Parsing an Undocumented File Format
- ImHex [2], which has a pattern language [3] which allows parsing, and it seems more powerful than what Kaitai offers. I stumbled upon some limitations with it but it was still useful.

Hacking the LG Monitor's EDID
An EDID override like this would be helpful for macOS as well, where the monitors swapping around after standby is a real annoyance [0] [1]
EDID rewrites are 99% of the time blocked by the monitor firmware: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Decoding-monitor-EDID-on-macO...
By the way, one helpful tool that helped me navigate the EDID dump was Kaitai Struct [2]. It shows a side by side view with the hex view and the EDID structure, and it highlights the hex values in real time as you navigate the structure. Unfortunately [3] it doesn't support the extension blocks that the author needs.

Ingesting, parsing and making sense of device log data
For binary log format, there's the excellent Kaitai Struct frameworks, that make it very easy to generate parsers from a declarative schema

Tool to interact with CSV
I used to use csvkit tools, but at some point I had issues with some conversions of values (I don't remember the details).

How to log query in Postgres container Docker to CSV file
I recommend you add a header column to CSV file that we got so it's easy to implement and use a tool like csvkit to filter data.
- Do you know of any website that has a bunch of files for CSV parser edge case testing?
- If you want to run SQL queries on CSV files from the command line without installing/opening any DBMS software, use CSVKIT
