#Breaking There's an active nodejs supply chain attack going around.
From the looks of it many of these compromised packages have been mitigated but quite a few have not.

Wails: Create beautiful applications using Go
｢ The traditional method of providing web interfaces to Go programs is via a built-in web server. Wails offers a different approach: it provides the ability to wrap both Go code and a web frontend into a single binary. Tools are provided to make this easy for you by handling project creation, compilation and bundling. All you have to do is get creative! ｣

I forgot how tedious it is to chase code coverage when writing tests.
However this was part of the reason that made me include the "boring" parts of building a robust library into the goals set for the #nlnet grant.
So after a couple of days of work I finally got the first of the storage backends for the #GoActivityPub library go past 80% test coverage.
I hope I can reuse some of the test logic in the other backends, as they need to perform identically.

Did any #Go developers need code to get a zero value of a struct but without knowing the layout of the struct itself?
The only thing I could come up with was:
func zero[T any](v T) T {
z := &v
zz := reflect.ValueOf(z).Elem()
zz.Set(reflect.Zero(reflect.TypeOf(v)))
return *z
}
And see here an example of usage: https://go.dev/play/p/Aqzc_nRzOcP
I needed it in order to get zero copies of random structs so I could test that some marshal/unmarshal functionality is a bijection.
Is this a decent way to do it? Are there alternatives?
