Four years ago we introduced this #curl graph

@bagder Any idea if it will be included in the Dragonfly mission to Titan (though that would be a moon not a planet...)
Show threadMatej ZavrΕ‘nikApr 21
@ben @bagder They are all "worlds". Planet definition shouldn't matter. It will be three worlds that curl is used on ;)
Show threadKaitoApr 21
@matejpp @ben @bagder could rename the graph for simplicity?
Show threadJulian Andres Klode πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆApr 21

@matejpp @ben @bagder No No don't go down that slippery slope, stick with the standard definition of "whole of reality".

This becomes incredibly important because a lot of licenses grant you "worldwide" rights.

Show threadJulian Andres Klode πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆApr 21
@matejpp @ben @bagder extending the concept to the many worlds theory, aka the multiversum, implies that a single world/universe/cosmos/reality is simply a coherent set of possible realities (or facts).
Show threadJulian Andres Klode πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆApr 21

@matejpp @ben @bagder the question of software licensing across different realities of course is tricky.

So curl places no "worldwide" restrictions on its use but if you cross into another reality where curl is GPL-3 how does that affect your license and who will believe you?

All these worlds are curl's, except Europa. Attempt no GETs there.

@bagder I suppose if you instead ask "Number of computers running curl outside of earth", it would already be too many to count?
Show threaddaniel:// stenberg://Apr 21
@roseen it would be really hard to get an accurate number...
Show threadsarah connor 🌲πŸͺApr 25
@bagder @roseen I know for certain of around a dozen LEO and GEO satellites that actively use curl

One of the CLPS lunar lander program contestants used curl pretty heavily on their lander though sadly they went bankrupt before getting a chance to land on the moon

@bagder β€œNo new planets added for four years. Is curl losing its appeal?”

I'm mostly a bit miffed that #curl hasn't measurably been on the moon yet πŸ˜‚

@bagder

Who knows if someone uploaded the source code to the Trisolaris system or wherever? Hmm or maybe some alien species developed their own version in Rust based on earth's code.

We really don't know.

Show threadMax ResingApr 21
@bagder - wouldn't you expect that any of the soft landing moon probes have it installed?
Show threadPinkApr 21
@resingm @bagder I don't think the moon qualifies as a planet
Show threadMax ResingApr 21
@can @bagder - that's for sure. But the moon is already a rocky celestial body that is significant enough to be perhaps considered by this statistic.
Show threadMcTwistApr 21
@bagder The moon isn't a planet, but you could modify the graph to be "terrestrial bodies". 😁
Show threadspvApr 21
@bagder how does it feel to have written code running on another planet
Show threadJann HornApr 21
@bagder is it running there with ridiculously high timeouts?

@bagder And Space is closer to Mars then you might think

What if the graph begun at the beggining of time (1970) and started at 0 planets?

True, I was just thinking of other celestial bodies where curl might be found.

@bagder They have used ALSA on Mars already... are you sure there's no curl (or at least libcurl) there?

@wonka maybe I should make a graph about it? Wait, I already did...
