Problem with that is (besides occasional bugfixes), most people including myself would see #curl to be functionally complete and anything "nice to have" would be considered not worth the balooning in #complexity and #size.
I mean, does curlneed to be able to do #BitTorrent (magnet:), #IPFS (ipfs://) or god forbid #blockchain (i.e. #EVM) support?
Do you really want to integrate @torproject / #Tor support natively into curl when using #HTTP (localhost:8118) and #SOCKS5 (localhost:9050) #proxy allows for the same and doesn't necessitate having to handle and ingest Tor arguments as well??
Maybe someone who wants to have said functionality like tor support built-in will go and IDK make i.e. #[url=https://infosec.space/tags/neocurl]neocurl[/url] or sth. along those lines or build something like #[url=https://infosec.space/tags/ethcurl]ethcurl[/url] or #[url=https://infosec.space/tags/tor]tor[/url]curlor #[url=https://infosec.space/tags/ipfs]ipfs[/url]curl or whatever...
That being said I am glad curl isn't solely maintained by you but has other contributors (give them a shoutout!) but I also am glad you maintain that vital software that most "#TechIlliterate #Normies" most likely never heard of but propably use on a daily basis as part of all the #tech they use to #consume media with...
I consider curl to be "the #vim of downloaders" (tho that's kinda insulting and limiting since curl is more than just a downloader and more intuitive than vim) with wget being "the #vi of downloaders" (tho wget is even simpler to use than vi)...
I have certain paths, which are too long to type, so I need to wrap all those in one script as alias and source that script to my existing package code.
These should set alias permanently over that
@kkarhan @torproject was curl complete in 2005? Was it complete 2015? Is it complete 2025? Did the Internet and software in general stop developing? Everything keeps moving and changing. New ways, new protocols, new paradigms. We work on making sure that curl remains with the times, providing the best internet transfers with the features users want. So yes, it keeps developing.
@kkarhan @torproject Looks like the changes in the world force curl to adapt, but the nice thing is curl has a stable API and CLI, which means the disruption doesn't propagate further.
No matter how much the world changes, you can still use the latest curl the same way you used an older version of curl. And I think that's valuable.
@wolf480pl @kkarhan @torproject that's is one of our foundational rules. We don't break existing use cases. We intend to always remain the reliable trusted shoulder you can lean on.
Of course it is, but it's easy to measure. Lots of metrics are like this: we pay attention because it's easy to measure, and meaningless enough that we can create a favorable narrative
I'm a little surprised that stars are valued that much when people evaluate a repo. Number of contributiors and recent activity seems like such more obvious metrics to use... 🤔 Then again, few things really are obvious...
New year, new release! In version 3.6 our code contributors added: 🧭 Bottom navigation (enable it in Settings > User interface, and give us some feedback on the forum) ↕️ Change order of menu items 🚮 Trash all played episodes from Downloads screen 🏠 Neater Home screen with empty sections 📶 Remember choice when attempting downloads via mobile data
first impression: I like the bottom navigation a lot! 🚀
Only drawback so far, but maybe I miss something. On the sidebar I could filter my podcasts by tags which I use a lot to organize my podcasts. With the bottom navigation tags seems to be completely useless, at least I couldn't find a way to access them. It would be great if tags could be added to the bottom navigation to have easy access to some kind of filtered view of my podcast subscriptions.
@bjoern Thanks for the feedback! We have an open enhancement request to display the tags at the top of the subscriptions screen, so they can easily be accessed. We hope that once that's implemented you'll have a good enough replacement for the tags in the side menu. (No concrete timeline at this point, though.)
By "be accessed" do you mean show a list of podcasts with that tag, or a list of episodes from podcasts with the tag? What I am missing with this workflow is being able to list episodes from all podcasts with a specific tag. Will this cover this use case? Or is something similar planned for the Episodes tab?
* Used the „Trash all played episodes” rightaway and deleted 1400 files, freeing up probably 70% of my SD card. That was a feature I was apparently yearning for for a loong time 😃 * Bottom Navigation: Nice, but don't wanna miss the drawer, so doesn't work as replacement for me, switched back
@Friesenkiwi Thanks for the feedback! Why wouldn't you want to miss the drawer? Is there anything that you're missing, or did you notice a clear downside? The idea is to – in the long term – drop the side menu. We believe the bottom menu offers a more modern experience and keeping both would mean increased maintenance work.
@Schaarsen Thanks for the feedback! It's expected that the side menu doesn't open, given that the bottom menu is always visible if enabled. But we should probably disable that setting if the bottom menu is active. We'll look into it!
I see how the bottom navigation is great for many podcast listening flows, but I only use the queue and sometimes manage my podcasts. I would love an option to reduce the navigation to a floating button or top bar button, that opens one specific other page (subscriptions).
@MapComplete Hey ! First time I'm coming on the website mapcomplete.org, and quickly trying the webinterface. I've clicked on the "Sports" tab, and was sad to not see some "disc golf courses" on this menu. wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ke… May be useful for people ? 🥏 😉
Like so many other software projects the curl project has copyright mentions at the top of almost every file in the source code repository. Like Copyright (C) 1998 - 2022, Daniel Stenberg ...
A lot of people in software misunderstood the copyright years. There’s no need to update all your header files—just have your editor stick in the year when you create a file, and then never touch it again.
I think your approach works as well, but I never understood where the concept of “new year, new commit to update all the copyright statements” came from.
@teotwaki what year would you use if your new file gets content copied from some other files, which is quite common? Not even new files are unproblematic.
I stopped adding copyright headers to my source files a very long time ago, so I have to admit I didn’t think about that.
