Utility code that can extract an AppleDouble file's contents and extract the individual resources from its resource fork segment.

This is useful if you have stored Mac files on FAT32-formatted floppy disks or in macOS X ZIP archives and want to (further) extract the data from them on a non-Mac operating system.

For over 15 years we’ve turned fans into heroes as The Harry Potter Alliance. Now we’re entering a new era as Fandom Forward.

The Harry Potter Alliance was founded with a simple idea: what if fans used their passion and creativity to make the world a more loving, equitable place? That idea has driven hundreds of thousands of fan activists to do exactly that, and the world is demonstrably better for it.

But this place we’ve built? It doesn’t belong to just one fandom. No singular story can hope to represent every time, every question, or every lived experience. This movement is for anyone who believes in the power of stories and the communities that love them to change the world. It’s for everyone, and our name should reflect that. So on June 8th, 2021 we officially changed our name to Fandom Forward.

The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated an already rising tide of disinformation campaigns and fear-based, ultra conservative leaders whose message is grounded in white supremacy and oppression of people of color, women, and LGBTQIA+ people. It’s an onslaught that has led the United States and much of the world to high levels of division, disinformation, and trauma. We desperately need a revitalization of civic imagination, and we know fan activism can rise to this challenge.

Fan activism is an organizing strategy that draws parallels between beloved pop culture and real world issues of inequity to mobilize fans for social good. Fandom Forward has been a leader of the field for over 15 years, and our proven track record demonstrates the efficacy of this power-building methodology. We approach our work in three ways: providing accessible training, engaging fans in campaign experience, and building community.

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.

The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, eliminating federal protections for abortion rights and setting the stage for abortion to be banned in half of the United States.

Fuck SCOTUS. We’re doing it anyway.

Aid Access is the private initiative of Dr Rebecca Gomperts. It consists of committed team of doctors, activists and advocates for abortion rights. The purpose of the website and the service is to create social justice and improve the health status and human rights of women who do not have the possibility of accessing local abortion services.

Aid Access supports women, girls, trans men, nonbinary and all people with an unwanted pregnancy to access an abortion or miscarriage treatment. If you are healthy and less than 10 weeks pregnant depending on where you live, we can offer you different service options.

The Homestuck franchise is suffering from canon entropy, ten years later. Websites die, sources go missing, fans leave the fandom and projects are abandoned. The collapse of the MSPA forums led to the complete loss of innumerable fanworks, a cultural impact on the fandom that is still being felt years later. The wider internet is not immune to this problem, and it is likely that a significant number of fandom projects will be lost to time.

Homestuck.net aims to fix that problem and make Andrew Hussie's claim of “handing Homestuck to the fandom” literal by giving fans a safe place to host, show off and archive their projects and websites permanently, as well as offering tools and resources to help them. This project is run by conscientious and invested Homestuck fans with years of experience in archival and web hosting projects, and we'll pay the server costs forever.

Resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes. Easy to use, with a game inspired menu system. Fast and "mostly" responsive UI with UP, DOWN keys process selection. Ability to filter processes. Easy switching between sorting options. Send SIGTERM, SIGKILL, SIGINT to selected process. UI menu for changing all config file options. Auto scaling graph for network usage.

The neat thing is, it's implemented as a bunch of shell scripts. The only dependencies are bash, ps, and awk.
