Reimplementation of Christian Mueller's hd-idle with some extra features.
hd-idle is a utility program for spinning-down external disks after a period of idle time. Since most external IDE disk enclosures don't support setting the IDE idle timer, a program like hd-idle is required to spin down idle disks automatically.

S.M.A.R.T.-Logo The smartmontools package contains two utility programs (smartctl and smartd) to control and monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology System (SMART) built into most modern ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS and NVMe disks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure. Smartmontools was originally derived from the Linux smartsuite package and actually supports ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS and NVMe disks and also SCSI/SAS tape devices. It should run on any modern Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin (macOS), Solaris, Windows, Cygwin, OS/2, eComStation or QNX system. Smartmontools can also be run from one of many different Live CDs/DVDs.

Browser-Based HDD/SSD Health Analysis.
Hard drives report their health using a system called S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology). You can read this data using command line tools like smartctl, but the output is often hard to read. Manufacturers store data in raw hexadecimal values. A read error rate might look like 0x00000ab42 in a terminal. This could be zero errors, or it could be thousands, depending on how Seagate, WD, or Toshiba encoded the data. This viewer attempts to decode those raw manufacturer-specific values to tell you if a "high" number is actually bad, or if it is just a routine counter.

E-ink IBM XT clone with solar power, ultra low power consumption, and ultra long battery life.
Evertop is a portable PC that emulates an IBM XT with an 80186 processor and 1MB RAM. It can run DOS, Minix, and some other old 1980s operating systems. It also runs Windows up to version 3.0. Because it's based on a powerful yet very low power microcontroller, uses an e-ink display, packs two 10,000mAh batteries, and implements extreme power saving measures, it can run for hundreds or even thousands of hours on a single charge. Combine that with its built in solar panel, and you should be able to use it indefinitely off grid without ever having to worry about battery life.
