Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
i8kpretty
Summary
i8kpretty is a pretty printer for /proc/i8k. /proc/i8k is used on Dell laptops to monitor the state of the fans, among other things. However, this file has no labels for which numbers represent what information. This program parses the file and outputs a nicely formatted table containing the parsed information.
