I use a quick `crypto.FNV32a`-based fix for short cache-busting fingerprints that doesn't directly rely on the unstable `.Key` method.
{{<codefigure>}}{{<codecaption lang="Go template">}}
I use Hugo's `crypto.FNV32a` to generate a short hash, then copy the resource to a new path with that fingerprint.
{{</codecaption>}}
```figure
{{ $resource := resources.Get . -}}
{{- $target_path_formatStr := (replaceRE `(\.[^\.]*)$` ".%d$1" .) -}}
{{- $cacheBuster := $resource.Content | crypto.FNV32a -}}
{{- $target_path := printf $target_path_formatStr $cacheBuster -}}
{{- return resources.Copy $target_path $resource -}}
```
{{</codefigure>}}
{{<codefigure>}}{{<codecaption lang="Go template">}}
You can [see it used in my site's <code>head</code> element](https://git.sr.ht/~seirdy/seirdy.one/blob/master/layouts/partials/head.html). I invoke it using `partialCached` so the fingerprinting only happens once per resource:
{{</codecaption>}}
```figure
{{ $icon_svg := partialCached "cache-bust.html" "/favicon.svg" "/favicon.svg" }}
{{- printf `<link rel="icon" sizes="any" href="%s" type="image/svg+xml" />` $icon_svg.RelPermalink | safeHTML }}
```
{{</codefigure>}}
{{<codefigure>}}{{<codecaption lang="HTML">}}
Here's a snippet of the final rendered result:
{{</codecaption>}}
```figure
<link rel="icon" sizes="any" href="/favicon.2229316949.svg" type="image/svg+xml"/>
```
{{</codefigure>}}
Encoding it to a higher base and using alphanumerics could shave off 1-2&nbsp;ch.
