Capslock is a capability analysis CLI for Go packages that informs users of which privileged operations a given package can access. This works by classifying the capabilities of Go packages by following transitive calls to privileged standard library operations.

The recent increase in supply chain attacks targeting open source software has highlighted that third party dependencies should not be inherently trusted. Capabilities indicate what permissions a package has access to, and can be used in conjunction with other security signals to indicate which code requires additional scrutiny before it can be considered trusted.

Tedu released his fifth or so fediverse server. This time featuring migrateable user identities and Java Script-heavy interface, which is actually fast because he doesn't know React.

Where does he get the time and energy? So prolific

ЛингваЛео переписали свой бэкенд с ПХП и Мюсиквель на Постгрес. Это всё. Логика на хранимых процедурах... Звучит дико, а так-то вообще-то в Постгресе есть свой крутой процедурный язык.

Утверждают, что кода стало во много раз меньше, новый код стал легко писаться, всё стало быстрее на пару порядков, и гораздо дешевле.

Apparently, there are quite some games for Minetest released. Most are Minecraft clones, as expected, but some are not. Maybe that would be a good platform for a game I have wanted to make for 4 years already?

Alex reminds us to keep our own archives of stuff we like. I remember how we had a discussion about that last November.

What are home row mods? What is a mod-tap? What settings do you need to use? What are the alternatives? And more in this article...

I should get back into keyboards. Did you know I used to make ergokeebs from foam/cardboard and the cheapest components? Regarding the article, I don't think home row mods are a good idea.

Yet another article lamenting the recent so-called developments of WWW. The author contrasts the web of documents with the web of applications. Lists three strict rules for the former: GET only, no scripts, no cookies. There's no place for Mycorrhiza and Betula in their current form in this world.

I used to think that indeed web applications have to go, embracing Gemini and whatnot. But after all these years, nah. Let's keep JavaScript. The thing is, let's use it responsibly.

My takeaway from Soylent is this: You can’t simply hack humanity into a more optimized version of itself. Our needs and drives have been shaped by millions of years of co-evolution and won’t be engineered away by a coterie of coders — no matter how much pedigreed venture funding they secure.

Because, in the end, even the most powerful code can’t reprogram the squishy, gloriously inefficient realities of the flesh.

And reader, that’s not at all a bad thing.

Hi! I am Susam Pal. Welcome to my website. This page provides a brief introduction about me and this website.

I am a software engineer by profession. I have a keen interest in free and open source software. My first non-trivial contribution to open source was NUTCH-559 in 2007. That contribution added support for various authentication schemes to Apache Nutch, an open source web crawler. I have remained active in the open source communities since then. I also develop and maintain a few open source projects of my own at github.com/susam. For a list of my projects, see my open source work details.

In this post, I talk about pleasant but seemingly minor features in personal sites

Wow!

A year ago, Marginalia Search's developer received a grant, so he walked out of the office and never came back, and he still has more money funded. I don't think I would want to work like that forever, but working on my own projects like that for some months — sounds like a dream.

Regarding the recent Maven drama.

A look into the history of Canon Cat, deeper than most, and then a demonstration of hardware maintenance. I didn't care much about the second part, but the first part interested me. For example, I didn't know about SwyftCard before!

Just learned that MoinMoin had an alpha release of 2.0 this March. After 13 or so years of development! This news brings me joy.

Which leads to the question: what makes one of these work? I’ve been a part of several groups and have tried to stand up many myself and I find the same patterns repeating across all the good ones. The best ones are a “forever dinner party” – good friends and conversation happening in perpetuity. They often share the below.

• Gardener, not carpenter

• Cooling rods and nuclear reactors

• The n-1 group

• Dinner party alchemy

• Gravitational pull of a few topics

• Size and Pruning

• Shared rituals

Why do this, you might ask? Well the above board reason is that it allows Microsoft to tune and modify the system call layer at will, improving performance and adding features without being forced to provide backwards compatibility application binary interfaces (or "ABI's" for short). The more nefarious reasoning is that it allows Microsoft applications to cheat, and call directly into the undocumented Win32 subsystem system call interface to provide services that competing applications cannot. Several Microsoft applications were subsequently discovered to be doing just that of course.

For better or worse, I sometimes think. I have heard that I therefore am, but I’m unconvinced. Nevertheless, sometimes I write my thoughts down. Mostly just in my diary, but other times I publish them on the Web. This notebook contains those of my writings that are in a state somewhere between published and private.

Somebody posted Betula on HackerNews and it stayed on the front page for a day. That's first time for me.
