Volker explains in a post how he uses the Brave Browser.
The DuckDuckGo No-AI Search extension sounds intrigueing and thus I installed it for my Brave Browser.
Will see how this performs in the long term and hopefully improves my personal web search experience.

Happy 24th birthday, x-log 🥳

Passweird - Passwords too Gross to Steal

This website will create for you passwords that are not only secure*, but also so utterly repulsive that not even the most hardened criminal, identity thief, NSA agent, or jealous boyfriend would ever want to use them.

The Multiple URLs in Git Remote article explaines how git handles multiple URLs.
Biggest takeaway for me is that you can have git push transparently push to two URLs at the same time.
Might become handy in all the ongoing discussions about GitHub reliability…

Blog Quest is a Firefox extension by Robert Alexander that quietly collects RSS feeds when you surf the web.

I like the idea of passively collecting feeds of websites I potentially find interesting, all while preserving my privacy and being unintrusive (no notifications, popups or similar).
Installed it today and already looking forward to review my surfing from time to time 😎

zkbro explains in a post how to configure Librewolf.
One of the mentioned add-ons catched my eye: Google Sign-in Popup Blocker
This should block the annoying sign-in with Google dialogs that popup on some websites.

As this sounds promising, I installed the add-on in my Firefox.
I briefly tested it on a site that uses the annoying sign-in with Google dialog, and this time the dialog did not appear.
To be sure I confirmed it in the developer tools where it mentioned that loading the dialog was blocked by the add-on 🎉

Well written article by Redowan Delowar, explaining how to achieve type-safe logging with Go's log/slog library.

• Take the logger as a constructor argument. Never reach for slog.Default() or any package-level slog function.
• Always use logger.LogAttrs(ctx, level, msg, attrs...). Not logger.Info, logger.Warn, or any of the kv-flavored helpers.
• Every attribute comes from a helper in internal/log/attrs.go. Write applog.OrderID(o.ID), never slog.String("order_id", o.ID) inline.
• sloglint enforces all three on every commit so the workflow doesn’t erode.
