Welcome to the STD.ROCKS website

Welcome to std.rocks, the website for rock 'n' roll music/(noise) and tux (computing)! Here, I'll be sharing computer tutorials and demos from the last but greatest rock band on planet earth (and possibly in the entire galaxy) since the Jonas Brothers.

I'm just an alien, so expect some mistakes in my English mistakes. Don't hesitate to contact me (my email, if you're good64 enough to decode it: c2hlYmFuZ3RoZWRvbHBoaW5zQHByb3Rvbm1haWwuY29tCg==), to correct them or just to say hi! 🤗

For a French version of this website, click here 🇫🇷.

STD.ROCKS is:
- The fastest website in the world (source: ~~myself~~ https://developers.google.com/speed/ ) ✅
- The last popup-free website (I don't even know how to code them) ✅
- The one and only website without any advertising (uBlock Origin can take a nap here) ✅
- The most html-compliant website (regularly, and when I think of it, tested with https://validator.w3.org) ✅

I've updated my Firefox addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/) the famous “stip”, to version 2 to solve the problem of the No IP Address message, and it now uses my own API to get the IP addresses.
I get this message when using the function eth.estimate_gas of the web3.py Python library: ValueError: {'code': -32602, 'message': 'too many arguments, want at most 1'}
- After investigating, I was able to solve the problem by changing the HTTP provider, and updated my python web3 tutorial

My notes about how to harden the Microsoft Windows systems.
Following the recommendations of https://validator.w3.org/ I cleaned up the Self-closing tags :

IFS=$'\n';

#Replace <br /> to <br>
sed -i 's|<br />|<br>|' *.html

for FILE in *html;
do
	#get the line number of the <head> tag
	LINE_START=$(cat -n $FILE | grep '<head>' | awk '{ print $1 }')
	#get the line number of the </head> tag
	LINE_END=$(cat -n $FILE | grep '</head>' | awk '{ print $1 }')

	#for each line between <head> and </head>
	for i in $(sed -n ${LINE_START},${LINE_END}p $FILE);
	do
		#Replace /> by > in the current line and put result in a RESULT variable
		RESULT=$(echo "$i" | sed  "s|[ ]\?/>|>|")
		#Edit current file and replace current line by RESULT variable
		sed -i "s|"$i"|$RESULT|" "$FILE"
	done
	
	
	#get the line number of the <div id="corps"> tag
	LINE_START=$(cat -n $FILE | grep '<div id="corps">'| awk '{ print $1 }')
	#get the line number of the <div class="menu_mobiles_bottom"> tag
	LINE_END=$(cat -n $FILE | grep '<div class="menu_mobiles_bottom">' | awk '{ print $1 }')

	#for all lines that contain the term <img between
	#<div id="corps"> and <div class="menu_mobiles_bottom"> tags
	for i in $(sed -n ${LINE_START},${LINE_END}p $FILE | grep "<img");
	do
		#Replace /> by > in the current line and put result in a RESULT variable
		RESULT=$(echo "$i" | sed "s|[ ]\?/>$|>|")
		#Edit current file and replace current line by RESULT variable
		sed -i "s+"$i"+$RESULT+" "$FILE"
	done
done
