Slightly OT but came into my mind when thinking about designing website related stuff: https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI

They also provide their own crypto within the standardlib. No openssl needed.

But I'd always alias some uncommon tasks and usages. Especially my quirky git ones:

  # get default branch
  alias gdefault='git remote show origin|grep -E HEAD|cut -d" " -f5'

  # cd to git root
  alias groot='cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"'

  # Revert last unpushed commit to the state before commiting
  alias uncommit="git reset HEAD~1 --soft"

  # Show all commits between head and main as one-liner
  alias gl1="git log --reverse --oneline HEAD...\`gdefault\`"

I often think about the "reinventing the wheel" argument. Isn't open source about diversity? There are so many fork, clones, "Yet another..."'s (yacc, yaml,...).

So many times I'm looking for suitable go libraries that solve a certain problem. There might be a few out there but every lib has its own pros and cons. Having the possibility to choose is great. Nothing sucks more than depending on a unmaintained clib nobody cares without alternatives.

The only counter-example that comes in my mind is crypto. You don't want to do your own crypto.

Random software-developer-related topics that I find interesting and needed to try out. I focus on writing compact posts since my overall focus is limited. I also use it to look back what I've actually done in the last years.

linux, programming, golang, godot, advent of code

Nope, I just tested it.

I'd guess there are too many branches with too many commits (e.g. all those FreeBSD ones with 10k-200k commits). Although you can click on branch and see the count of commits per branch, there might be an issue showing this information on the branch view due to some "DB-query-edge-case".

You know, it doesn't seem to be that hard to solve this problem in the first place, but backends with their DBs and services can be a wild jungle of data correlation.

As a low-level developer, I love to read man-pages and thus thought about making a "content-first", plain-text site. I also get distracted really fast and thought this would be the best way to get rid of all the noise and just show things as pure and down-boiled as they are.
