Does widespread browser implementation of the Sec-Fetch-Site HTTP header mean we can protect against CSRF attacks without needing those hidden form tokens? It looks like the answer may be a cautious "yes"! https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/15/csrf-in-go/

A modern approach to preventing CSRF in Go

Alex Edwards writes about the new http.CrossOriginProtection middleware that was added to the Go standard library in version 1.25 in August and asks: Have we finally reached the point where …

Inside you there are two wolves. One of them knows SQL. This is the WHERE-wolf.

One rubber duck can speed you up, but two ducks slow you down, because they start talking to each other and distract you.

This is known as the ‘inefficiency pair-o-ducks’.

It helps to always have a needle handy I guess.

I just think it is delightful that hedgehogs are learning fist aid. It’s an important hedgerow skill.

For those of you at GOTO Copenhagen, I'll be speaking at 14.15 in room 2 about what we can and should be learning from recent security incidents.

So cool! Running `brew services start caddy` with this in my Caddyfile:

dannorth.localhost {
reverse_proxy localhost:1313
}

Suddenly I have an https version of dannorth.net running on my Mac, and I don't have to remember which port it is running on.

(Caddyfile is in `$(brew --prefix)/etc`)

Ah but Thierry, you are missing out on the Calendar icon that looks like it was designed by a 9-year-old.

...and we're back! (Hard work, frustrating, but yes, it's a better talk now. Of course that means I have to go back and rewrite the article.)

Tahoe day 4: Crashy Tahoe is crashy.

So far, during normal use:

- Calendar
- Keynote (twice)
- Mail (but I was editing a signature)
- Safari (!)
- Finder (!!)

When Calendar came back, it still had the half-written new event in the open dialog, so extra credit for trying.

Tahoe day 3.

Mail -> Show Contact Card for sender -> shows a system UUID, exactly what I was after.

Bonus: Clicking on 'Open with Contacts' opens... a completely different contact!

Dialog saying 'Contact' and just showing a UUID, with a button that says 'Open with Contacts'
