Remember Uncurled, my little ebook about running Open Source projects?I switched infra behind it and now I host the thing myself. Still available on the same good old URL:https://un.curl.dev/

@bagder This has to be chatgpt?

@Edent oh man didn't look at those before. It's like the battle of the AIs and we can clearly see which of the AIs that lost!

Hey,#curl -v https://google.com as a metal song is a must see and hear experience. A masterpiece. I just love it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atcqMWqB3hw

@bagder I first thought it was one of those electronic pianos and that there's somehow curl in there

I looked at the first ten minutes of the GitHub Universe intro yday and the frequency of AI getting mentioned exhausted my ears immediately and I had to shut down the stream and go do something useful. For health reasons.

Eleven years ago, the only long-lived #libcurl fork I am aware of was made: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2013/10/27/he-forked-off-libgnurl/It existed for several years, but it seems to be completely gone now.

Three years ago I blogged about #OpenSSL's decision to deliberately block #QUIC progress in the world: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/10/25/the-quic-api-openssl-will-not-provide/Which is timely with the OpenSSL 3.4.0 release announced just days ago: that still does not offer a working (and performant) QUIC API. (yes, there is an attempt there but it's not production grade)It's almost like the writing was on the wall already a long time ago.

@bagder Public appreciation for Free Software is such a rare thing. I am glad you received it at least once. Too few people realize that #curl practically runs the Internet – much like Apache & nginx, but on the client side.There should be more #ILoveFreeSoftware days, medals, and other forms of appreciation.

@grishka I have many more such examples: https://bagder.github.io/emails/

@bagder Well, that's a lot
