How to verify a release

https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/05/23/how-to-verify-a-curl-release/

How we are not the next xz.

I'm the chap who only uses two protocols in curl.

@jpmens You want us to add DNS queries?😬

@jpmens No plans for neither, rest assured. But we‘ll want to retrieve HTTPS records soon…

I have changed my desktop resolution and it is messing with my mind

@mnot I know about new year resolutions. What are desktop resolutions?

Hot take: major rewrites of large parts of a a complex codebase are almost always a mistake.

@xahteiwi Let me add: "if you do not have enough test cases nailing down the expected behaviour."

And: "if your rewrite will not allow existing tests to run, it is not a rewrite."

I've been at it for a few years, but this is a first for me:

wget curl --silent "<https://api.github.com/repos/....../releases/latest>" | jq -r '.assets[].browser_download_url' | egrep ".tar.bz2$"

Whole list of those which need to be copied out of a PDF ...

wget and curl.

@jpmens You monster!😌

the thing about c++ is you can do

std::numeric_limits&lt;uint32_t&gt;::max()

and be technically correct, portable, more expressive, etc.

or you can just do

UINT32_MAX

which is probably Wrong and Bad in many ways, but has the strong advantage of not sucking ass

@jacqueline But what if the maximum value of an unsigned 32bit number ever changes?😉

The rfc6265bis document - the updated #cookie spec - is now in draft-14: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc6265bis-14.html

It has been in the works for almost a decade by now!

@bagder finally people will be able to use cookies!

@bagder 400, hu? So that cookies from Santa Claus have a chance to still be there next year?

If you have an S3 bucket and someone touches it - even when only getting a „403 Access Denied“ - it makes ding on your credit card.😬

How many authors have their contributions in product source code? How many have had their previous work completely removed. Over time.

The first release with code present authored by 200 persons was done in 2015-04-22. In that release, we had already removed all traces of contributions from 20 authors.

In the latest release, 604 authors' code is still present. 171 authors' work have been replaced.

@icing@chaos.social avatar

@bagder @Ericlaw I believe "removed" is often not correct as well. Often, a line is touched or just moved. Does it then disappear in your stats?

I do not trust passkeys, because I seem no longer to be the one controlling the access.

Instead google or apple are.

Sure, they ask me for my face or thumb, but my brain is no longer a vital part of the process.

I can understand that companies might prefer that. The medium failure rate will be much better the more employees you have.

But for me as an individual the failure impact seems catastrophic, or at least unclear how to mitigate.

@ljrk I use password protected ssh keys and ssh-add.

@mxk @maxheadroom Which password manager do you trust for this? I was once on 1password before they killed local stores. No desire to use cloud storage.

    MySQL folks take a lot of things for granted that are not present in this form in Postgres, and that may be a bad surprise when you try out "the other system".

    MySQL for example has a stable and upwards- and slightly-downwards-compatible on-disk format, mostly. Oracle sometimes forgets how important that is and makes changes, or unannounced changes, and then needs to be corrected, hard, by their development partners and testers.

    But in general the following things are true:

    @isotopp you make that sound as if this was done intentionally.😌
