Golang SliceTricks, documented

This is a fork of the SliceTricks page of the golang wiki, but with documentation for each of the "tricks."

I created this by referring to this archive.org cache, (TODO: find git commit).

Backing up a GPG private key to a QR code

Use at your own risk! As with any backup method, test out your backup by restoring from it before you trust it.
