What tools and services are available on cable.ayra.ch?

Updated

cable.ayra.ch is a personal collection of individual tools and small web services, grouped into six categories you reach from the top navigation (Home, New Toys, Info, Security, Ext, Other, plus an About page). The site notes that it grew large enough to require splitting into categories, and that the services run independently — you often won't find a link back to the overview page. There are also two servers with different services, and a link to switch to an older directory.

How the site is organized

  • Six categories in the header: Home, New Toys, Info, Security, Ext, Other.
  • "New Toys" lists the latest things made or updated; everything there also appears in at least one other category.
  • Two servers host different services, with a link to the old directory.
  • A change log ("Latest Changes") records updates and retirements.

Examples of tools listed

The overview page shows a sample of entries with short descriptions. Practical utilities include:

Tool What it does
Apache Installer Easy-to-use installers for Apache + PHP
DOCMAC IP generator Generates DOCMAC IPv6 addresses
Image compressor Compresses images according to file size and image dimension restrictions
PDF Splitter Extracts or deletes a range of pages from a PDF
Tor client for Windows Fully automatically created Tor client installer
Wifi QR generator Generates QR codes to connect automatically to a wifi network
Windows language and encodings Lists all languages and encodings Windows knows

A separate "Stuff to play with that has no real purpose" group includes a Braille converter (encode/decode text to and from Braille), a JavaScript-only Gameboy emulator that runs in the browser, an IPoAC calculator comparing a pigeon network against a "perfect" connection, an icon renderer, image dithering, a Jeff Bezos net worth page, a MOD player with over 4000 audio files, a WebAssembly MOD player, and a PNG player demo for hiding audio inside PNG files.

The full listing is larger — the page offers a "Show All (153 entries)" view.

Services that changed or retired

The change log is worth checking before relying on a tool:

  • IP Ranges (2026-01-16): the IP service has been retired, and an improved replacement service has been set up.
  • IP Ranges (2025-08-17): country IP ranges updated.
  • Ping and Trace (2025-01-14): ping and traceroute were added to the IP website.
  • IP Ranges (2023-10-12 and 2023-06-11): country IP ranges updated.

What to expect when using it

Because each service is independent, navigation and layout differ from tool to tool, and there is no single account or dashboard tying them together. The site is a set of standalone utilities rather than a unified platform, so treat each entry on its own terms and check the change log for anything marked retired or replaced.
