dissemblage lab.dissemblage.art

Small, sharp instruments — the tools that make the rest of the work possible.

dissemblage is the toolmaking side of the bench: command-line tools, fleet plumbing, and data instruments. Unglamorous, load-bearing, and built to last.

Instruments

CLI

subdom

A tiny Rust tool for managing DNS subdomains across a fleet of domains via the registrar API. One verb, no ceremony.

Rust
Fleet

fleet docs

Living friction-catalogue and changelog for a small server fleet — institutional memory that survives between sessions.

ops
Audio

orpheus

A Swift CLI that pulls and decrypts voice memos from an iOS backup, on-host, no cloud round-trip.

Swift
Edge

caddy mesh

Automatic-TLS reverse proxying that turns a bare host into a flawless multi-site edge in a few lines.

Philosophy

A good instrument disappears into the work. These tools exist because a real task needed them — never as a framework looking for a problem. Flat layouts, minimal structure, no layers added until they're earned.
