@bagder Im sure you are underestimating the numbers by a huge margin

Luca

@CodingThunder @bagder
Exactly what I thought. 8 billion… just? πŸ€”

daniel:// stenberg://

@lued @CodingThunder I chose 8 only because it was easy to modify to from the original's 3...

@bagder Is this the announcement that curl has been bought by Oracle? πŸ˜„

Stefan Eissing

@bagder that memory safe runtime did not age so well...😌

CgX :oh_no: πŸ™πŸ₯

@bagder That's an awful monopolistic situation ! 🀣 ❀️

Johannes :verified_paw: :donor:

@bagder you better not sell curl to oracle, mister :blobcatscared:​

Newk

@bagder

Word on the street is curl Pro will soon be available as a subscription.

*sigh*Ber nard

@bagder That's a lot less scary than the original!

@bagder curl however doesn't strictly honor cert chains; it only matches the first CA (not the root CA) in the trust store. i therefore think it's wildly insecure for applications requiring SSL

ROTOPE~1 :yell:

@klutzagon @bagder I believe that if you're on a Mac, it does even more unexpected things.

Billy O'Neal

@bagder I feel like even comparing with curl gives too much credit to Oracle

Peter Bindels

@bagder Only 8 billion? I must have at least 20.

mirabilos

@bagder ok I admit that’s more than #mksh (but then, mksh needs a unixy/posixy system much more than curl does)

Cegorach

@erik good idea, but @bagder is probably the wrong person to ask for that

@bagder It's not world domination until it makes it to Mars.
daniel_ferradal_marquez

@bagder even though it could be written in just a weekend 😜

Demiurg

@bagder Running on 8 billion devices on 2 planets πŸ₯Ή Congratulations... that is so crazy!

ml

@bagder
Had same idea after reading "curl on 100 operating systems".
3 billion, 8 billion, to the moon and beyond πŸš€

@bagder That screenshot is from a time when windows was actually a half-decent OS. Long gone.

daniel:// stenberg://

@words_number the listed products in the window also kind of hints of a time long gone...

SpaceLifeForm

@bagder

So, if the machines can not auto-update to a newer curl that supports new cipher-suites, and the platform is 32-bit windows, what do you think will happen?

@bagder Hey Daniel! This reminds me of a photo I took in my car on Monday. (Pardon the dust.)
