Working on new thread pools for #curl to rework the async DNS resolving. This will be useful for performance and resource control, as well as improved happy eyeballing.

This all because simply calling ‚getaddrinfo‘ is not good enough and replacements like c-ares are never 100% compatible to all the quirks that exist „below“ getaddrinfo.

So, here we go.💃

(Writing threaded code always makes me feel real good about myself until it all blows up in my face. So, fun!😌)

I did not do any weekly email last week, and I suspect this Friday email might go longer than usual after a busy two-week period.

Welcome Juan Belon as #curl commit author 1442: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/19744

Hot take: If we added a "--install" option to #curl, we could optimize many a "| sh -" pipeline away.

Finally a truly universal installer.

When changing trains on my way from Vienna airport, I noticed someone tagged "CURL" on a wall. Obviously, there's an open source minded individual running by the street name of #curl somewhere around Vienna ;-)

GUIs are very nice yes, but nothing makes you feel quite as powerful as a successfully chained command line pipeline.

For example, taking a massive log file and filtering it through cat | grep | awk | sort | uniq -c to find the exact problem in seconds is a form of wizardry that modern UI simply cannot replicate.

Sometimes I believe the pipe | might be the single greatest invention in computing history lol 😋

today I taught someone about --connect-to in #curl and they were like "wow that's sick" and it made my day

FOSDEM achievement = unlocked: yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting @bagder in person and grab some cool #curl stickers, yay! 🥳

I was really sad to miss his keynote (early train, sigh), but I'm planning to watch it online.

It was amazing to meet so many wonderful people at #FOSDEM... I've already started a countdown on my phone for the next edition. I can't wait.

And now: reviewing hundreds of photos I took with my phone and my Canon DSLR. The nostalgia is real 🥲
