  • url

    URL Standard

    • The actually interesting discussion is here: https://github.com/whatwg/url/issues/577 with the more constructive and detailed proposition starting from here: https://github.com/whatwg/url/issues/577#issuecomment-118534...

    I like the idea of specifying the socket in place of the port number in the URL.

  • ldpreload

    Some useful LD_PRELOAD libraries

    • An LD_PRELOAD library would probably work. I wrote one which can make servers listen on UNIX domain sockets (https://github.com/AGWA/ldpreload#ldpreload-unixbindso) which would be a good starting point.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • ip2unix

    Turn IP sockets into Unix domain sockets

    • Another LD_PRELOAD based solution can be found here: https://github.com/nixcloud/ip2unix

    I use it to run a number of services under systemd, and haven’t had any issues.

  • google-authenticator-libpam

    • Especially that nowadays password authentication may fade away soon.

    Windows already supports password-less authentication quite well. It's just a matter of time until there are good solutions for Linux too.

    I have already some systems set up in a way that they ask for a TOTP when doing username/password login via SSH: https://github.com/google/google-authenticator-libpam
