Two years ago we spotted #curl in the TV series Tschugger:

curl sighting: Tschugger
In the Swiss crime comedy TV series Tschugger, season two episode two at roughly 25:20, there is a shot with a curl command line in a terminal window using an unnecessary --request option.daniel.haxx.se
Una lectura cuidadosa del artículo demuestra tres cosas para nada buenas:
El titular es falso.
Al final, siempre pierde el de siempre: el cliente final!
Los premios pagados no llegan ni al 10 % de lo recibido por las pólizas contratadas.
Al final hay un bocadito de Hacienda, quizás no tan grande pero siempre se paga!
Cómo celebrar el Gordo de Navidad sin sufrir el bocado de Hacienda a los premios de la lotería

Cómo celebrar el Gordo de Navidad sin sufrir el bocado de Hacienda a los premios de la lotería
Ganar un premio importante en la Lotería de Navidad y pensar en el dineral que acaba perdiendo el apostante en beneficio de Hacienda nunca pone de buen humor. El erario se alimenta con el 20 por ciento del importe de los premios superiores a 40.Albert Gimeno (La Vanguardia)
Me parece una gilipollez contratar un seguro por eso, dentro de toda la irracionalidad que es la lotería.
Para eso te gastas el dinero del seguro en una participación de 3 euros del mismo número y te aseguras 378000 euros, que es el 94,5% del premio íntegro, que es 0,5% más de lo que el seguro te da como mínimo. Además no tienes que hacer trámites y no enriqueces a aseguradors.
We're discussing documenting our (#curl's) stance on CVSS like this:
as a maintainer who has to review and define CVSS for other projects' CVEs, providing the level of details that curl does, on top of a severity, is much much more valuable than providing a CVSS vector.
Projects that just provide a CVSS vector without enough details makes it hard for distributors to review and set their own vectors.
Projects that provide all of the details around a CVE allow software distributors to very easily decide on their own CVSS and justify a deviation from NVD.
One of our users has written a book(!) with 261(!!!) pages about cloud services - also secure ones like Tuta.
And it's absolutely free. Possibly a good read for over the holidays. 😉

LibreOffice 24.8.4, optimised for the privacy-conscious user, is available for download - The Document Foundation Blog
Berlin, 19 December 2024 – LibreOffice 24.8.4, the fourth minor release of the LibreOffice 24.8 family of the free open source, volunteer-supported office suite for Windows (Intel, AMD and ARM), MacOS (Apple and Intel) and Linux, is available at www.Italo Vignoli (The Document Foundation)
LibreOffice reshared this.
will this version also be released on the Mac App Store?
The last update there is 4 months old and stuck on 24.2.5, which is not even the last version of the 24.2 EoL branch.
Would appreciate if there’s an update soon. I chose the App Store variants for less tech savvy friends and family for easy automatic updates.

In December of 2016, I made this version of Carol of the Bells using nothing but sounds generated from the KARP Odyssey. I don't remember how many tracks this used. 40 something, I think.
The drums are kind of boring, and in retrospect, I could have done other interesting things, but didn't.
Anyway, have this thing.

On this day 4 years ago, I married @missunderstood. We'd been "together" for 14 years and some change before this through 2 years of college, moving from there in with her parents briefly, then into 2 of our own rentals before having a child, to a third place then me finding a job and finally moving to our current home 10 years ago and buying it a few years later.
She honestly balances me in a way nobody in my life ever has. For everything I can't do well, there she is. Someone I can talk to about anything and laugh with about everything. Someone who, despite waking up together over 6,700 mornings, always has something fresh to say, new to learn, and fun to enjoy. I am never bored in her company and almost always surprised by something new each and every day. Our relationship is one of mutual respect for the other. We have a child, and a home, and a life I would never have imagined back before we met almost 2 decades ago. I go to bed every night thrilled to be next to someone like her.
I'm not sure I believe in a soul mate. Or a soul, for that matter. But sometimes, inevitably due to the infinite diversity out there, 2 things just click together, intended or no. We do. We love it.
Be good if she posted a bit more on her socials, of course. And nobody told me a wedding meant an annual
flower arrangement ...
On the one hand, it was just a bit of paper.
But it was also a lovely day and a memory to cherish.

Journalist Carl von Ossietzky was a constant voice against Nazism and rising militarism in 1920s and 1930s Germany. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for it — and he died for it. In this long read for Atavist, Kate McQueen tells his story. "They may condemn us, today, tomorrow, the day after, [and] we will accept it,” he once wrote. “But our pride will be in … becoming more energetic, sharper, denser and tougher. That’s why we are journalists.”
