Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

uwurandom

v0.0.2

Published

`/dev/urandom` is made out of cold hard math. Instead, consider using `/dev/uwurandom`, which generates data through a tiny catgirl furiously typing away utter nonsense inside your computer.

Readme

/dev/uwurandom (dot js)

You can now use uwurandom in JavaScript! It's compiled to WebAssembly, and it's compact enough that it's all bundled into a single JavaScript file.

There are two classes: UwurandomState (which holds a single instance of an uwurandom generator) and DestBuffer (which is where the output is written). Use them like so:

import {readFile} from 'node:fs/promises';
import {join} from 'node:path';
import {UwurandomState, DestBuffer} from './dist/uwurandom.mjs';

// Create a new uwurandom generator
const state = new UwurandomState();
// Create an output buffer to write into
const dest = new DestBuffer(8192);

for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
    // Generate catgirl nonsense to your heart's content
    state.generate(dest);

    // Convert the binary output to text
    const uwuText = dest.asText();

    // uwehhhh *lies down on a random surface* owo >//////< :3
    // skgahkfgjhglksksdhgsdhgafgbkskahfkfglg;kjkfgfg;dfgjhdsdhiuegjfghgjdhrhgaj
    // *falls asleep* owo *eats all ur doritos* uwu >///<
    process.stdout.write(uwuText);
}

// Remember to free the buffers once you're done with them
state.destroy();
dest.destroy();

This package also contains an uwurandom binary which outputs an endless stream of catgirl nonsense, just like the kernel module and native usermode binary.
