After just having responded to the third #curl security report for the evening I noticed a post that cheered me up...

@bagder you wouldn't happen to be in Nebraska, by any chance?
edit (thankyou mastodon!) - I can see that you're not, but it still applies 100 fold:
Thankyou for all that you do.

@bagder together with BusyBox, you might be on more devices than the Linux kernel....

@bagder I also really like Daniel

#grep #curl

@bagder Today I was in a directory of projects and I wanted to see some files where I was using or referencing the curl command.

# grep -r ' curl ' * 2> /dev/null | wc -l

95

️ Much love to you and curl.

@bagder As it turns out, I have heard of him

[jairajdevadiga@mastodon.social]

@leoncowle @bagder To be fair, he was talking to LinkedIn users.

[ulyssesalmeida@bolha.us]

@bagder Moe has a point.

@bagder

Good chap to have a beer with too!

@gusseting

hehe. You beat me to it.

@bagder

Thanks you for your time and effort.

@bagder to me you'll always be the one that kind of made my Archos Jukebox work in Linux.

My memory is very hazy. I was trying to find a way to contribute but was absolutely clueless on Linux driver workings so this never got anywhere. But the haxx.se domain name somehow did get ingrained in my memory

@bagder read this to my wife. Who is a social worker. „This is what drives us.” She can relate and finds it quite cool.

My code is in 4 car brands that I know of only. But I am working for more. They tend to pay my employer, though

[bagder@mastodon.social]

@dtemme it was @bjst my brother who did that Linux driver!

[samueljohnson@mstdn.social]

@bagder Show your family, frame it and hang in the hall. Thoroughly deserved. And known to many more than you may have imagined.

[bjst@mastodon.social]

@bagder @dtemme

[dtemme@hachyderm.io]

@bjst @bagder apologies! Very hazy memory indeed. 🫣

A belated thanks in any case!

Looking forward to a spate of LinkedIn posts on “Daniel Stenberg’s morning routine” and “Daniel Stenberg’s engineering success secrets”

@bagder at my first professional game dev job in ~2006 I used libcurl to make our game talk to a web server for UGC uploads and downloads.
At my current game dev job I'm using libcurl to talk to a web service for internal telemetry of a game dev tool.
Thanks so much for the great library Daniel

[sociableporcupine@mastodon.ie]

@bagder Thank you for everything you do ️

[winniehell@mastodon.de]

@bagder that dependency on a single software or even person feels problematic to me (not your fault obviously) but I'm very grateful for one of my favorite command line tools! ️
