It is already six years ago #curl introduced bold names when showing headers in the terminal!

@bagder a bold decision!

Out of the several hundred persons who saw my two talks during the weekend. One(!) has provided feedback using the site. On the bad mike/speaker setup.

My point is mostly to fellow speakers: don't assume people will use that system to say anything. Good or bad.,

I had maybe 20 people tell me to my face they liked one or both of my talks. A better feedback channel!

@peturdainn @bagder My first FOSDEM was 2002, although I did also go to OSDEM in 2001 :)

Today, seven years ago, "borrowed" the concept of using :// in the logo:

Is Imitation the Sincerest Form of Flattery ?

@bagder I remember experimenting with logos over coffee at fosdem. Good times!

We are happy to tell you that we accept your proposal "Broom not included: curling the modern way" in the Network devroom at 2024.

It looks like I will blab at FOSDEM again.

@bagder "Brotli in curl" or "Header compression in h2" feel like ideal subjects!

I found out about and started using Emacs in the 1991-1992 time frame to write C code.

Over thirty years later I still today primarily write C code using Emacs. All day, every day.

Any bets on what I will use to write what in another thirty years? =)

@bagder curl, with emacs, in c89!

doing multiple things at the same time is not good, and double so if one of them is updating your system... 😐

suddenly my debian sid lost network connectivity and so do check this bug

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1055067

before updating (and watch carefully, as it ended up removing network-manager here

FrankGevaerts,
@FrankGevaerts@mastodon.social avatar

@peturdainn I agree with those things. I removed network-manager years ago :)

    @peturdainn Een bekende tegenkomen leidt dikwijls tot stoppen om te roddelen over andere bekenden, dus dat is geen foute reactie

    Daughter has tech lessons at school but I sure wish the teacher would know something about it. Came home with a schematic that connects a solar panel to a battery to charge it.
    Wrote a note to please not actually try that unless in the open and with plenty of room in case of explosion.
    Hope that will get her worried enough.

    @peturdainn as a child I once connected an AA cell to 220V mains, keeping a (what I thought was a) safe distance. Nothing!

    aaargh my daughter just ripped the cover of her laptop at the hinge

    at least it's a lenovo so I have the service manual already and can easily buy the parts, still looks like a >100EUR repair 😐

    FrankGevaerts,
    @FrankGevaerts@mastodon.social avatar

    @peturdainn make sure you replace all cracked plastic nearby. The plastic is essential to prevent flex in the metal parts, and flex means metal fatigue which means more repairs in six months.

    I may or may not be speaking from experience...
