You can often know what will be useless tho
Rust is still popular ... so I wouldn't trust at least my future prediction skills.
This is getting downvoted but that's a neat self-deprecation joke!

#52> I have thought about a HDMI/keyboard switch to allow me more easily switch between my different spare computers into the left “backup screen” to make it a lesser hassle to alter between those machines, but I haven’t yet decided nor found a product that would be suitable. Personally I love the Level 1 KVMs but they only do DisplayPort now. https://store.level1techs.com/search?q=kvm I have this 2 monitor 2 PC one htt…
Holy shit, that's exactly what I was looking for last month... As a two screens user, could not find one that supported Display Ports.
I'm hoping to chain it to a dock station so I can easily switch between a laptop and a desktop, using the same monitors/ peripherals.

"It's just one HTTP client. There are better ones."
Why don't you stop being intentionally vague and tell us which ones, and what makes them better?
Because if there is something better than curl, with its enormous scope in protocols and platforms, and free of charge to boot, I would surely like to know.
Curl's installed base is enormous. If everyone who uses curl had to switch to some other solution tomorrow, that would mean millions of developer hours wasted. If anything, the author of curl should be paid more.

#54It says the desk is homemade, but it looks like a standard Ikea desk
IKEA doesn't have a 3 meter desk last time I checked. I'm guessing he bought a 3 meter wood counter top and screwed IKEA desk legs to it. That's what I did at least.

#55Really nice article. Curious, are there more folks running Debian Unstable as daily driver?
It’s not uncommon for people who like Debian overall but want to be less out-of-date.

#56Pretty chaotic for my taste! I find that having clutter on my desktop distracts me and makes me feel uneasy. I'm wondering what the difference between Daniel and me is. Could it just be a personality trait?
Well, you’re a CTO (going by your handle) and Daniel is an open source engineer, so I’d say personally probably has something to do with it.
Steve Jobs was even a CEO and known for no-nonsense taste, but look what his desk looked like:

There's a working desk, and there's the work that's being produced there. They don't have to have the same amount of structure.

What is the better http client? I thought most HTTP clients piggybacked on libcurl :)
I once saw him at a conference and he said curl even has an option to emit the C code to call libcurl and do the curl request you did. I wish I had known this before. However I mostly use wget from shell, and since I mostly work with python aiohttp/standard library/just writing the request on the socket.
curl is basically a cli for libcurl.

#59But where's your Commodore 64, Bagder? We know it's hiding somewhere.
That made me check if he really has a C64 port. No, not yet https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/11/25/89-operating-systems/
Is curl the single most widely ported piece of software? I could imagine that being the case.

I was referring to the personality question, not desk tidiness.
