Unix History Repository

The goal of this project is to create a git repository representing the Unix source code history, starting from the 1970s and ending in the modern time. To fulfill this goal the project brings data from early snapshots, repositories, and primary research. The project aims to put in the repository as much metadata as possible, allowing the automated analysis of Unix history.

Created by Diomidis Spinellis.

MTKBabel is a Perl program to operate the i-Blue 747 GPS data logger. It should work also with other GPS devices based on the MediaTek MTK chipset. Starting with version 0.7 it offers also support for the Holux M-241 data logger. It is free software released under the GPL license.

TrueCrypt will not die

TrueCrypt.ch is the gathering place for all up-to-date information.  Unfortunately TrueCrypt.org is dead. But, we (the pure-privacy people) will help organize a future.

Plan9port, a port of many Plan 9 user programs to Unix used to live on
http://swtch.com/plan9port/, but since 2014-11-17 it has been moved to this git repository.

Rtl_power is a unix-hacker's approach to the waterfall. Its unique features include:
- Unlimited frequency range. You can do the whole 1.7GHz of a dongle.
- Unlimited time. At least until you run out of disk for logging.
- Unlimited FFT bins. But in practice I don't think I've taken it above 100k bins.
- Quantitative rendering. Exact power levels are logged.
- Runs on anything. A slower computer will use less samples to keep up.
