There's also a bunch of stuff at oldlinux.org though (obviously) all Linux-related. "A Heavily Commented Linux Kernel Source Code" is also available in English now (scroll down to the top of the change log).

If I'm understanding your comment right, you could use Calibre to do this just as easily, possibly with more information. There's no requirement to actually have a file associated with a record in Calibre, so you can add your comm

PayPal allows directly adding totp now? When I added 2fa, I had to use a python script that emulates the stupid Symantec software they were using in order to get the secret; it instead gave you a code to give the Symantec app, which prevent

I did. I abused the history API on my website when it was new, and then they went and fixed it. As it turns out, sometimes people care more about the marshmallows than they do about the fire. I don't have the website anymore, but the b
