I'm playing with repeatable development environment with incus. So, it's like in Docker, but naturally more things should be possible (eg. snap package manager is the ultimate test), but still more disposable than VMs (eg. it won't finish your laptop battery and annoy your ears with fan).

I’m continuing to work on AllZonefiles.io — a domain-data hub that aggregates and serves large-scale zone files. Right now it covers ~354M domains across 1,575 zones, including ~114M domains from 317 ccTLDs, which turned out to be the hardest part operationally.

The next step is an extended dataset parsed from WHOIS: create/expire/update timestamps, NS records, and IANA registrar info. Stack is fairly boring on purpose: Go, bare-metal Linux, PostgreSQL, Bootstrap 5. The motivation is to make downloading and keeping the most complete domain lists possible automated and predictable, without manual registry workflows or fragmented sources.

I'm working on https://laboratory.love

Laboratory.love lets you fund independent plastic chemical lab testing of the specific foods you actually buy. Think Consumer Reports meets Kickstarter, but focused on detecting endocrine disruptors in your yogurt, your kid’s snacks, or whatever you’re curious about.

Find a product (or suggest one), contribute to its testing fund, and get full lab results when testing completes. If a product doesn’t reach its goal within 365 days, you’re automatically refunded. All results are published publicly.

This project was inspired by Nat Friedman's PlasticList.org and we use the same ISO 17025-accredited methodology they did, testing three separate production lots per product (when possible) and detecting down to parts-per-billion. The entire protocol is open.

I just published new results today! Turns out Muir Glen's caned Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes are incredibly low in plastic chemicals. Yay!
