My SSH Setup

Lately I’ve been heavily using two tricks that have really improved my SSH’ing experience: reverse port forwarding and a fileserver.

Optimizing argparsh

argparsh allow shell scripts to have better argument parsing. However, it requires many repeated invocations of the argparsh process - how can we reduce the overhead of spawning argparsh processes? In this post we make argparsh 3.46x faster by using static linking and nostd.

projects

  • argparsh
    • Language agnostic argument parser

rainbow

  • rainbow
    • Static analysis tool for C/C++ to reject invalid callgraphs, powered by clang and Cypher
    • Some example usecases are:
      • Prevent functions that assume locks are held from being called without a lock
      • Prevent functions using collective MPI operations from being called during another collective operation
      • Prevent secure functions from being called from insecure contexts
  • sPyCy
    • A python implementation of graph database with an openCypher frontend for testing openCypher tools, or for embedding openCypher in other projects.
    • Try the in-browser demo at the link above! Or try a demo of sPyCy being used to implement a webscraper here!

video-synth

  • video-synth
    • A synthesizer for visual effects! Chain together various filters and transformations and build temporal functions to animate them. The UI is definitely a work in progress and is hard to use.

    • An interactive book based of the corresponding content from the cs241 coursebook
    • Features a visualization of disk blocks in a ext2/minix-like filesystem and has a command line simulator with support for commands like ls, cat, hexdump and many more!
