I hear you loud and clear Nobel Prize, you don't want to be left off of the AI hype train.
Next will be a Nobel peace prize for "AI safety."
Don't they supposedly wait for decades before seeing the impact, like new drugs that were created or something like that, before awarding Nobel Prizes?
Internet Archive's "The Wayback Machine" has suffered a data breach after a threat actor compromised the website and stole a user authentication database containing 31 million unique records.

well done to everyone involved in making usb so complicated that now the only way to understand what it's doing is to put diagnostic screens on charging cables
just a really solid set of decisions all the way down
Someone is DDOSing the internet archive, so we've been down for hours. According to their twitter, they're doing it just to do it. Just because they can. No statement, no idea, no demands.
Meanwhile, we literally rescued 400,000 dissertations from being pulped.
I like our side.
When your #curl command line is rejected by the server but your browser still works, it might be because of TLS fingerprinting.
I blogged about this two years ago: daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/09/02…
“Let us come back to this topic in a few years and see where it went.”
It is exactly a few years 😀
So where has the topic gone?

Announcing the Cartoonists for Kamala fund raiser! Many cartoonists have donated original art of their work (not just a print!) for the auction where all the funds will go directly to the Harris-Walz campaign.
Here's a link to get you started. More art will be added over the next couple of days as this kicks into gear.
I had posted this yesterday. Contains a couple of extra details

Fucking infuriated to recent see a tech writer call Safari a Chrome based browser

The article linked in my last boost (baldurbjarnason.com/2024/lisko… by @baldur) has buried in it the following unequivocal statement:
":And none of us should be using React."
I think those of us who agree with this message (I think I do) could do a better job of communicating it to those who aren't following the web development discourse. As far as my non-developer business partner knows, for example, React is still an uncontroversial industry standard.
@AKernelPanic and I recently went on the #AskNoahShow to talk about the upcoming Ubuntu Summit and the excellent speakers coming this year. We have folks coming from @matrix and @frameworkcomputer, but that's not all! You can hear all about this Summit this year and what we have planned by tuning into Noah's podcast 🎙️
The Ubuntu Summit is free to attend, with both in-person and remote attendance options. Use the link below to register 👇
In the spring, we conducted a survey asking the community a wide range of questions to help shape a fellowship for open source maintainers. This new 12-month program supports the people who work on critical digital infrastructure. Here are some of the insights we uncovered.

Apply for the fellowship through Sunday, October 20, 2024.
We're directly investing in the people behind the code. In the first year, we are allocating five available fellowship slots as follows: one employee and up to four freelance contractors.

Tak po dovolenkove pauze uz zase jedeme kampane. Prave jsme spustili prvni fazi pro Asher Rotha.
Ma upravene UI (mene naseho brandu, vice umelce) a je rozdelena na 4 casti. Postupne bude pribyvat hudba, vinyl, challenge i merch.
Tuto nebude nikde na streamu. Jako fakt Unreleased. To me tesi dvojnasob.
Pri tuneni noveho stylu pro kampane jsme si hodne hrali s fonty. Bitvu fontoveho parovani zatim drtive prohravame.
Kombinace, co se nam libila byl napriklad ten SUSE (ted ho tam mame jako Body i Display) a NeueBit, ktery tomu dodal krasnou umeleckou pixelovatost. Bohuzel je pekelne drahy a alternativy jsme nenasli.
@jiri_toman nedokazal by si pomoctct nejakou profesionalni radou?

replaced by strlcpy?
daniel:// stenberg://
in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •as I have mentioned elsewhere I have worked fiercely on reducing memory calls and memory copies in curl code over the last few years, and I have come to realize that strncpy is often a marker for questionable code decisions, so I have worked on removing those questionable code paths.
As I have reduced the amount already before, the remaining few uses were not hard to just fix with better conditions and improved logic

before any user could be a determined (and well-resourced) adversary or a mind bogglingly careless idiot. haha

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •while I understand that C was always ever meant as a relatively light abstraction, I still don't understand why native string handling was never incorporated. Dealing with strings is relevant in _so_ many use cases, that not having a sane and safe abstraction for it is just asking for trouble.
I think that's one of the first things Borland improved on in their derivates of Pascal.
