that implements a polyphase filterbank, mirroring actual BL hardware. The voltage module supports single and multi-antenna RAW files, and can be GPU accelerated via CuPy.
This package provides scripts to interface with the RTL-SDR to automate measurements for measuring the hydrogen line.
Data and plots are automatically stored in your home directory under ~/.hydrogenline. It consists of a settings file settings.json and the averaged spectra under [folder]/data/YYYMMDD_HH_MM_SS.npy.
There are several scripts available as CLI executables. In order to use them, you will have to activate the virtual environment, if you used the installation method above. These scripts include a manual which can be accessed by passing the -h argument. The scripts available as CLI executables:
- reference: capture a reference measurement of the receiver.
- capture: captures samples repeatedly from the RTL-SDR, calculates and averages the PSD, and stores them.
- waterfall: creates a waterfall plot of the measured PSDs.
- spectra: create PSD plots of all measurements.
