Cappy’s Website

Hi I’m Cappy, welcome to my personal website.

You may also know me by my legally assigned name of Pornpipat Popum.

I mostly write in Rust, and occasionally in Python and JavaScript/Typescript. Sometimes bare metal hardware if I could afford materials.

Big Ado fan.

My expertise is mostly in backend and systems stuff. I don’t really do web development (see below).

this is my wife btw hiii!!!

Notable stuff I did

• Backflow - a (somewhat) high-performance networked input routing framework and ephemeral message queue, designed to handle low-latency rapid-fire events

  • performance-tuned with rhythm games in mind
  • insane throughput (around ~100us per event)
  • modular 9P-style architecture for integration with external driver plugins.

  Events can be directly piped in or out of Backflow using a variety of protocols transparently, allowing any arbitrary integration with external hardware or software. Including standard I/O (stdio), UNIX Sockets, and WebSockets all with the same ABI

• Ultramarine Linux - Fedora-based Linux distribution spawned from frustration with Red Hat’s FOSS packaging policies, now aims to be a user-friendly Fedora remix with a focus on out-of-the-box usability and software ecosystem

• Terra - RPM packages repository created as a supplementary repository for Ultramarine Linux, but also available for any Fedora-based distribution users to use. Contains a variety of software that is not available in Fedora’s official repositories, Aims to be a partially-automated replacement for RPM Fusion.

• Some arcade bootleg scene stuff I probably can’t get into publicly because the corporate ninjas will kill me, not that I care Let’s just say Japanese IT infra is laughably outdated.

FAQ

What’s this website built in?

This whole thing’s built using Astro, TailwindCSS and some MDX (and some manual css rules). Mostly because I:

1. Don’t like to write CSS rules
2. Still liked to write Markdown over HTML
3. Wanted a streamlined way to quickly convert all my Markdown into a static HTML site

that’s it. that’s literally it.

Why?

I want to be lazy and also make my shit scale at the same time, in case I wanted to add more complex stuff, but for now this shit is as basic as it gets

What do you actually do?

I am the CIO (Chief Information Officer) of Fyra Labs.

As you can see from this website, web design isn’t my strong suit so I intentionally made this website very minimal. This website is mostly just a formality :p

I usually do backend and stuff that involves networking and/or high performance code stuff. And also Ultramarine Linux.

What’s your favorite color?

Blue. Teal maybe, mostly deep sky blue (#00bfff)

What’s your philosophy on life and/or work?

I tend to butt heads with the establishment on things, mostly because I’m a firm believer in absolute epistemological freedom and open-source.

If software exists but never gets used because of artificial restrictions, I see that as a failure of the system. I focus on making sure people can actually interact with and learn from software, sometimes that means giving access in ways the vendors never intended ;)

for my views on ethical source, see here. (tl;dr it’s pointless)

For my view on life itself though, I’m a Buddhist by birth and practice, so uhh if you want my interpretation on that, it’s one acronym: YOLO.
