A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

10K curl downloads per year The Linux Foundation, the organization that we want to love but that so often makes that a hard bargain, has created something they call “Insights” where they gather lots of metrics on Open Source project. I held back so I never blogged and taunted OpenSSF for their scorecard attempts that were always lame and misguided. This Insights thing looks like their next attempt to “grade” and “rate” Open Source. It is so flawed and full of questionable details that I decided there is no point in me listing them all in a blog post – it would just be too long and boring. Instead I will just focus on a single metric. The one that made me laugh out load when I saw it. ## Package downloads They claim curl was downloaded 10,467 times the last year. (source) Number of curl downloads the last 365 days according to Linux Foundation What does “a download” mean? They refer to statistics from ecosyste.ms, which is an awesome site and service, but it has absolutely no idea about curl downloads. How often is curl “downloaded”? curl release tarballs are downloaded from curl.se at a rate of roughly 250,000 / month. curl images are currently pulled from docker at a rate of around 400,000 – 700,000 / day. curl is pulled from quay.com at roughly the same rate. curl’s git repository is cloned roughly 32,000 times / day curl is installed from Linux and BSD distributions at an unknown rate. curl, in the form of libcurl, is bundled in countless applications, games, devices, cars, TVs, printers and services, and we cannot even guess how often it is downloaded as such an embedded component. curl is installed by default on every Windows and macOS system since many years back. But no, 10,467 they say.

I keep getting offers from randos offering to setup various crypto currency things to sponsor me or curl.

I will NEVER agree to have my name associated with any crypto currency

BankID-appen med nye krav: Nå må du bekrefte identiteten din Mange appbrukere av BankID vil få beskjed om at de må gjennomføre en ID-kontroll for å fortsette å bruke appen.

Jeg er skeptisk til å sende inn kopi av passet mitt som skal lagres i en hackbar database.

gitlab has like three functions I ever want to use, "repo", "merge request" and "issue". Why they are hidden among three dozen useless features I'd never use under multiple levels of headings in a sidebar is beyond me.

#gitlab is such a UX/UI shitshow. I was looking where the fuck they hid the issue tracker when re-designing their clusterfuck of an UI this time around. Turns out, issues are now "work items" because clearly the term "issue", used by every single git hosting platform ever, was just too obvious […]

Looks like the #LumaFix64 and #RetroScaler2x do NOT like each other. That's not how it is supposed to look like. No matter how much I adjusted the pots.

Tried in both my working C64s, same result.

Folkeavrøysting om islandsk EU-medlemskap Den islandske regjeringa har bedt Alltinget godkjenne ei folkeavrøysting om Island skal gjenoppta søknaden om EU-medlemskap.

Heia Island! Og så Norge inn i #EU etterpå, så blir det prefekt!

I watched this week's episode last night, and was a bit taken aback by the explicit opening... That's a first.

Looks like they are continuing the arc with the main adversary, probably setting up for a big finish later?

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Isn't it crazy that Israel have the technology to kill Khamenei on any random weekend, yet when it comes to 'taking out Hamas leaders they were "forced to bomb children?

The entity running the white house has really been busy this weekend deflecting attention from the Trump-Epstein™ files, starting a new Trump-Epstein™ Iran war.

They were wondering how to spend all that extra hundreds of billions of dollars they allocated to the military-industrial complex. Now they know.
