Hacking is NOT a Crime is a nonprofit organization advocating global policy reform to decriminalize hacking.
We raise awareness concerning the pejorative use of the terms "hacker" and "hacking" throughout social and political systems. Specifically, the stereotypes and narratives influencing public opinion and legislation that create a pretext for censorship, surveillance, and prosecution.
Hackers often refrain from publicly disclosing privacy violations and security vulnerabilities due to these potential consequences. This is creating an increasingly hostile digital frontier and power imbalance. Information wants to be free, but institutions benefiting from the status quo deem its public dissemination threatening and seek to control it.
We consider good-faith research and activism fundamental rights in promoting the tenets of free and equal societies. We collectively advocate the decriminalization of hacking to advance transparency and accountability from these institutions.
A somewhat silly website that talks about recently discovered 0-day vulnerabilities.

A static HTML page that takes Markdown documents and turns them into a self-hosted wiki. Ideal for taking a copy of your personal flat file wiki with you if you'll be disconnected. Can be served with something as simple as python3 -mhttp.server on your machine.
It is recommended by the developers that you download the latest release from Github and copy the contents of the dist/ folder therein to wherever you have your markdown docs stored for installation.
Snek is a tiny embeddable language targeting processors with only a few kB of flash and ram. Think of something that would have been running BASIC years ago and you'll have the idea. These processors are too small to run MicroPython.
Snek borrows semantics and syntax from python, but only provides a tiny subset of that large language. The goal is to have Snek programs able to run in a full Python (version 3) implementation so that any knowledge gained in learning Snek will transfer directly to learning Python.

tinysearch is a lightweight, fast, full-text search engine. It is designed for static websites.
tinysearch is written in Rust, and then compiled to WebAssembly to run in a browser. It can be used together with static site generators such as Jekyll, Hugo, Zola, Cobalt, or Pelican.
The test index file of my blog with around 40 posts creates a WASM payload of 99kB (49kB gzipped, 40kB brotli).
Only finds entire words. As a consequence there are no search suggestions (yet). This is a necessary tradeoff for reducing memory usage. A trie datastructure was about 10x bigger than the xor filters. New research on compact datastructures for prefix searches might lift this limitation in the future.
Since we bundle all search indices for all articles into one static binary, we recommend to only use it for small- to medium-size websites. Expect around 2 kB uncompressed per article (~1 kb compressed).
Designing with LibreOffice is not the usual death march through the menu and standard tasks. Instead, the book takes two fresh approaches to the world’s most popular free office suite.
First, it explains the importance of using styles and templates in order to use LibreOffice with the most convenience and the least effort. By taking advantage of styles and templates, you can concentrate on self-expression, rather than format. Later, as you edit, you can make changes more quickly and with more precision.
Second, it explains the basics of modern design and how to apply them in LibreOffice, expanding on the open secret that LibreOffice is as much a desktop publishing application as an office suite. It explains and illustrates the possible choices as you design, as well as the pros, cons, and considerations behind each choice — and, in some cases, what you should avoid altogether.
The result of these approaches is a unique overview of using LibreOffice. If you are a new user, the book will help you get up to speed with LibreOffice. If you have already used LibreOffice, then this book will leave you with a clearer overview of the program and its capabilities.

Unfunny emojo pack with every icon being a blobcat.
At the bottom of this file you will find a payload -- a blob of data that has been obfuscated in some way. When it is decoded correctly, the payload will turn into another text file with another puzzle. There are many puzzles wrapped inside each other, like a matryoshka doll, or the layers of an onion.
You will need to write code to do the decoding. This can be done using any programming language.
Every layer clearly explains how to decode its payload. These are puzzles with deterministic solutions, like Sudoku, not riddles. I'm a software developer, not the sphinx of Thebes.
There is a little bit of educational value in each layer. In order to progress, you will need to learn and use computery concepts like bitwise operations, encodings, cryptography, error detection, and so on.
Atkinson Hyperlegible font is named after Braille Institute founder, J. Robert Atkinson. What makes it different from traditional typography design is that it focuses on letterform distinction to increase character recognition, ultimately improving readability. We are making it free for anyone to use!
Both desktop and web fonts are included.
Inspiration for when you're stuck. Inspired by Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies.

Kind of like the whacks of Heraclitus.
Hacker | Solar is a knowledge repository on all subjects related to the practical application and praxis within the Solarpunk movement.
Solarpunk is a literary, art, and social movement that understands the current state of the world in terms of climate crisis, social & economic problems, and the state of individuals and their localized communities and seeks to demonstrate possible future scenarios that address these issues. As a social movement it seeks to find and implement localized, decentralized, and distributed solutions to various problems within our current state of being.
Elements of Solarpunk seek to implement various post-scarcity solutions including food production and distribution, water production and distribution, power production and distribution, housing and shelter, healthcare and medicine, and education.
This site contains knowledge repos and how-tos regarding these various solutions. Solutions are designed to be implemented at the individual scale using current technology, both high-tech and low-tech, that is accessible to individuals or small groups.
msync is a command line client for Mastodon (and anything else that implements the same API, including Pleroma) that works a little different. msync doesn't stay connected to the internet all the time and constantly pull new posts. Instead, it only connects when you use the msync sync command. Every other change is stored on your computer until then. You can queue up posts to send, boost, bookmark, and favorite when you're online, download posts, notifications, and bookmarks to look at offline, and do the same for as many accounts as you want.
msync currently supports queueing and sending posts, boosts, favorites, and bookmarks for any number of accounts, as well as downloading the home timeline, notifications, bookmarks, and arbitrary threads.
Lots of Pride flags as emojo.
Archives of old technical magazines and journals. Mirrors of particularly important retrotech archives.
Mirror friendly as long as you use anonymous rsync. Please note that their archive is rapidly approaching 1TB in size, so you may wish to think carefully about what you want and why.
