Rewriting curl would be an excellent exercise in humility, and a great way to learn about the many, many protocols it covers, if you have a few years to burn.
But I wouldn't use my rewrite in production. Just sayin. This is like crypto - you want lots of eyeballs on that code for a long time if you're going to trust it.
I received a phishing attempt recently. They pretend to be @Tutanota The link in the email is to a URL on the 'tutawebmail (dot) wixsite (dot) com' address, likely a COMPLETELY FRAUDULENT WEBSITE THAT SHOULD NOT BE ENTERED CASUALLY INTO A URL FIELD ANYWHERE AT ALL AS IT COULD INSTALL ROOTKITS OR OTHER SHIT ONTO YOUR SYSTEM.

Habe ich ein lock-in Problem, wenn ich in der Zukunft kein Tutakonto mehr habe oder die Tutaserver nicht erreichbar sein sollten? Ich würden Thunderbird gerne mit eurem Client ersetzen - ein Mix aus beruflichen und privaten Mailadressen über zwei Nutzer hinweg. Habe nur zu wenig Einsicht, was passiert, wenn ich kein Tutaaccount mehr habe. (Mit 7+ eigenen Domains)

This crowdfunding thing, where platforms accept money from all over the world but only people based in certain countries can create campaigns, has bugged me a lot, so I wrote about it some more, wondering if it is a symptom of the colonial economic system that ensures money flows in only one direction. Read about it here, and let me know your thoughts!
As I researched crowdfunding options for my next feature film, Big Tree, it pissed me off to discover that all major platforms, including kickstarter, backerkit, and indiegogo, allow creators only …
I've been trying Beeper since this morning and all I can say is that it will surely be my best app of 2025, its secure, open source and it can be self-hosted, truly amazing 🤯
I have been using Beeper for all my channels for the past year now and I can't really imagine ever going back. I love that I don't have to think about which person/conversation is on what platform I just click beeper and type in my friends name...

Friends, Romans, cunts, it is with a heavy heart that we must show you another horrid old-timey patent. The only thing this gizmo has going for it is it would be a great name for a punk band.
Meet the Rectal Dynamo, patented by James B Wagoner in 1912.
If you look at the schematic, you will see that the Rectal Dynamo appears to be a buttplug (with rather an inadequately flanged base). But it's more than just a buttplug: the Rectal Dynamo is an *electric* buttplug.
You might be wondering precisely *why* anyone in 1912 is in need of an electric buttplug. Its inventor politely informs us on the documentation that it is for "treatment of certain diseases" (entirely unspecified) and that "gentle galvanic action is very beneficial".
We hope we don't need to tell any of you that bums and vaginas are two different parts of the anatomy, with different shapes, and different needs. They're not just completely interchangeable holes, whatever electric buttplug inventor James B Wagoner tells you.

So… I'm already starting to think that @Tutanota mail is Not It for me. It keeps treating messages from 404media as Not Trusted (which there doesn't seem to be a way to permanently fix - I can set a sender to Never Trust but not to Always Trust) and sending them to Spam, despite me having already set a rule not to do that. Also, instructions for doing this directly from the message, as shown here: tuta.com/nl/support#spam do not match what I see on the screen.

Tohle je zajímavý kus historie, 50 let #Microsoft 🎂 S MS produkty jsem samozřejmě začínal 🧓, pak jsem měl období, kdy jsem je vyloženě nesnášel (IE atd.). Postupně přišli k WSL a jsou mi vlastně jedno. Největším paradoxem je, že z celé té party TechBro mi dneska Gates s Huang přijdou vlastně nejsympatičtější, mají nějakou morální integritu, vše se netočí jen kolem prachů a vlivu. gatesnotes.com/home/home-page-…
To je veľmi pekne povedané, aj keď je to skôr iba o tom, že BG zostarol (minimálne pre nás, ľudí čo ho vnímajú iba z diaľky) veľmi dobre a je naozaj za sympaťáka. MS, v porovnaní s časmi IE je na tom síce reputačne tiež o dosť lepšie, ale možno ani nie tak vlastnou zásluhou ale okolitým vývojom (v princípe teda súhlasím - dnes je mi s nimi v zásade jedno)
Struggling to make the world a better place? Then how about improving the map of the world by participating in #openstreetmap ? It's like #wikipedia just for maps. It provides a free and open-source alternative to Google Maps. I use it with #osmandapp for car navigation.
The easiest way to participate is probably with streetcomplete.app No prior knowledge necessary. The app guides you to complete missing map data by little quests. Careful though: it's very addictive.
California campuses are searching for answers after dozens of international students had their visas terminated in recent days, a worrying trend for the state’s public colleges and universities.
Early morning swims were a daily ritual for my dad until age and illness took its toll. On a recent visit, I hatched a plan to get him in the ocean again
But I want to have an aside on the level to which people uncritically use the term "foundation models" and discuss "reasoning" of these models, when it is very likely that the models literally memorized all these benchmarks. It truly is like the story of the emperor's clothes. Everyone seems to be in on it and you're the crazy one being like but HE HAS NO CLOTHES. 🧵
There is no difference between the likes of Stanford and any of these companies, they're one and the same. So schools like it make money from the hype and will perpetuate the hype.
The McKinseys and other huge consulting orgs are raking in bank on the hype, akin to all the people who made money during the gold rush, except for the people looking for gold.
All the things people call "laws" aren't laws and were never "laws". Scaling laws? Some people looked at some plots and came up with that.
-"Reasoning"? Lets set aside how they don't even have a definition for this. But literally change some minor thing on the benchmarks like a number, and you see how these models completely fail. arxiv.org/pdf/2410.05229
-"Understanding"? Just watch this debate to see the rigor with which Emily discusses the topic vs those who make these wild claims: lnkd.in/e6bgM-43.
If you come up with a new benchmark they'll just guzzle it as part of the training data and then claim to do "reasoning" on that.
It is so mind-boggling to me that people have to even spend time debunking these claims. Such a waste of resources that could be going to doing actual science and engineering work.
"Marcus is so confident current approaches cannot take us to the promised land of AGI that he bet Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei $100,000 that AGI would not be achieved by the end of 2027."
Lol but he signed the ridiculous "pause AI" letter with Muskrat and other billionaires and said that DAIR "went for blood" when we wrote this statement against it.

