A FOSS project like OpenSSL should be able to explain their choices without resorting to unverified, wishy-washy statements.

This has gone on long enough. Debian sid is now shipping curl with gnutls to enable HTTP/3. Gentoo is considering its options.

Talk to your distro of choice, if you want access to modern internet protocols. The alternatives are there.

@icing shall we do the same for curl container ?

It's better to solve the merge conflicts later than never to have coded at all!

Johan Wärlander 🦀

@icing We need a programming language where the merge conflict markers are valid syntax, and means that one of the options will be picked at random.

Alternatively, the compiler may try permutations of the combined code until it becomes a valid program, the final version only existing in the resulting binary.

„Tar
Shockingly, collecting a directory into a tarball and then extracting it into a new directory to copy it is often faster than cp.“

Class assignment: explain why🤓

@icing my preferred way of copying a directory for ages has been

(cd source; tar cf - .) | (cd dest; tar xf -)

I can never remember how cp -r works.

@icing cp is slow in general in most cases. with tar, file accesses are buffered, inodes are preloaded, etc. somewhat related: ariadne.space/2022/07/17/how-e

@icing I'm afraid I always use rsync. Which probably tells you I only copy small directories (or always have another task I can be doing…)
