Programming

One of my most productive days was throwing away 1000 lines of code.

— Ken Thompson

Wiki profile: Mainly articles, most of which are also mirrored here. Not regularly updated.
Patches and code reviews: FreeBSD’s code review platform.
Ports: Ports I maintain.
Papers: From talks and presentations.
DTrace: Instruction-level dynamic tracing: Developed a new DTrace provider called “kinst” which enables tracing of arbitrary instructions and inline functions in the kernel. Available since FreeBSD 14.0. Also held a talk on it during EuroBSDCon 2023 in Coimbra, Portugal [slides, video] and AsiaBSDCon 2024 in Taipei, Taiwan [paper, slides]
Sound mixer improvements: An OSS mixer library implementation, a complete rewrite of mixer(8) and sound(4) update. The project was partially developed during Google Summer of Code 2021 and was committed to FreeBSD 14.0.

os: My toy OS. Currently does nothing other than boot.
pic_therm: Temperature and humidity measurement using the Microchip PIC16F877A microcontroller and the BME280 sensor.
nfy: Minimal and daemonless notification program for X.
chip8: Yes, another CHIP-8 emulator.
cstring: Lightweight string library for C. Kind of inspired by C++’s STL (stop laughing) string library.
graphcurses: Curses 2D graph generator. Plots single variable functions and their derivatives.

I mainly play guitar and a few other stringed instruments.

Below is a list of (published) projects I’ve worked on:

Defilade: My dead band. It started as a solo project in 2016 when I bought my first sound card and proper studio headphones, so that I could record music that didn’t sound like it was recorded with a Fisher-Price cassette recorder. The songs were all written and recorded before the band was formed, so we didn’t get the chance to write new songs as a band, except for one or two drafts. Compared to my other musical projects, this one has been quite “successful”, but nowadays I’m not really interested in working on it.
Friend: A Slovak friend of mine’s collective project I took part in. Here is a previous project of his.
Socrates Slit His Throat: A neighbor’s project I wrote parts and produced songs for. He now has a new post-rock project going on.
