  • New feature for Go - add method to get the operating system version

    One problem is, on Windows, this is impossible without bundling your application with a compiled manifest (I use github.com/akavel/rsrc. It's a horrible state of affairs brought about by backwards compatibility, but without it when you ask for a version, you'll get Windows 8 no matter what.

    https://github.com/akavel/rsrc/ - could take some support for version info - it's probably currently the most requested feature in it; as to UX my preference would be for passing it via JSON; some basic barebones tests would also be good, I mean to roughly verify that the version actually gets added successfully, via some powershell/vbscript script or something;

  • Safely store secrets in Git using Blackbox
    2 projects | dev.to | 6 Feb 2023
    Blackbox is a great tool for securely storing secrets within a Git repository. It provides an easy-to-use PGP encryption system, which ensures that secrets are kept safe and secure. Furthermore, Blackbox can also be used in GitHub Actions as a secret repository, allowing developers to quickly load secrets into their pipelines. With its robust security and automated processes, Blackbox is an excellent tool for securely storing secrets within Git.
  • Blackbox - Secrets amongst your code
    1 project | dev.to | 14 Jan 2023
    One of the major concerns amongst developers is how to store shared secrets. Storing secrets in a config file along with your source code is problematic as it can compromise privacy. Storing it outside without proper process or documentation can tend to be forgotten (not saying this is not good as using SAAS tools like Vault is the way to go). But in case you have a limited budget and limited capability, using GPG is the way to go. Here comes Blackbox.
