This page also exists on the [tildeverse](https://tildeverse.org/), a bunch of \*nix computers that let people sign up for shell accounts. A typical shell account features clients for IRC and email, common terminal/commandline utilities, and (most importantly) web hosting. Read about the tildeverse's [origins](https://web.archive.org/web/20180917091804/https://medium.com/message/tilde-club-i-had-a-couple-drinks-and-woke-up-with-1-000-nerds-a8904f0a2ebf), read [the FAQ](https://tilde.club/wiki/faq.html), pick [a tilde](https://tilde.club/%7Epfhawkins/othertildes.html) and [get started](https://tilde.club/~anthonydpaul/primer.html).

I readily concede to several points in favor of source availability from a security perspective:
|
||||
|
||||
- Source code can make analysis _easier_ by _supplementing_ source-independent approaches. The lines between the steps I mentioned in the [four-step vulnerability-fixing process](#understanding-program-behavior) are blurry.

- Source code can make analysis _easier_ by _supplementing_ source-independent approaches. The lines between the steps I mentioned in the [four-step vulnerability-fixing process](#how-security-fixes-work) are blurry.
|
||||
- Patching vulnerabilities is important. Source availability makes it possible for the community, package maintainers, or reporters of a vulnerability to patch software. Package maintainers often blur the line between "packager" and "contributor" by helping projects migrate away from abandoned/insecure dependencies. One example that comes to mind is the Python 2 to Python 3 transition for projects like Calibre.[^12] Being able to fix issues independent of upstream support is an important mitigation against [user domestication](./../../../2021/01/27/whatsapp-and-the-domestication-of-users.html).
|
||||
- Some developers/vendors don't distribute binaries that make use of modern toolchain-level exploit mitigations (e.g. <abbr title="Position-Independent Executables">PIE</abbr>, <abbr title="ReLocation Read-Only">RELRO</abbr>, stack canaries, automatic variable initialization, [<abbr title="Control-Flow Integrity">CFI</abbr>](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html), etc.[^13]). In these cases, building software yourself with these mitigations (or delegating it to a distro that enforces them) requires source code availability (or at least some sort of intermediate representation).
|
||||
- Closed-source software may or may not have builds available that include sanitizers and debug symbols.

* Infotiger: Allows choosing between multiple different sorting algorithms (date, text length, PageRank, and "AND"). Supports English and German. The legacy version allows submitting links via a web-form or email, but I don't know if that has an impact on the more recent alpha version.
|

* search.tl: Generalist search for one TLD at a time (defaults to .com). I'm not sure why you'd want to always limit your searches to a single TLD, but now you can.⁹ There isn't any visible UI for changing the TLD for available results; you need to add/change the "tld" URL paramater. For example, to search .org sites, append "&tld=org" to the URL. It seems to be connected to Amidalla.de, but Amidalla doesn't seem to currently be operational. Amidalla allows users to manually add URLs to its index and directory; I have yet to see if doing so impacts search.tl results.
|
||||
* Kozmonavt: Has a small index of almost 5 million sites. If I want to find the website for a certain project, Kozmonavt works well (provided its index has crawled said website). It works poorly for learning things and finding general information. I cannot recommend it for anything serious since it lacks contact information, a privacy policy, or any other information about the org/people who made it. Discovered in the seirdy.one access logs.
|

* Burf.co: Very small index, but seems fine at ranking more relevant results higher. Allows site submission without any extra steps. Down as of late June 2021.

It implemented DRM support after it lost to the other W3C members. This doesn't excuse putting DRM in a browser, but at least there wasn't malicious intent. The same can't be said for the pro-DRM members of the W3C.