President Donald Trump made the bold claim that his economy is “hugely much stronger” than that of the administration of about 10 minutes ago after a surge in the stock market due to the repeal of most proposed tariffs.

To Americans, pharmaceutical healthcare is nothing but dollars. Eliminating human need is an attack on US billionaires and their exploitive profits.
The "insulin industry" is particularly disgusting when you realize that when Frederick Banting discovered insulin in 1923, he refused to put his name on the patent because he felt it was unethical for a doctor to profit from a discovery that would save lives, so Banting’s co-inventors, James Collip and Charles Best, sold the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for a mere $1 since they wanted everyone who needed their medication to be able to afford it.
Americans profiteers then went on to patent every method of manufacturing this "free invention" for their own profit.
In the rare cases when the IRS has enough resources to audit you and detect your fraud, there will still be no one to enforce the law. Trump's DoJ is shutting down the entire tax division.
"If you make more than, say, a million dollars a year, paying taxes is probably going to be voluntary going forward.
I didn’t know this until this morning. And I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten more press attention. We know that DOGE is in the process of gutting the IRS.

Just noticed that most shopping-list apps at PlayStore come with plenty of ad modules – how "fitting". One had 30 of them! Then I took a look at those served by F-Droid and IzzyOnDroid: no ad modules at all (often not even the Internet permission).
Oh, btw: Do you remember the times where the tech websites had interesting articles explaining tech – and not, as today, 80% or more of their articles just appraising what you should buy (phones, powerbanks, watches – save 20% today, 30% tomorrow)?
Wait: you DO remember them? Are you really THAT OLD? 🧓 🙊 💨
The one feature I'm missing with many free shopping list apps: Being able to share different lists with different people. One list that both my wife & I can edit and sync. So I can be sure to have the latest version sync'ed on my smartphone. And other lists that I can share & work on with e.g. a friend that I'm organizing a dinner with...
Android only would be OK, multiplatform would be a big plus, as I prefer to compile lists on my desktop computer...
@tetrapyloctomist I vaguely remember having heard such an app mentioned, but I cannot remember which one it was. Not using any such myself, sorry (I was just updating the list and made "that observation" – which is not limited to that category anyhow…)
@tetrapyloctomist Not sure how helpful, it's probably enormous overkill if you're not interested in smart home stuff, but given I already have Home Assistant running I use a Home Assistant todo list as shared and syncing shopping list (active internet connection needed). I think Grocy can sync a shopping list too, but it also requires you to set up a server yourself. I don't know anything FOSS that needs less steps sadly.
@SylvieLorxu @tetrapyloctomist Not strictly a shopping list, but Nextcloud has a pretty nifty Notes app and sharing works just like with regular files.
@nmaggioni which reminds me of Markor, an Android Markdown editor with support for lists and more. Would then of course need something to sync those files, not sure how reliable the Nextcloud app is in that context (but any app that can sync via WebDAV should do; if you know a nice small FOSS app syncing via WebDAV *and* scp, I'm all ears)… @SylvieLorxu @tetrapyloctomist
* BLEtoMQTT: Android BLE to MQTT bridging service 🛡️ * IPerf3Client: active measurements of the max bandwidth on IP networks 🛡️ * Stepsy: a simple and lightweight step counter app 🛡️ * LinkGuardian: Android client for Linkwarden
