Funny enough, I was just listening to an episode of a podcast that had the inventor and maintainer of Curl on, and they described the methods for bug solving and feature requests.

He said while he largely doesn’t do most of the work, he still reads over code and denies random new internet protocols until it matures, and often by the time they worked have added it in a release the fad is gone.

I forget what they said about bugs, but I do know he said “I have good people who have written more code for my program than myself, and when they find bugs or get issues, i trust them over random github accounts.”

I don’t think this will last long from curl directly, the issue is devices that don’t or can’t be upgraded.

leaky_shower_thought,

With all Curl versions of the past few years being impacted…

oooof. Now I agree it is the worst. At first I really thought it was just something introduced in the past update… or the past major update.

Laser,

I’m still not sure whether there’s a big vulnerability announcement coming up or if this is just one giant shitpost regarding the latest 9.8 CVE

Sounds like they’re staying extremely tight lipped and not even telling the whole team about it. Either they’re being overly-cautious or this one’s a doozy

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Today I learned that GTA5 credits curl.

tdawg,

Oof that billboard. They could have easily done it with:

curl jobboard.com/techJobs

And actually made sense

libcurl is awesome. The fact it’s over 20 years old, is used by a gazillion projects and runs on two planets is proof of its quality.
