When you‘re low on RAM, I recommend using a recent #curl for your internet transfers.
It can shuffle gigabytes back and forth using a few MB of your memory (mostly used by openssl).
If you develop an application, you can use #libcurl to gain its benefits.
Need to shape your traffic? For example bc you run a streaming service? #libcurl does that for you for all HTTP versions.
Today, twenty-nine awesome years ago, httpget 0.2 shipped. Unfortunately, both the source and the changelog for this release have been lost in time (like tears in rain).
httpget was the precursor to what later would become #curl
The internet, and the web, was different in 1996.
Five years ago I started getting these emails about #curl from NASA. Months later we learned this probably was related to them using curl in the Mars Helicopter mission.

Not everyone understands how open source is made. I received the following email from NASA a while ago. Subject: Curl Country of Origin and NDAA Compliance Hello, my name is [deleted] and I am a Supply Chain Risk Management Analyst at NASA.daniel.haxx.se
You weren't tempted to ask "Before I spend time responding, first tell me what amount of NASA's $22.6 billion budget has been donated to the curl project to keep it going?"

@miki It does feel that way, yes. "This one recorded the on location audio for the scene where the Dursleys go to the zoo. This guy recorded his gardener snake in the back yard. This lady over here supervised them. These people over there assisted them, by hanging the microphones."
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for everyone involved getting credit, but there are hundreds of names here for not even 9 hours of audio, which is just insane.

Such a useless announcement. What's the point, to stoke fear? It's certainly not educational or informative

Pigments 7 is out! I'll probably cover the new stuff briefly, too.
Wednesday I'll be streaming Pigments: "Draw The Rest of the Owl," or How & Why to finish your synth sounds. Subscribe to my YT channel and turn on notifications so you don't miss it, or just watch this space. https://www.youtube.Ether Diver (Mastodon)

Reading the RSS 2.0 specification and found this: "The purpose of the <textInput> element is something of a mystery. You can use it to specify a search engine box. Or to allow a reader to provide feedback. Most aggregators ignore it."
This, right here, back in 2002, was when the web went wrong. We don't know what it's for or why it exists, and everybody ignores it, but it's part of the standard anyway!
Also, bonus fun: RSS 0.9 claims to be RDF but isn't, RSS 1.0 really is RDF but is incompatible with RSS 0.9, RSS 2.0 is incompatible with all of the above, and Atom is the modern W3C format that is incompatible with everything else and nobody uses. And everyone wonders why normal people don't use RSS.
I learned all this because I wondered why my static website generator wants to produce feed.rss, feed.rdf, and feed.atom.

Love these guys. The keys player/producer is Greg Kurstin, really talented guy who's worked with lots of artists.

I just got over my addiction to chocolate, marshmallows and nuts.
I won’t lie, it was a Rocky Road.
Spellcheck isn’t very rock and roll.
Just ask Megadeth.
It has come to my attention that the artwork for the original mozilla.org "dinosaur" logo is not widely available online. So, here it is.
As I explained in some detail in my 2016 article "They Live and the secret history of the Mozilla logo", I commissioned this artwork from Shepard Fairey to use as the branding of the newly-founded mozilla.org and our open source release of the Netscape source code, which eventually became Firefox. This happened in March 1998...

#AndroidAppRain today brings you 26 updated and 1 added apps:
* FireWall Blocks: a firewall blocking internet access via Shizuku or VPN 🛡️
At our RB builder today, we had to fight with a load of failed RBs. Half we were able to fix, the other half not (mostly due to build timestamps and "dirty build"). So a call to the devs to please take care, see e.g. our corresponding hints: izzyondroid.org/docs/reproduci…
Now, enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo 
some hints for developers who want their app to become/stay reproducibleizzyondroid.org
