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.

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.

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.
