New feature: output formats: github.com/rburchell/mu...
So if you want to distribute tar.gz or zip, as well as, or instead of your #Golang binaries, that's now easily possible:
//go:multibuild:format=raw,zip,tar.gz
Seems nobody properly solved "I want SMTP in CI or testing, but not a real one, because I want to directly grab the email to see if everything worked, and I just want it simple and run inside of the job" (or at least I didn't find it).
If you have the same problem: github.com/aardsoft/deb...
[master 0fae0d8b] pkg/irc: who cares?

RIP to some of the first #Golang I ever wrote. I don't think I've used it since 2021, and. the last *serious* use was probably 2014.

13.01.2026 19:50 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Hm, one of the few times I've noticed a missing piece in the #Golang stdlib: compress/bzip2 only has a decoder, no encoder. That's frustrating.
I wanted it for output formats for multibuild: github.com/rburchell/mu...
Seems it's quite an old issue:

Speaking of GitHub, I'm amazed that the new code search shipped the way it is. Sure, it's nice that it's better at finding things, but that's pratically pretty useless when it doesn't work on most repos because they haven't been indexed.
Why not just fall back to (some equivalent of) "git grep"?
Yeah, unfortunate and weird that.

Yes, I'm aware community actions for that exist, but I don't want to take unnecessary supply chain security risks.
And yes, I know that there are other options. But this one's mine.

Meet multibuild: github.com/rburchell/mu...
It's a simple way to make cross compilation of Go binaries easier. One command to build for many platforms.
I found it got pretty karmic. Season one ended really well.

Cost of living is rising, wages are stagnating.
So while they may pay proportionally less tax than their income band did a decade ago - that wonβt help much overall if the cost of living has significant risen over the same timeframe?
