  • 🧳 gobundle: quickly update or install your Go tools

    What it does

    gobundle makes your Go tools portable and allows you to keep them up to date. It uses a simple JSON configuration file. If executed without any flags gobundle tries to install the specified tools in your ~/.gobundle configuration.

    You can also “dump” your existing, installed Go tools with gobundle -d.

    Why I created it

    I use gobundle to keep the following tools up to date:

    • golang.org/x/tools/gopls
    • github.com/google/gops
    • github.com/gobuffalo/shoulders
    • honnef.co/go/tools/cmd/staticcheck
    • github.com/rakyll/govalidate

    In my .gobundle I use "lastest" as version. If you run gobundle it runs go get host.tld/project/name@version. Using "master" or any other SemVer tag is also possible to pin a tool to a specific version.

    Other use cases

    You can also use gobundle to define your basic Go toolset. If you have a new computer or updated your Go installation, just run gobundle again to reinstall your tools using the latest Go version.

    Give it a try

    Give it a star on GitHub: github.com/iwittkau/gobundle.

    To install run:

    GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/iwittkau/gobundle/cmd/gobundle@latest

  • 🌳 🌍 Ecosia Search Engine

    Listened to this interview with the CEO and founder of Ecosia. Unfortunately the interview is not available in English, but here is a transcript of the description. I’m definitely switching to Ecosia as my main search engine where possible now.

    Fun fact: Ecosia is the biggest European search engine. The search results are provided by Bing, which is a Microsoft product. The company has plans to be carbon negative by the end of the decade:

    By 2030 Microsoft will be carbon negative, and by 2050 Microsoft will remove from the environment all the carbon the company has emitted either directly or by electrical consumption since it was founded in 1975.

  • 📍 iOS Location Shortcut for Micro.blog v0.1

    Get it here.

    I use this to create check-ins independent form Foursquare. Of course this method is not as fully featured but I created a category to collect my check-ins.

    The current version is just some text and a markdown link you can paste into a new post in the Micro.blog app or Sunlit.

    Sending coordinates via the Micropub protocol is natively supported by Micro.blog’s API. The next version will hopefully be able to post location data directly to the API. Let’s hope I don’t have to write an app for that 😅.
