The character and color cycling effect program mentioned at the end of the article is available here: https://www.cambus.net/character-and-color-cycling-effect-in...

It's a bit overkill for only building Poke, but you can use Pkgsrc [1] to do so on macOS:

Bootstrap Pkgsrc:

git clone https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc.git

cd pkgsrc/bootstrap

./bootstrap --unprivileged

And then build and install Poke:

cd ~/pkgsrc/editors/poke

bmake install package clean clean-depends

Taking the opportunity to mention Spleen, which I've been working on for the past year: https://github.com/fcambus/spleen

It is a monospaced bitmap font available in several sizes, ranging from 5x8 up to 32x64.

To give a bit more context, this is part of a wider effort to fuzz the NetBSD kernel.

This other presentation from EuroBSDcon 2019 is an overview of the ongoing work: https://netbsd.org/~kamil/eurobsdcon2019_fuzzing/presentatio...

For a more mature implementation of this concept, I would highly recommend having a look at Kore: https://kore.io

It has a sane architecture, and is fully privilege separated by default, with private keys isolated in a separate process. I've been using it lately to write REST APIs in C, and the experience has been awesome, it has great APIs to parse requests and easily construct responses.

Genuine question here but why would you want to write REST APIs in C?

I’ve been writing C for 25 years and I wouldn’t trust myself not to do something stupid.

I preferred nginx over kore.io. The nginx can do a lot of things and been recognize by a lot of popular company

For info, it's also packaged in OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD.

There is also an Homebrew formula for OS X users.

I pointed your comment to the author, and he updated the examples to mention this possibility :

I recently stumbled upon this in the header of a ZMODEM implementation in C, thinking you were likely the author. Now I have no doubts that you are ;)

Any stories to share regarding this implementation and how it came to be?

Yes, but for very obvious reasons not in this thread. The most abbreviated version of that story would be: I indirectly owe Chuck Forsberg all of my wealth.
