The Memes You Need, Vol. 16: The Iran War Edition

Just published an 18-minute blog post about the emotional nuance of giving and receiving feedback… because obviously this is the conversation we all need while the world is maybe (?) ending.
I haven’t checked the news in 2 days. Should I… just let “feedback is care” be my legacy?

There are are no tokens or cookies, so migrating should be easy, but note that it applies strict same-origin checks.

In which I survey CSRF countermeasures and existing Go libraries and propose we add CrossOriginForgeryHandler to net/http to solve this once and for all.
Turns out there is no need for tokens or keys in 2025! Browsers just send a This-Is-CSRF header now. (Sort of.)

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.
