Open Source Insights by Google for the dependency graph

Something I've recently worked on is building an SQLite database of all the dependencies my organisation uses, which makes it possible to write our own queries and reports. The tool is all Open Source (https://dmd.tanna.dev) and has a CLI as well as the SQLite data.

Ive used it to look for software that's out of date (via https://endoflife.date), to find vulnerablilities (via https://osv.dev) and get license information (via https://deps.dev)

It's been hugely useful for us understanding use of internal and external dependencies, and I wish I'd built it earlier in my career so I could've had it for other companies I've worked at!

https://deps.dev/ (a Google project) repeatedly examines sites such as github.com, npmjs.com, and pkg.go.dev to find up-to-date information about open source software packages. Using that information it builds for each package the full dependency graph from scratch—not just from package lock files—connecting it to the packages it depends on and to those that depend on it. And then does it all again to keep the information fresh. This transitive dependency graph allows problems in any package to be made visible to the owners and users of any software they affect.

Reminded me of Hacker Scripts, specifically `fucking-coffee`:

> this one waits exactly 17 seconds (!), then opens a telnet session to our coffee-machine (we had no frikin idea the coffee machine is on the network, runs linux and has a TCP socket up and running) and sends something like `sys brew`. Turns out this thing starts brewing a mid-sized half-caf latte and waits another 24 (!) seconds before pouring it into a cup. The timing is exactly how long it takes to walk to the machine from the dudes desk.

India has hundreds of millions of English speakers, is it a stellar IT nation? It can only boast a dozen puppet top execs of Indian origins in US megacorps like Microsoft and Google. And a few hundred thousands of office drones on H-1B visas. Half of them probably already got used as ass wipes and fired during the post-pandemic mass layoffs. Are there so many reasonably known Indian programmers? If the ones working in IT companies may not be known due to NDAs and code being proprietary, they should have as many known contributors to free software. Where are they? Do you know many? I know ONLY ONE. All India is known for are mean memes like the one about Kumar the proverbial asshole.

This story comes to mind. It could very well be made up, but someone else made those scripts inspired by the story.

kumar-asshole.sh

This is the script used to talk to the coffee machine:

I wonder how many other devices talk telnet and have a weak password. Would be cool to have a database of such models.

This reminded me of this internet folklore: https://www.jitbit.com/alexblog/249-now-thats-what-i-call-a-...

There is also a recreation of the scripts at https://github.com/NARKOZ/hacker-scripts

This is it, not sure if it's the original
