My next game will use the same engine too

Turn Dependabot Off I recommend turning Dependabot off and replacing it with a pair of scheduled GitHub Actions, one running govulncheck, and the other running CI against the latest version of your dependencies.

Dependabot security alerts have terrible signal-to-noise ratio, especially for Go vulns. That hurts security!

Just turn it off and set up a pair of scheduled GitHub Actions, one running govulncheck and the other running CI with the latest version of your deps.

Less work, less risk, better results!

Related #golang PSA:

Gophers often mistakenly put a -u in 'go get -u foo', when they would have been better off with just 'go get foo'.

'go get foo' says to upgrade foo itself. It's shorthand for 'go get foo@upgrade'

'go get -u foo' says to *also* upgrade all the direct and indirect deps of foo.

Building a Transparent Keyserver We apply a transparency log to a centralized keyserver step-by-step, in less than 500 lines, with privacy protections, anti-poisoning, and witness cosigning.

Using an age keyserver as a demo, this article demonstrates how to add a transparency log to a centralized service step-by-step.

We use Tessera for the tlog, VRFs for privacy, and the Witness Network. It all takes just 500 lines to integrate!

The result of years of work making tlogs accessible.

Safari 26.2 Beta Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation Released November 4, 2025 — 26.2 beta (20623.1.12)

So happy that "Added WebGPU support for WebXR" (developer.apple.com/documentatio...) made it! Thank you!

Happy to see someone outside Google rebuild/verify Go toolchains. Thanks @agwa.name! www.agwa.name/blog/post/ve...

"So far, Source Spotter has successfully reproduced every toolchain since Go 1.21.0, for every architecture and operating system. As of publication time, that's 2,672 toolchains!"

I‘m curious, if you don’t mind sharing, what‘s your play time in hours at this point? (If you’d rather not say, no worries!)

A Retrospective Survey of 2024/2025 Open Source Supply Chain Compromises Project compromises have common root causes we can mitigate: phishing, control handoff, and unsafe GitHub Actions triggers.

To implement robust mitigations across Geomys, I did a survey of open source project compromises in 2024/2025.

Three root causes dominate: phishing, control handoff, and unsafe GitHub Actions triggers. All three can be systematically avoided.

Go's execution tracer is a woefully underutilized tool. It contains tons of information about what is happening at any given moment that you won't get with a profile.

In addition to showing flight recording capabilities, this post provides a nice example of how to use tracing to diagnose a problem.

Hi folks, it’s survey time! We’d love to learn more about how you use Go and what could be improved. Share your feedback via our annual developer survey at google.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_.... It should take 10 - 20 minutes to complete, and will be open through September 30. Thank you!
