  • Pakistan Taxpayer Data

    Between 2013 and 2018, the Pakistan Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) published a directory of all taxpayers.1 Naturally, these are shared as PDFs that look something like:

    Why is the FBR exposing everyone’s name, CNIC, and how much income tax they’ve paid? On the foreward of the same PDF:

  • selfhosted website

    hashirsafdar.com now points to this website, but hosted locally instead of Cloudflare Pages.

    it is running on an Intel N100 NUC running Proxmox. for deployment, a local hugo build and rsync to an LXC that serves it with Caddy.

    excited to see the traffic that ends up here!

  • watchout - update 0.2017

    this was previously hosted on thisishashir.wordpress.com

    following 2 (two!) downloads from all over the world, i am back with the long-awaited update codenamed ‘THE NEW BEGINNING UPDATE’1

    with the new year, i understand that this has become a time for us to be self-reflective and improve ourselves to become better people, and this update embodies that entire message.

    but you may ask, how can a game about the story of a cube even begin to embody such a message? alas, that is not for you to ask, as i’m the one making the game. all you have to do is experience.

    Started this game back in [redacted] 4 months ago. This game has spanned me three real life countries. I can’t lose now.

    using a nuke for the first time - damn. makes you feel bad inside. and no one seems to care for the first few turns. ghandi, the second civ I met. we pretty much hated eachother since turn one yet i feel bad for doing it. wow.
