Getting a bug report submitted on a #curl release done **twelve** years ago. Apparently it can crash in some circumstance...
Things that run #curl, i.e. open source is everywhere
I'll run over to #fossnorth tomorrow, where I primarily will hand out #curl stickers and socialize with people.
Oh and do a little keynote at 9am Monday morning titled "What comes after world domination?"
"Hello Daniel,
I see that libcurl has been used in several scraping builds — I’m hiring for a freelance job that relies on custom session handling and API scraping logic."
Oh dear. I know I talk about getting people to pay for #curl, but I think this is taking it a little too far... 
curl HTTP/3 with OpenSSL 3.5 may be coming you way soon. Tatsuhiro, the maintainer of ngtcp2, did the (unnecessarly) heavy lifting to adapt and I did the comparatively few changes for it in curl.

This could be exciting for #curl users building with #OpenSSL ...
