Running curl http://mydevice.local on a network where the device resolves to an IPv6 link-local address fails with EINVAL since 8.20.0. The connect() syscall gets sin6_scope_id=0 which is invalid f...

Tech-Giganten verdienen Milliarden mit Open Source. Open-Source-Entwickler? Die bekommen Burnout. 😡

Thanks for the link.
I got around the paywall by downloading it with curl.

Sam Altman May Control Our Future—Can He Be Trusted?

New interviews and closely guarded documents shed light on the persistent doubts about the head of OpenAI, Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz write.

Oops, I almost missed that the #curl logo celebrates 10 years these days:

a new curl logo

The original logo for the curl project was created in 1998 by Henrik Hellerstedt. When we started version controlling the web site contents in June 2001 it had already been revised slightly and it looked like this I subsequently did the slightly refreshed version that's been visible on the site since early 2003 which sort … Continue reading a new curl logo →

"Non ce la facciamo più": l'allarme dietro curl, software usato su 30 miliardi di dispositivi

Il fondatore di curl descrive l'aumento delle segnalazioni di sicurezza, la pressione sui manutentori open source e i limiti del modello attuale. Un'analisi, a tratti molto amara, da non perdere.

⚙️ Imagine all #FOSS projects taking a one-week break at the same time.

🔒 No one reviewing or fixing #security bugs in #curl, the #Linux kernel, #Firefox, #Tor, ...

📦 🌑 #Codeberg and #Forgejo going dark. #Debian and #Arch mirrors disappearing. #PyPI, #npm, #crates.io, #docker. #CI pipelines stopping.

Just thinking. ❤️

Da reissen sich wenige den Arsch auf, um milliardenfach verwendeten Code stabil zu halten. Nicht nur, dass KI-generierte Bugs die Arbeitszeit der Entwickler vervielfachen. Und das alles noch für lau. Und dann drücken sich ausgerechnet die Milliardenschweren Unternehmen, welche Nutznießer sind, finanzielle Unterstützung zu leisten. Man darf nicht vergessen, das Fundament dieser Unternehmen fußt auf der Arbeit von Open Source Idealisten, welche mal gar nichts von den Milliardengewinnen haben. Irgendwann wird Open Source aussterben und diese milliardenschweren Unternehmen haben ein Problem, und wir auch.

Kommentar: Open-Source-Entwickler arbeiten sich an AI-Bugs krank

Arbeitsverdichtung erzeugt Überlastung bei Entwicklern. Unternehmen scheffeln Milliarden dank Open Source und geben kaum zurück, findet Christopher Kunz.

@bagder nice principles...

I'll keep the "we are here for our users" , as i'm one of them!

I use #curl every now and then... #thanks for such a powerful 'swiss knife'
