With only 5 open issues in the curl project, it's becoming quite urgent to write new bugs!

@bagder See, that is why I add the occasional bug here and there: we need to know what people use!😌

@bortzmeyer looks abandoned to me. I get the impression the QUIC hype is over. 💁🏻♂️

Hit a snag: when curl tries to connect to a unix domain socket, linux gives the same ECONNREFUSED when no one listens on it and when the accept queue is full.I'd like to continue trying in the later case, but failing when no one listens seems more important. meh.Anyone a somehwat portable idea?

If your DNS is not working, just reply with the hostname you need and I do a resolve!Or directly use @DNSresolver #fedidns 😎

The Cloudflare outage was caused by a Rust ‚.unwrap()‘ panic, undistinguishable to the non-connoisseur from a segfault.(Dont @ me with undefined behaviour on mythical systems you cannot name)The effective difference between segfault and unwrap is that the former would have caused a wave of unbearable Rust smugness in my timeline.This way, it‘s just a coding error. We all do those.💁🏻♂️https://blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-2025-outage/

A real Hackerone #curl report title!:"Out-of-bounds read in *** potential crash. This is sharp, <reporter name>. We've got a real memory safety bug"The AI is helpfully cheering the guy onwards to slopping. Of course, it is a false positive.

Ubuntu 15 years LTS. What to think of it?Imagine living on 2010 software today:- OpenSSL 1.0, curl 7.20, gcc 4.4.3, autotools 2.6.8- no http/2, no Lets Encrypt, no Rust or GolangYou‘ll not be able to built todays software on this without upgrading most of the system.But for people needing linux in products with long term contractual support clauses, it may be good business.As a FOSS project, you should drop free support for old releases though.https://canonical.com/blog/canonical-expands-total-coverage-for-ubuntu-lts-releases-to-15-years-with-legacy-add-on

Let‘s Encrypt has made new Root and Intermediate Certs and will start using them now in staging (test) and soon in production, submitting them to root programs (OS and browsers) for inclusion. If you ship a „CA bundle“ somewhere, you should update that once the new roots are added.https://letsencrypt.org/2025/11/24/gen-y-hierarchy.html

Let‘s Encrypt on following new CA standards to reduce certificate lifetimes to 45 days in 2028 - with opt-in steps before that.Also mentions the DNS-PERSIST-01 challenge that will put aways with DNS record updates every time you renew a cert.https://letsencrypt.org/2025/12/02/from-90-to-45.html

AI slop is not only in security reports, but also in teams *handling* security reports:‚The system owner finally relented: “to be honest, I asked ChatGPT and it said that what you said was wrong.”‘To not waste experts any mote, let‘s fully automate this with chat AIs at both ends, leaving the humans to do something meaningful.https://joshua.hu/ai-slop-story-nginx-leaking-dns-chatgpt

Microsoft: „1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code“That would mean @bagderrewriting 5 #curl projects into Rust in a month.Microsoft revising the „rewrite over a weekend“ meme to it actually taking them 6 days. For a person they have not hired yet. With tools they still have to invent.If you are a MS customer, you‘d better start putting more money into Copilot right away!https://www.theregister.com/2025/12/24/microsoft_rust_codebase_migration/

‚…TSMC hiking wafer prices by 20 percent. Huang said such price rises “will continue … going forward.”‘As long as the madness continues, less and less people will be able to afford a personal computer which they control.https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/16/tsmc_q4_2025/

There are good things in the world:Security training on the topic of "do not click links or open attachments" is obsolete now.The AI in your inbox will open all attachments and click on all links. Problem solved.💁🏻♂️
