For a selection of interesting / dangerous (same thing) software projects, visit my Github page.

There is also a map of AWS service endpoints by region and IPv6 support.

A note about this site’s domain name: It was registered as my personal domain name and I’ve been using it for multiple decades now. Back then, the phrase “never again” wasn’t usually associated like it is today. The original idea – long abandoned by now – behind the domain name was absolutely unrelated to historic atrocities.
