Infrastructure built to spec. Designed with safeguard, powered by ZFS because nothing else comes close. Isolated workloads without the Docker mess. Native OS management, no third-party nonsense. "Orchestration" stitching not needed, composability by design. Power of full control over servers, networks, and apps. Performance tuning, security hardened at every layer, and systems that won't fail. Built to do one thing: work beautifully and reliably. This isn't serverless; it's serverful - because outsourcing your infrastructure to ephemeral cloud is already a loss.
Time to fall in love with real computing again
Why ITHAS
For those who value simplicity, speed, and the integrity of native software, welcome to ITHAS. Put control back where it belongs: in your hands. Hardware has come a long way. It's time your software caught up. Sprints are for hamsters — real software demands endurance and strength.
inspired by the best in technology
Decade of evolution
and achievement
Working with partners across industries has been a privilege, but also a laboratory, often finding that true solutions emerge not from conventions but from the right ideas, collaborations, or singular vision to do it right. The results speak for themselves — innovation doesn't follow fads, or play well with vanity metrics, but silently sets standards.
serverless loves your $$
Dave isn't just right about the chat app — he's right about all software. If you want quality and "velocity" at the same time, you'll get neither. The cost of technical debt is more than your short-term gains.
A focused tool, holistic system, or infrastructure engineered with care can outlive any generation of hardware, trend, or vendor.
Software isn't about features; it's about purpose. Say no to vendor lock-ins, and no to CPU limits made to drain your wallet.
Be like Dave.
"From chaos, a flower"
FIXING SHORTCOMINGS WHEN NO ONE WILL.
What if interfaces were pure, never bloated? They can be — by returning to design where abstractions of REST, overhead of virtualization, complexity of "cloud", and modern dependency hell, are all rendered obsolete. This isn't a dream, but reality of computing done right.

In panoply of ancient kings,
in chainéd rings he armoured him;
his shining shield was scored with runes
to ward all wounds and harm from him;
his sword of steel was valiant,
of adamant his helmet tall,
an eagle-plume upon his crest,
upon his breast an emerald.
+A wanderer escaped from night
+to haven white he came at last,
+to Elvenhome the green and fair
+where keen the air, where pale as glass
+beneath the Hill of Ilmarin
+a-glimmer in a valley sheer
+the lamplit towers of Tirion
+are mirrored on the Shadowmere.

Services
Solutions that work today and work tomorrow, respecting what matters: clean interfaces, predictable behavior, new ideas, both technical and non-technical clients/collaborators/users alike.
Collaboration
Inspiration grows when shared. ITHAS cares about contributing to open source, research, building proprietary solutions, creating things that matter. Good idea tells a story-lets write it together.
Products
Tools should not become the work, rather than enabling the work
Featured Products
Murmur
User-space, block-level deduplication and snapshot tool designed for backup and versioning of files and directories. It uses hashed, compressed blocks to minimize storage usage and provides fast restoration from snapshots. Portable across POSIX systems.
HiveMindless
A minimalist terminal-based chat application built in C, designed to run on UNIX systems like FreeBSD, macOS, and Illumos.
Mnemosyne
The simplest version control system - designed for developers who value sanity over ceremony.
PrismaFS
A lightweight, layered userspace filesystem inspired by Plan 9. It allows you to overlay a base filesystem with session-specific layers, providing isolated views and changes without affecting the original data. Running on FUSE and macFUSE.
