If there is *any* area that #curl is not best-in-class, we should put in more work and improve curl in that area. While at the same time keep up and polish it in all other aspects.
I'm about to buy the Kindle book UK Christmas Number Ones - 1952-2023: The history of the nation's favourite festive hits and the stories behind them by Felix Mensah.
Two years ago I bought 70 Years of Christmas Number Ones by Andrew Burford. That was very good. So I'll see what new things I can learn from this one.

My sister wants to de-Google as much as practical. She's not a programmer or sysadmin, but I can set up stuff for her. For file storage, including both documents and photos, should I set her up with SyncThing, self-hosted Nextcloud, both, or something else?
in reply to Matt Campbell
I'd go for #NextCloud, they have plenty of other cool apps. If she has no particular accessibility needs, it's a good solution. Otherwise, they have quite a lot of rough edges in their frontend department, unfortunately, but it's still manageable.
in reply to André Polykanine
@menelion Yeah, she's sighted. And I have some usable vision, so I can probably work through the rough edges.
in reply to Matt Campbell
You can do it even if you are blind, but some things are really tough, like the updater or pseudo-combo boxes they use.
in reply to André Polykanine
@menelion I've never played with Nextcloud myself. Personally, I think I'd prefer to have SyncThing, so I can have something like Dropbox but self-hosted. My plan is to set up identical home servers for her and myself, with each server acting as a backup server for the other. I guess that doesn't mean we have to use the same server-side apps though.
in reply to Matt Campbell
I only heard about SyncThing, probably played with it but a long time ago. What are the benefits?
in reply to Matt Campbell
Nextcloud is solid. I've been using a small managed Nextcloud for about 2 years now, never had any issues and I don't have to do the maintenance and updates myself. I use Syncthing on my Android to automatically upload photos and sync a shared documents and notes folder. Works like a charm for now but Syncthing for Android has been retired last month. I don't know if there will be a fork - just something to keep in mind.

Signed up at #BlueSky, just in case. And guess what? I had to ask my wife to help me dealing with gods damned #HateCaptcha. I wish the person who designed such pseudo-accessibility at #HCaptcha was obliged to work without a monitor and without a mouse for a whole month, just for justice.
in reply to André Polykanine
HCaptcha: why should we include an audio captcha when we can instead collect email addresses?! Literally everyone else: ... ... huh?

Why curl defaults to stdout
(Recap: I founded the curl project, I am still the lead developer and maintainer) When asking curl to get a URL it'll send the output to stdout by default.daniel.haxx.se

So when you renew your subscription, you will be charged at the normal price. I think Tuta should explain in their post more detail about it in Mastodon.
amen on this one. O wow you are kidding me. This is the 99999th reason why the mobile version of Facebook shouldn't hav gone away. So on the PC that site defaults to the full FB and it doesn't list the names of the "people you may know". it only mentions how many mutual friends we have got with the person; wow! #accessibility or lack of.

Unknown parent • • •@humm then you look on old man pages. We have no two-space sequences and I know this because I have checks for it.
So which project do you think ships better manpages than curl?
