@bagder "the Bard"

@bagder ...we're going to need to start compiling a global blocklist of AI users, so that not every project has to rediscover the same geniuses, aren't we. :(

@bagder
can you ban a user for that?

New command line options: 1 (total 258)

@bagder wait…. So it’s just a bug? If it overflows it just executes, that’s all? Could an attacker do anything with that?

@bagder sounds like Chatbots are now reporting CVEs -.-

@bagder As a way of saying how old I am without saying how old I am. Mitre used to have a mechanism that potential issues were assigned a CAN-number. Then the elite would vote if it was indeed a vulnerability. If so, a CAN would become a CVE. Of course this soon became a mess as the CANs piled up and checking if a CAN ended up as CVE just for reference became a dreadful chore. I guess you’re on the accepted risk end of the choice made to end the CAN/CVE naming and stick with CVE.

@bagder i have even somewhat ported a part of the easy API to NuttX.

@bagder Happy b'day! 🎉 The modern internet/devops would not be the same without your tools...

@bagder also #curl is way more versatile and useful than #wget and is available as a #standalone #binary:

No need to fiddle with shit: #ItJustWorks!

@bagder@mastodon.social for the uninitiated, what is the NSS TLS library and why was it removed?

@bagder The github issue doesn't give any background for this decision. I'm curious whether there's something terrible about it, or is it just some spring cleaning.

@bagder
> Its quite similar to going back to GOPHER.
It should be noted that Gemini was literally intended as “Gopher but with TLS and more palatable markup” rather than anything related to modern HTTP.

However your other points not related to the markup/visual style are perfectly accurate IMHO

@bagder glad to see your thoughts on the subject

@bagder What kind of requests do you get? I have a feeling a large number of them has to do with certifying various aspects of the security of the software? How about questions about whether your developers are trained?

@bagder suresure but is it on mars yet?

@bagder

Thank you for curl! It's served me quite well over the years, and also served as proof to my engineer colleagues that this Technical Project Manager is no slouch, technically. 😸

@bagder congratulations Daniel!

@bagder
Happy birthday #curl!!!

@bagder wait, why would curl ever pay docker? It's on docker for having a successful ecosystem.

@bagder
Have you evaluated #podman? I'm quite ignorant on the issue but AFAIK it should be a drop in replacement for #docker
@valhalla

@bagder docker images of curl? For what?

@bagder From the Matrix room

@bagder

Anyone know where I can watch the NASA #fosdem keynote online? Will it be on the fosdem website at some point?

@bagder

I frankly turned my head around and thought you'll be out there in the room

btw Steve is at @crawfordsm here

@bagder yes and eventually they'll support #Fediverse addresses instead of mastopub

@bagder A shame that they haven't added support for rel="me" in markdown yet though.

@bagder Couldn't get that to work with my Mastodon account; is this restricted to specific instances?

@bagder i read the "c" as "client" !

@bagder TIL!

@bagder java put it at the end, so URL4J?

@bagder This has also been my experience. Linux and BSD, and anything POSIX-y is usually super-easy to support. Amiga OS is so-and-so. But Windows is terrible. And it says something that Windows is worse than Amiga OS.

@bagder True for PostgreSQL too

@bagder where can i see that list?

@bagder congrats, and thank you!

@bagder

Congrats and thanks for all the work!

@bagder Congrats!

curl -H "Content-Type: application/fika" --data-url-encode "☕ 🍰 " https://curl.se

@bagder Rewriting curl as a shell script with a dependency to curl.

@bagder three days? I can do it way faster: cp libcurl-x.y rewritten-curl 🤣🤪

@bagder thank you for that very clearly written blog post.
