Most APIs are undocumented and hidden in plain sight. Being able to find these APIs can provide a rich, reliable, and scalable method of building your own datasets. Learn how to find them in the wild, and how they’ve been used in past investigations.
In the spirit of Feynman's immortal words, the goal of this project is to better understand the internals of databases by implementing a relational database management system (RDBMS) (sqlite clone) from scratch.
This project was motivated by a desire to: 1) understand databases more deeply and 2) work on a fun project. These dual goals led to a:
- relatively simple code base
- relatively complete RDBMS implementation
- written in pure python
- No build step
- zero configuration
- configuration can be overridden
This makes the learndb codebase great for tinkering with. But the product has some key limitations that means it shouldn't be used as an actual storage solution.

FFmpeg is a powerful tool for manipulating audiovisual files. Unfortunately, it also has a steep learning curve, especially for users unfamiliar with a command line interface. This app helps users through the command generation process so that more people can reap the benefits of FFmpeg.
Each button displays helpful information about how to perform a wide variety of tasks using FFmpeg. To use this site, click on the task you would like to perform. A new window will open up with a sample command and a description of how that command works. You can copy this command and understand how the command works with a breakdown of each of the flags.
The synthio module has been part of CircuitPython since 8.2.0-beta0 and is under development. It can drive up to 12 wavetable oscillators simultaneously (polyphonic synthesis), in stereo, 16 bits of resolution, at adjustable sample rates.
This repo is a document of tips and tricks for using synthio.
This guide is meant for advanced users who wants to get rid off Windows 11's bloatware and telemetry. Last tested on Windows 11 22000.376. Gets rid of bloatware. Disables most of the telemetry. Better performance. Optimizes Windows 11 for gaming as well as productivity. Strips Windows 11 to barebones (In Advanced removal below). Unfortunately, it also breaks Sysprep and the sfc/scannow commands.

Shout Your Abortion is normalizing abortion and elevating safe paths to access, regardless of legality. SYA makes resources, campaigns, and media intended to arm existing activists, create new ones, and foster collective participation in abortion access all over the country.

Given the shifting state of the law, people seeking an abortion, or any kind of reproductive healthcare that might end with the termination of a pregnancy, may need to pay close attention to their digital privacy and security. We've previously covered how those involved in the abortion access movement can keep themselves and their communities safe. We've also laid out a principled guide for platforms to respect user privacy and rights to bodily autonomy. This post is a guide specifically for anyone seeking an abortion and worried about their digital privacy. There is a lot of crossover with the tips outlined in the previously mentioned guides; many tips bear repeating.
