I'm Urav. I build things with code.
This section auto-updates daily. It features one of my recent commits, or something interesting from my network, or a random gem from the wild. The commit gets roasted by an opinionated AI and rendered as a strange attractor.

Message: "perf(init): replace busybox with tiny-init (Rust)
Port minimal-init.sh to pure Rust, eliminating busybox dependency.
Performance improvements (5 concurrent VMs):
- E2E latency: 839ms β 744ms (-11%)
- Boot time: 540ms β 467ms (-14%)
- Guest wait: 496ms β 412ms (-17%)
- Initramfs: 1.4MB β 920KB (-34%)
Key changes:
- tiny-init/: New Rust init binary (~450KB static ELF)
- scripts/build-tiny-init.sh: Docker buildx multi-arch build
- scripts/build-initramfs.sh: Use tiny-init instead of busybox
- vm_manager.py: ARM64 console changed to ttyAMA0 (PL011 UART)
- hvc0 fails on ARM64 virt (virtio-serial not ready at early boot)
- ttyAMA0 is always available (memory-mapped hardware)
Technical details:
- MS_MOVE + chroot for switch_root (pivot_root fails from initramfs)
- Console redirect after switch_root, before execv
- Native syscalls: mount, insmod, swapon (no shell fork/exec)
- Static musl linking for both aarch64 and x86_64"
Review: Ah, this is how you do it. Ditching busybox for a purpose-built, statically linked Rust binary for init in a VM context? Brilliant. Less attack surface, native syscalls for actual speed, and performance numbers that aren't just wishful thinking. A solid win for real engineering.
Chaos: 80% Β· Mood: #008CBA
What is this?
The Pipeline:
- A GitHub Action runs daily and picks a commit (my own β network β starred repos β fallback)
- The commit diff is fed to Gemini, which produces a witty critique, a chaos score (0-100), and a mood color
- A Lorenz attractor is rendered using these parameters:
- Chaos score β modulates Ο (rho), affecting how chaotic the butterfly looks
- Mood color β tints the gradient from black β color β white
- Commit hash β seeds the initial conditions, so every commit is unique
The Math:
The Lorenz system is a set of differential equations that exhibit deterministic chaos. Small changes in initial conditions produce wildly different trajectories. It's the "butterfly effect", fitting for visualizing commits.
