Developer Tools

Developer tools and calculators for networking, text encoding, color conversion, hashing, regex testing, and system administration.

Networking, encoding, hashing, rate limits and outage cost. 8 tools for developers and system administrators. Algorithms and complexity sit under Computer Science.

IP subnet is the one people reach for most, and it rewards understanding rather than memorising. An IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) address is 32 bits split into a network part and a host part, and subnetting is nothing more than choosing where to make that cut. CIDR notation writes the cut as a slash and the number of network bits, so a /24 leaves 8 host bits, which is 256 addresses and 254 usable ones once the network and broadcast addresses are taken out. The dotted mask carries exactly the same information in a different shape.

Downtime cost estimates the direct revenue loss only, and the page says so plainly. Churn, engineering response at premium rates, support volume for weeks afterwards and reputational damage are all real, and none of them are in the number. Full cost typically runs two to five times the direct figure.

The hashing and encoding tools run entirely in your browser. Nothing you paste in leaves the page.
