Hey,

#curl -v google.com as a metal song is a must see and hear experience. A masterpiece. I just love it.

@bagder i wonder hope that curl can really get a metal music by this command line but it couldn't !

Deception, but i really appreciate this part of great smile in my morning ...

I enjoy it and it give britght my day.

Sandro Gauci

@bagder \m/ not only is this fun music, but greatly adds to my curl appreciation levels

@bagder your best year is (number of year's lines of code remaining X years later)/(number of lines written in that year)

@bagder I think this one turned out to be the most informative one, or at least it piques my curiosity the most.

I think I'll try following along this graph with curl's version history at hand. For example, I now wonder what kind of refactoring happened around late 2011 - the older code amount drops rather sharply there :)

@bagder oh I wanted follow Andreas on Mastodon but it turns out he doesn't have an account here ๐Ÿ˜ข

@bagder you did the filtering of the cesspit for us, this is fine

Beware, there is an ongoing spambot attack in #GitHub issues in several projects were random people suggest "the fix" is to download a random file from mediafire.com. Like this:

@bagder ah, I got one of those. It seemed to be of low enough priority to safely ignore for the moment, but I now know to ignore it forever. Thanks.

Paul Barker

@bagder I saw one of those yesterday within a minute of someone opening an issue on one of my repos.

Bruno Philipe

@bagder mediafire dot com? that's a name I haven't heard in a long long time

@bagder PHK said if he was the NSA and wanted to undermine encryption on the Internet, an easy way would be to contribute patches with misleading docs, obfuscated code, and deceptive/insecure defaults to create the OpenSSL's API.

Thank you Crowdstrike for helping to illustrate that Open Source is not the problem.

@bagder very challenging situation ... distributed system design is hard.

@bagder And your evil tool curl that downloads malware ๐Ÿ˜‚ ...(if someone is stupid enough to CURL whatever URL)

Ads on the web don't actually *need* user tracking. Browsers don't *have to* cooperate with those who want to surveil us.

scrottie (he/him/they)

@bagder always thought that when apps demanded access to the microphone to work, or demanded location, there should be a "yes but send fake data" option. The OS/browser/whatever should be on my side there. If the webpage coordinates so heavily with third party ad networks that the page won't load without ad metrics, then be on my fucking side here and send fake data. Spam the spammers. Is that so wrong?

:blahaj: Why Not Zoidberg? ๐Ÿฆ‘

@bagder Said it before; a lot of the time pages I like ask me to disable my adblocker.

I do so, but then the page still don't recognize that the adblocker is off as long as you still block trackers.

So then I enable my adblocker again, because fuck them.

@bagder well, no, but the marketologists made people believe that :cirno_what:

Some of the emails I get are truly sad reflections of the complicated and rather sorry state of things we are in. Like this.

(also, apparently #curl is used in another popular game)

"Rainbow 6 Siege Activation issue"

steam normally stores the serial/cd key in the settings for that particular game
@bagder

primalmotion

@bagder also, my printer is not working. please fix asap

dbread

@bagder "the state of things we are in"

Is this overcomplicated things? Or even complex things? Or just shite with some platform for games?

Daniel's weekly report April 26, 2024

CI breakage, curl up, docker, hobby, codesonar, feature freeze

daniel:// stenberg://

Today we celebrate the five year anniversary of #curl's bug-bounty. It has resulted in 69 reported vulnerabilities and almost 80,000 USD payouts. Out of a total of 439 submissions. 86 of them were considered "informative", which mostly means they were handled as normal bugs.

Submit your suspected curl securirty issue here: hackerone.com/curl

@bagder

First up, thanks for your hard work on curl.

Second, Iโ€™m going lean into PUT being at least as appropriate as POST on that ad.

๐Ÿ˜‰

Mark Pauley

@bagder PUT is WevDAV specific no? Generally we use POST for this sort of thing.

Apparently San Francisco gets to enjoy #curl command lines in ads...

@bagder Despite working in IT and cybersecurity for nearly 40 years is there still hope left for me that my first thought was "That's an odd way to apply for a Masters in Fine Art" a couple milliseconds BEFORE I thought "Multifactor Authentication"?

josh

@bagder@mastodon.social @traecer@techhub.social Nobody in San Francisco enjoys anything. Theyโ€™re not happy unless they have something to complain about.

David Zaslavsky

@bagder I am no stranger to weird techy ads in Silicon Valley but that's a new one lol

daniel:// stenberg://

and in case you missed it: with the new addition of --ech, #curl now supports 259 command line options

Paul_IPv6

@bagder

uh, congrats? :)

this does bring to mind the internal Sun april fools memo detailing the formation of a new Sun division to support options to "ls"...

@bagder
Finally!

Now I have my closure โค๏ธ

I was reminded of the great #Cisco security fix of 2019

I posted this image on LinkedIn as well, and the stats there tells me that Cisco is in fact now the third most common employing company among the viewers... (only beaten by AWS and Microsoft)

@bagder Learning that this hit them in their holidayโ€ฆ It's the worst time ever.

There will be no rest for him, just due to the situation. I hope he's well and manages to get over this chaos quickly.

Matthias Klumpp

@bagder Thank you! I can't imagine how bad this must feel for Lasse Collin, especially after reading[1].
We're with him and all honest XZ contributors, and they're not to blame ๐Ÿ™‚

1. curl is not made by me alone. I lead the project, we are over a *thousand* authors in total
2. I work full-time on providing curl support to paying customers. Some would call it a business.
3. Not "a" billion people. More like 6 billion or so; every human on the globe that is Internet-connected uses things that use curl - daily.

Coming soon on the #curl website. All TLS related options and which TLS backends that work with them...

daniel:// stenberg://

I'll go with a darker green and put checkmarks there instead "yes". makes it a cleaner feel

Blake Smith

@bagder that is a very impressive, and very comprehensive chart. Well done!
