University of Oregon Route Views Project
The University's Route Views project was originally conceived as a tool for Internet operators to obtain real-time BGP information about the global routing system from the perspectives of several different backbones and locations around the Internet. Although other tools handle related tasks, such as the various Looking Glass Collections (see e.g. TRACEROUTE.ORG), they typically either provide only a constrained view of the routing system (e.g., either a single provider, or the route server) or they do not provide real-time access to routing data.
While the Route Views project was originally motivated by interest on the part of operators in determining how the global routing system viewed their prefixes and/or AS space, there have been many other interesting uses of this Route Views data. For example, NLANR has used Route Views data for AS path visualization and to study IPv4 address space utilization (archive). Others have used Route Views data to map IP addresses to origin AS for various topological studies. CAIDA has used it in conjunction with the NetGeo database in generating geographic locations for hosts, functionality that both CoralReef and the Skitter project support.
PowerOutage.us is an ongoing project created to track, record, and aggregate power outages across the United States. This site has tracked some major events, including hurricanes, grid failures, and other weather events. You can view some detailed information about them here.

Data is updated site wide approximately every ten minutes.
They have a REST API but there is no free tier.
An interactive list of ciphersuite configurations that can be searched, sorted, and queried. The link bookmarked is a best practice set, from strongest to least trustworthy cryptosystems.
RecoverPy is a powerful tool that leverages your system capabilities to recover lost files. Unlike others, you can not only recover deleted files but also overwritten data. Every block of your partition will be scanned. You can even find a string in binary files. Uses grep, dd, and lsblk. Interactive.
In the AUR.
Scripts and stuff for manipulating the json files generated by FlightAware's version of dump1090. Mostly command line and ncurses.
A small but highly customisable site template, ideal for a project documentation homepage.
Might be addable to my website's theme.
A Python module that makes it easy to build interactive text-mode interfaces. Question/answer (or stimulus/response) structure. Has different terminal widgets (text entry, password text entry, y/n, cursoring around with arrow keys, etc) for different kinds of questions.
Resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes. Full mouse support, all buttons with a highlighted key is clickable and mouse scroll works in process list and menu boxes. Autoscaling graphs. Everything is text mode. Skinnable.
Magicmirror is a software package for, well, making one of those nifty RaspberryPi magic mirrors that people seem to like building for their houses. Modular; turn on the bits you want, turn off the bits you don't.
Of course, the damned thing uses Electron.
The Internet Weather Map™ (IWM) is a free service that maps latency on the Internet. As an Open Community project, it uses data from volunteers all over the world to feed back latency on the Internet into a central database. Then that data is aggregated, and displayed in table and map formats, allowing you to see how the fast sections of the Internet are running. While it practically not possible to map out every segment of the entire Internet, the IWM product traces tens of thousands of segments to give you an informed idea as to it's overall latency.
The Latency Map is the heart of the service, which displays a map of any delays on the Internet, as well as in a table format. While the table displays the slowest segments, the map normally only displays delays (latency over 300ms). The data on this tab will refresh every 60 seconds, so there is no need to re-load the page manually.
Tools allows you get information on your domain name, including an MX Record Lookup, and some additional diagnostics.
A remarkably streamlined and simple to use system for using AI and ML models to interact with data. Build interactive data analyses with just a very little code. The demo shows most of everything you need to be productive. Hot reloading; change some of the Python code in your research script, the display updates. Don't need to mess with HTML and Javascript, just a text editor and a web browser.
An interactive explorer of the disassemblies of the BASIC ROMs and kernels for the various versions of the Commodore 64. Each ROM is disassembled and lined up side by side so you can see what's different between versions and hardware releases.
Open source machine learning and data visualization for novice and expert. Interactive data analysis workflows with a large toolbox. Perform simple data analysis with clever data visualization. Explore statistical distributions, box plots and scatter plots, or dive deeper with decision trees, hierarchical clustering, heatmaps, MDS and linear projections. Interactive data exploration. Add-ons available.
An interactive map of ham radio repeaters around the world, searchable by callsign, coordinates, tags, state, or relative directions.
An interactive map of the submarine telecommunications cables which form the inter-continental links of the Internet.
An interactive database of amateur radio repeaters around the country. You can search by state, by zip code, or browse by state and city. Seems pretty comprehensive.
A shell which acts as a better interactive Python interpreter than the standard Python environment. iPython is designed more for experimentation and playing with ideas prior to implementation than it is for actually developing code. It also supports being embedded in other software for the purpose of extensibility. It even makes it easy to prototype and test GUIs written in Python.
Twine is a tool for building interactive, nonlinear stories that are implemented as web pages. It uses a combination of a graphical editor (which lets you create discrete passages and hook them together (it also generates flowchart-like graphs of passages to help you keep track of the structure)) and an HTML compiler on the back end. Includes a simple scripting language to add state and conditionality to the story. If you can write a couple of pages, you can build interactive fiction that you can play in a web browser with this tool. Uses Tiddlywiki-like markup syntax.
William Gibson's self-destructing work Agrippa has been reconstructed from one of the original diskettes (it was never actually released) and put online as a simulation.
