Just implemented Landlock + seccomp notify based sandbox in PMG. A tool to protect cli package managers against malicious packages. There were quite a few quirks involved due to Go routines when it comes to handling messages from the kernel.

Working on analyticmind.io to help small teams with the decision making process. I feel like I've lived through a few too many decisions that didn't make sense to me or the rest of the organization.

Adding support for the threads/atomics proposal to my Wasm to Go transpiler: https://github.com/ncruces/wasm2go

Since I started it a couple of months ago, it's been used by me to transpile SQLite to Go, and by some other folks to transpile other C, C++, Zig and even Perl libraries to Go.

Working on a tool that lets you author in WordPress as usual (own Docker container, full editor + plugins) but exports the site to static HTML for the public version, so PHP doesn't run in front of readers. Deploy targets are Cloudflare Pages, a Git remote, or statichost.eu. Solo, just launched, currently grinding through hardening. Called Stelae if you want to have a look.

working on https://datavessel.io - Talk to your google analytics / search console / shopify store in plain english.

If you're not crazy about GA4 complexity and the like, this little SaaS will help you connect your data sources and talk to your data in plain english. (using agentic loop)

It's bring your own key model and It's free for resonable use (infra still costs so there must be some limits)

Otherwise feel free to try it out.

I made an end to end encrypted provably private LLM Router https://trustedrouter.com/

Been using that to power a Mac mini alternative I’ve been making https://jperla.com/blog/quill-one

I am working on trentdb . An in process single node database query engine inspired heavily by duckdb . Its primarily for me to understand databases in depth . Its completely written by codex and in java . Why Java? Its the language I am most familiar with . I just finished adding support for running all TPC-H queries.

Copywriting after AI

https://www.nair.sh/books/copywriting-after-ai

It's 88 pages of me describing my mental models for marketing, those which I think still hold true even after the introduction of AI.
