# ksam.pw

> k-sam's workshop: small, sharp, self-hosted tools, hand-written in plain HTML/CSS/JS with zero frameworks and zero build steps. Built and run by k-sam, a cloud and networking engineer. Perpetually 90% done.

k-sam is a cloud + networking engineer by day and a tool builder by night. Everything on ksam.pw is hosted on a box he administers himself (Apache + one PHP file). The site carries no tracking and no analytics. Every number it shows is measured on the visitor's own machine, not declared — if something can't be measured, it isn't displayed.

The site itself is a small interactive piece: a network/traceroute theme with a generative map, a command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + K), an in-page terminal (try `help`, `features`, `ssh saledaku`, `ping`, `snake`), and a "human" vs "dev" reading mode.

## Tools
