# Site TODO
**Note:** This is the `TODO.md` from the old Jekyll backend, so some of
this stuff may not make any sense.
## general
* replace `` in old posts with `{{< figure >}}` (partial work
done on stuff `>= 2019`)
* fix broken links in posts
* import files
* add "music" somewhere ("songs", keep pmdn.org for personal stuff)
* add sticky footer:
https://css-tricks.com/couple-takes-sticky-footer/
## posts
* animated svg, another example here:
-
* fast document search: postgres fts, `pg_trgm`, and tika (git/test/sift)
(richard asked about this on 2019-07-22, so +1)
- sqlite3 fts search
* monthly link sweep?
* pi notes
* k3 notes
* compiler surprises: https://godbolt.org/z/ZQbZ2R
* model 3 (3 months, notes, cost per mile comparison)
* temperature sensors (see SA post, add bit about "meat"): https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3468084&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=176#post494884256

* legacy debian (hamm): http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/hamm/main/binary-i386/base/
* things i noticed:
* possible small set giving extreme outliers
* dash is not /bin/sh on all linuxes (only debian-based distros)
* wonder about overall size of base installs (base rate fallacy)
* summary of rust conclusion seems suspect and different than
content of paper itself
* detailed results are interesting

- CTEs as optimization barrier:
https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/suyidt/a_hairy_postgresql_incident/hxdvwl4/
- `~* ANY(string_to_array(?))` (comment in reddit w/json array)
- pub/sub?
- domains instead of repeated check constraints
- trigger `TG_ARGV`
- trigger `REFERENCING ... AS` (newer PG)
- `COMMENT ON` ...

- https://cyclonedx.org/docs/1.4/json/
- https://github.com/spdx/spdx-examples/blob/master/example3/spdx/example3-bin.spdx
- go parsers for both are available:

* investigate sendBeacon()

* YUGE site JS savings
- 27 bytes, ~8.8% unminified size reduction
- notes in header of `themes/hugo-pt2021/assets/script.js`
- over the network size (inc deflate and headers) went from
450 bytes to 374 bytes for a 76 byte reduction (~16.9%)
* needed in a package manager
- organizational namespacing
scoped gems:
- signing and/or global subdb
- declarative install (go)
rationale:
- typosquatting (see sqo vulns from may email)
- starsquatting (requests, phpass): https://medium.com/checkmarx-security/typosquatting-attack-on-requests-one-of-the-most-popular-python-packages-3b0a329a892d
- ref: https://kerkour.com/rust-crate-backdoor

- (problems w/ go modules)
- ruby gems not solving the right problem with 2fa:
- go1 and GODEBUG
- motherfucking package managers
* radare2, ghidra
