Just what it sounds like: A big directory of different types of battery holders. Who knew that they were so involved?
AMB stands for "Ancient Machine Book". It is an extremely lightweight file format meant to store any kind of hypertext documentation that may be comfortably viewed even on the most ancient PCs: technical manuals, books, etc. Think of it as a retro equivalent of a *.CHM help file.
This web page holds the format specification, as well as reference tools to work with the format: AMB (the reader) and AMBPACK (archive packer/unpacker). All tools are published under the terms of the MIT license.
Fastfetch is a neofetch-like tool for fetching system information and displaying them in a pretty way. It is written mainly in C, with performance and customizability in mind. Currently, Linux, Android, FreeBSD, MacOS and Windows 7+ are supported.
Can be configured fairly easily if you ask it to write a config file for you. It's surprisingly flexible.
Command line tools for fetching system/other information. Operating system, kernel, CPU, GPU, memory info and more.
The metadata.json file is updated after commit. You can request this file in raw format and use it like a static API. Interesting.
HTTP encodings, headers, media types, methods, relations and status codes, all summarized and linking to their specification.
Kermit is the name of a file-transfer and -management protocol and a suite of computer programs for many types of computers that implements that protocol as well as other communication functions ranging from terminal emulation to automation of communications tasks through a high-level cross-platform scripting language. The software is transport-independent, operating over TCP/IP connections in traditional clear-text mode or secured by SSH, SSL/TLS, or Kerberos IV or V, as well as over serial-port connections, modems, and other communication methods (X.25, DECnet, various LAN protocols such as NETBIOS and LAT, parallel ports, etc, on particular platforms).
Three traditional BBS-circulated documents about the QWK format, based on reverse engineering; the official spec, excerpted from the documentation of 1stReader; and the official QWKE specification, all re-formatted with Markdown. Although I consider some of this material to be inaccurate, I’ve tried to avoid editing for content, except to remove references to web sites, boards and addresses that are no longer working.
Create an ai.txt file for your website to set permissions for text and data mining. Use the toggles to allow or block your content from being used to train AI models. By default all content is opted out. Selecting allow for any content type will let data miners know that they may use content on your website of that media type.
There is no guarantee that anybody will ever obey this, but it can't hurt to try.
The purpose of the cable wire protocol is to facilitate the members of a group chat to exchange cryptographically signed documents with each other, such as chat messages, spread across various user-defined channels.
Functional specs of M-foo hardware (M3, M4, etc). Includes thread pitch, nominal diameter, core diameter, effective diameter, and so forth.
A database of motherboards, BIOS images, chipsets, manufacturers, drivers, software. If you have an ancient PC and you're trying to figure it out, check here first.
This specification defines HyperText Markup Language as implemented in the broader diversity of web browsers, including Rhapsode, Lynx, Dillo, Netsurf, Weasyprint, etc. HTML is a language for annotating plain text with its semantic structure, and to reference related resources. HTML specifically does not dictate how its text should be presented. For the sake of rendering to a variety of devices, and to ease website authoring & maintenance.
HTMLite is meant to be loosely compatible with WHATWG's HTML specification whilst being tractible to understand and implement. Reflecting what's supported/used by most browser engines and web pages, rather than the popular few.
HTMLite is an application of XMLite, and is based fundamentally on XMLite-Model. It also defines the HTML syntax as an alternative to XMLite-Syntax.
A curated list of delightful XMPP related resources.
A script which digs up and displays lots of system configuration information, such as the specifics of the CPUs, storage devices (with identifying information) and space free, version numbers of common utilities, known hardware vulnerabilities, memory, and more. Even if you don't run it as root, you'll still get really useful information out of it.
Written in Perl but don't let that stop you.
In the AUR.
Autocrypt is a set of guidelines for developers to achieve convenient end-to-end-encryption of e-mails. It specifies how e-mail programs negotiate encryption capabilities using regular e-mails.
For users, Autocrypt Level 1 offers single-click, opt-in encryption, eases encrypted group communications, and provides a way to setup encryption on multiple devices.
A formal spec for crediting the creators and maintainers of websites.
A technical reference site that has lots of odd information, most of it PC related. Data formats, file extensions, datastructures and algorithms of sundry kinds and uses, hardware specs, microcontrollers, history, advice... there's a lot of stuff buried in here. If you need something you could do worse than check here first.
Wikipedia page for a super simple and tiny API for automatically discovering and publishing data in as easy to understand a format as possible so that the dumbest and simplest of applications can use it. Links to the spec.
