Contemplating implementing syslog support for something and holding back mostly because I don't want to pull in strftime.

@ryanc Uhg that's cursed. I'd avoid it in musl except strftime is super small anyway, nothing really to be saved by open coding it.

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@dalias I'm doing static builds against musl for this thing, actually.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@ryanc Don't sweat it then. 3.6k for strftime.

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@dalias On 32 bit Arm? I was a bit upset that getpwnam added over 10k.

Then again, I cut down the binary size by over 100k by not linking in libpcap...

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@dalias It turns out that libpcap exists for a reason, and doing packet capture without it is genuinely painful.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@ryanc I would guess less there. 32bit arm is among the most efficient instruction encodings.

[ryanc@infosec.exchange]

@dalias Funny you say that, because this thing compiles 58.8k with musl/armlv7 and 18.6k for musl/x86_64.

@ryanc

Ugh. The syslog protocol is so, so bad. Somebody at UC Berkeley must've been on some heavy narcotics.

@argv_minus_one Go read the TOTP RFC.
