zenith

zenith is an experimental implementation of the Ethereum virtual machine in pure Zig. I probably won’t implement the whole thing, but it’s a fun way to play around with Zig on a project where Zig does seem to actually be the right tool.

• Renamed the project from eth-zvm to zenith (rolls off the tongue a bit better)

PicoShare

PicoShare is a minimalist web-based file sharing tool I’m working on. I’m often frustrated that I can’t just send someone a link directly to a file because every file-sharing service tries to re-encode images/video or wrap their own viewer around other files, so I’m making a simple self-hostable tool that lets you upload files and share them with other people.

• Updated go.mod to use go 1.21
• Started experimenting with a new SQLite driver that supports the streaming blob API for SQLite

Exploding Servers

Exploding Servers is a pet project, maybe business that lets people spawn servers that automatically get killed after a set expiration time. Maybe it’s a business. Who knows!

• Display the server’s state in the list of servers (starting, stopping, etc.)
• Add UI controls to allow the user to pick their OS
• Delete the “user” dropdown menu from the UI
• Make AMD64 the default architecture

Misc

• Bought a new server chassis for my homelab NAS server
