JMP: Writing a Chat Client from Scratch
There are a lot of things that go into building a chat system, such as client, server, and protocol.  Even for only making a client there are lots of areas of focus, such as user experience, features, and performance.  To keep this post a manageable size, we will just be building a client and will use an existing server and protocol (accessing Jabber network services using the XMPP protocol).  We’ll make a practical GUI so we can test things, but not spend too much time on p … ⌘ Read more

ahh this is useful https://go.dev/doc/modules/managing-dependencies. the go culture doesn’t typically have large dependency graphs like Ruby or JS.

another paper which relies on questionnaires for attention span. am i going crazy? how is this a good metric‽

I reworked the current ActivityPub implementation of GoBlog, fixed ActivityPub replies to posts and also added support for reply updates and deletions. Under the hood it’s using the comment system. 🥳 Using the go-ap/activitypub library, working with ActivityPub is much easier (but still more complicated than I wish it would be). ⌘ Read more

@movq@uninformativ.de yeah.. i rewrote it a few times because i thought there was something breaking.. but was mistaken
though now i am seeing a weird cache corruption.. that seems to come and go.

Tell me you write go like javascript without telling me you write go like javascript:

import "runtime/debug"

var Commit = func() string {
  if info, ok := debug.ReadBuildInfo(); ok {
    for _, setting := range info.Settings {
      if setting.Key == "vcs.revision" {
        return setting.Value
      }
    }
  }

  return ""

GoCoverStats v0.0.5 is a security release #test #testing href=”https://we.loveprivacy.club/search?q=%23security”>#security**
The gocoverstats package just got a v0.0.5 security release on its golang.org dependencies and a minor change:

• golang.org/x/tools upgraded from v0.1.10 to v0.2 (security release on tools/crypto)
  
• github.com/google/go-cmp upgraded from 0.5.8 to 0.5.9 (test dependency non-security release)
  

One clarification about the default build is that, since it requires at least Go 1.18, paths and symbols are trimmed in the compiled output.

it uses the queries you define for add/del/set/keys. which corrispond to something like INSERT INTO <table> (key, value) VALUES ($key, $value), DELETE ..., or UPDATE ...

the commands are issued by using the maddycli but not the running maddy daemon.

Convert HEIC to JPG in Go
The “High Efficiency Image File Format” or HEIF is an image format often used by Apple devices. Although called HEIF, the file types are often heic ( presumably the ‘c’ stands for container?)

better quality and lower file size than standard jpeg files. 1 points posted by Edd Turtle ⌘ Read more
