❤️ Thank you @bagder for maintaining #curl since 1998. What would we do without it, how long would it take us, and what code quality would those solutions have without you? Thank you so much! ❤️

...and how on earth would people be able to check the weather forecast without curl? 😉

(Please join me in thanking Daniel, and let others here on the #Fediverse know about your favourite ways of using #curl )

@kirschner @bagder I've used curl daily for years, for checking web servers and headers, downloading files and pulling IP information from sites like https://ipinfo.io/ .

Just this week I used curl to access the Rackspace cloud files API for a mass file delete before their higher prices kicked in.

@kirschner @bagder I use `curl` as a basic part of the I/O of my post-scarcity #Lisp implementation.

@kirschner @bagder Absolute legend! Curl was and is always one of the first tools that goes on any machine I install. From the smallest RaspberryPis to the large BladeCenters (when hardware was still a thing 😜).
Outstanding support from Daniel himself as well as his team and the curl community of developers.

My favorite is "curl parrot.live" party_parrot Not quite as useful perhaps, but still!

@bagder Thanks also to @igor_chubin for the work on https://wttr.in . ❤️

"weather" and "weather2" are aliases in my shell for curl https://wttr.in/berlin and curl v2.wttr.in/berlin .
