#curl can download a single transfer HTTP/1.1 (clear-text) 100G file from localhost at 5674473589 bytes/sec on my machine.
That's a lot of bytes every second.

We should change #curl 's progress bar to show '3.5" Floppy Discs / second(FLOPS)'.
It's just gives a better speed idea.😌

Since they feel so strongly about helping the #curl project I told them to look into https://curl.se/sponsors.html
Welcome to try out #curl 8.22.0-rc1 https://curl.se/rc/
Thanks for flying curl.
It might be time for #curl performance/benchmark testing:

#curl
When I try to explain to non-tech people how massive of an impact FOSS has, I often use #CURL by @bagder@mastodon.social as an example
The chances are high their devices all hold the software but none of them ever heard of it
Most of the modern world is build on libraries made by single developers, volunteers and small teams but not many know
Welcome Ramesh Adhikari as #curl commit author 1503: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/22449
I would like us to make an effort to move #curl's HTTPS-RR and ECH support out
of experimental mode before end of year 2026.
https://curl.se/mail/lib-2026-07/0013.html
Join the fun and help us test "Apple fast UDP" with #curl. Using their undocumented functions...

This reminded me of @bagder@mastodon.social and all the requests from big and small companies to fix bugs in #curl or add new feature for free.
If you're looking for something to help out with in the #curl project, here is an idea!
Enable one, some or all experimental features in your local build and use them for a while to see how they behave - and report all problems:

After almost 4 weeks of #curl #summerofbliss I still do not miss security reports.
When we stopped listening, there was instant relief - that kept up. I‘d imagine that’s what having left a years long, abusive relationship feels like.
It‘ll last another week. And then…we‘ll move in again? Doesn‘t that sound insane?

No #curl CVEs at all during July because of bliss. Highly recommended.

How hard could it be to add support for #GeminiProtocol to #curl?
Out of the 100 million USD that has been donated through #GitHub sponsors, 0.0641% was given to #curl (64K USD since 2019)

Dear #network teachers, students and #hacker friends, I have a #browser based network simulator to enable learning #networking. Please have a look and tell me what do you think. Made for desktop or bigger screens.
https://howcomputer.works/netsim/ Everything is in the browser, and there is documentation.
The goal is to allow kids to start learning while their schools/systems are not big enough to be able to build lab networks. It has a small/minimal #curl implementation too. @bagder@mastodon.social