Back in the day when I did do it, I was lazy and just left the year generated by the editor, even when transplanting code. I fully agree with you that’s it’s a pointless exercise and that life is better without the copyright years.
Unless we think civilization destroys itself by that time, I think it's our responsibility to our descendants to make sure than when our software becomes pubic domain, they will know it, it will be clear to them.
@wolf480pl @mirabilos if someone wants to use my code (without adhering to the license) 70 years after I die, I don't think years or not in individual source files is going to stop them.
@mirabilos I've heard of some really messy situations where someone died without writing down their will and everything they owned or had rights to was stuck in a limbo and it was a pain to get the court to allow doing anything with it.
I don't know if that'd apply to copyright. Hopefully showing a git log would be enough to convince the court.
Had a quick look at the Berne Convention you mentioned in the post, and was suprised to learn that even North Korea has signed up. So yeah pretty comprehensive global coverage there.
Já Petru Fialovi jeho ideje věřím. Jeho problémem je, že si kdysi vybral ODS, ve které výrazně točí kormidlem úplně jiná síla, než prozápadní profesor moderního střihu. O tom vše bohužel je. Jinak by pánové Blažek, Vondra ad. nemohli sedět tam, kde sedí.
„Nesmím se bát. Strach zabíjí myšlení. Strach je malá smrt přinášející naprosté vyhlazení. Budu svému strachu čelit. Dovolím mu, aby prošel kolem mne a skrze mne. A až projde a zmizí, otočím se a podívám se, kudy šel. Tam, kam strach odešel, nic nezůstane. Zůstanu pouze já.“ — Frank Herbert: Duna (Litanie proti strachu)
video pekny, rozhodně lepší než to s Nutelou. Tenhle formát Fialovi sedí víc, než Tik Tok style jako dělá Šillerová. Uvidíme u voleb, tam to bude hlavně o tom jestli to hodit ještě Pirátům nebo někomu jinému. Nevím no 🤔
to netvrdím a nechci. Ale pokud budu volit s největším odporem nejmenší zlo, to je úplně celý špatně. Uvidím, jestli s něčím (a s čím) přijde Kalúsek, zda bude mít smysl se tím vůbec zabývat. Každopádně šance na změnu, kterou 5k dostala, prosrala dokonale a se vším všudy. To video je jen zoufalej narcistní pokus - vlastně ani nevím o co. Ze stejně zoufalýho šuplíku jako německý platy. Tak bych to viděl já.
@OttovonWenkoff chlapi do politiky moc nedělám 😁ale upřímně mě ta zhovadilost o německých platech zvedla ze židle.Kort když to vypustil člověk vysokoškolsky vzdělaný...Jako chápu,kdo si nedává cíle tak se nikam neposune...ale já si taky prvně vylezu na Sněžku a pak třeba Gerlachovský Štít....a když to dobře půjde tak i výše....ale nepolezu hned na mt.Everest
Zase na druhou stranu kolik myslíš, že má třeba šikovný topenář v Německu a v ČR? Syn jen elektrikář po vyučení. V práci je tři měsíce a má 30000 měsíčně čistého. V Německu by dostal 1500-1800 euro. Zase už to tak velké rozdíly nejsou. Treba v Mnichově jsou větší platy, ale platíš tam hodně peněz za bydlení. Já ODS stejně volit nebudu, ale pořád lepší než Bureš a aby ministryni financí, dělala ludra co se převléká za hranolku. @OttovonWenkoff
@martin2560 tak vychází to cca1,5 násobek, a to je IMHO pořád sakra rozdíl. Jinak o populistech a fašistech nemluvím, z toho bys mě snad nepodezříval. 😊 Ale z 5k mi přijdou volitelni už jen ⛺, ale se skřípěním zubů...
@OttovonWenkoff Tak 1500 euro je 37500, víc by asi první půlrok nedostal, ale samozřejmě se nechci ODS zastávat. Za mě taky maximálně z nich ⛺ @martin2560
Krásné ráno prvního dne roku 2025 velevážení mastodoníci! 🐕🙋♀️🐈 Pořádně mrazivý den. Na stromech a suché trávě se udělala mrazivá nádhera. Jen se jí člověk nesmí dotknout, ani o ni zavadit, protože jinak okamžitě opadá. Stačí i jen mírný větřík a mezi větvemi to začne šustit, jak se střípky snáší k zemi. A to ticho! Dálnice mlčí. Silnice mlčí. Les spí. Udělejte si i vy nějakou drobnou tichou radost hned po ránu! #dobre_rano #dobréRáno

It is with the Lime Aloud suite that I created my first printable scores for choir, bells and other instruments. On December 15, Yeamans Park Presbyterian Church in Hanahan, SC where I currently serve in the music department, presented five of the ten songs from my "Living That Story" Advent/Christmas musical as part of our "Big Music Sunday." It was an honor to collaborate with the choir, children, bell choir, guest oboist and guest cellist to put this presentation together. My best friend, Audrey, wrote the accompanying script and served as the narrator. She, her guide dog Bernie, the children, oboist, cellist and I all gathered with the choir in the chancel area, and it was truly a joy-filled event!

A photo of part of a tower computer featuring a headphone jack, a knurled dial switch, and a 5-1/4" floppy disk drive. A large sticker on the computer proclaims: "REMEMBER Turn your computer off before midnight on 12/31/99 - BestBuy"
I started a new job not long after Y2K. A friend of mine was already working there. New Years Eve, 1999 the whole IT team was required to work, "just in case". They were all gathered right outside the server room watching the ball drop. Midnight approached, and they started their countdown. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... and at the stroke of midnight, my friend turned off the overhead lights. There were people that were still angry with him for it when I joined the team months later.
