Interesting episode of Focus On Linux on the #SovereignTechFund (@sovtechfund) with Daniel Stenberg (@bagder), who talks about how #Curl has been funded by the STF.

Sovereign Tech Fund
If there is one thing that has become increasingly important in recent years, it is the funding of critical open-source projects that have long been part of our everyday lives.FOCUS ON: Linux
#curl provides this listing and collection of ALL past security vulnerabilities at https://curl.se/docs/security.html
I claim that curl does this better than, yeah, just about all other projects. Because we put a lot of effort into it. Because we believe our users deserve it.
#curl 8.10.0 is here. A larger update than in a while.

The graph of number of graphs and plots on the #curl dashboard

(no it does not include itself because this graph is not present on the dashboard)
An unscientific search seems to indicate that more than 7% of the vulnerability reports we get in #curl concerns directory listings on the website.
That's about half the rate of the legitimate reports.
got another "security report" from someone who found a directory listing on the #curl site insisting it is an "information exposure" vulnerability
Even though the entire thing is also available in a public git repository.
Closed.
In six hours, I will do this free #curl presentation live-streamed with a Q&A. What we sometimes call a #webinar. Join up. It should be fun!

We are now down to 4, I repeat FOUR, open issues for #curl.

On September 3 2013, "lib/http2.c" was created in the #curl repository and the first code was added into it.
Man did that break a lot of paradigms and caused challenges and problems for years to come!
Over time, how many lines have been added to the #curl product source code compared to how many lines are still present?
Turns out the factor is about 3. Over time, we have added 3 times the number of lines than currently present.
(a changed line is an added line and one removed)
We are nine days from the pending next #curl release.
What to look forward to:
One CVE, sixteen changes and over 200 bugfixes.
I will run a #curl webinar on Thursday.
"mastering the curl command line"
https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/09/02/webinar-mastering-the-curl-command-line/
I made the #curl manpages on the website show the examples snippets using a grey background to "stand out" a little better:
https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html
It made me spot that they often get a leading blank line so now I have a pending PR to fix that as well...
Last year on this day the bogus #curl CVE arrived that triggered a series of events that subsequently made #curl become a CNA.
