also i hope the curl joke is correct i don’t use it that much
also i hope there are itysl fans here
Now you have syntax highlighting and JSON parsing. Total install size: ~10MB. Total startup time: instant. Total RAM usage: negligible. Total feelings of superiority: immeasurable.
As someone who often does curl API requests and also come up to idea of putting them in jq — I felt superior just by reading this, thank you
curl | jqis like the web equivalent ofcat | grepI usually plop the response in a file and nvim that. Or write “3 lines of python” if I need anything more complex.
EDIT:
Never triedjqbut read up on it a little, seems hella powerfull. Also, in my workplace postman is the default tool, which I find infuriaring as hell.
This website is wonderful
I really like that the link at the bottom of the page says “check out more stuff you should be using” but that URL takes you to a page where the curl article is the only link.
“more coming soon. Or not. I don’t owe you shit”
A majestic site indeed. Bravo sir.
I enjoyed every bit of it [=
Reminded me of motherfucking website
the hostility is hilarious 😂
especially since I had no idea what any of it means 😂 and yet it manages to sound so obvious
I feel bad that I read that page in Chrome. I’m a failure of a techie.
Tomorrow I must atone by teaching more students terminal commands. Maybe using web API calls with cURL. Or get and some eviloverlord.com quotes?
whenever someone at work says they have trouble with a web service or api I’m like “Idk I can curl it just fine, what’s your request look like” and you would not believe how many developers get confused by this question. It’s so goddamn frustrating
They know how to use Postman and that is it.
Hey that’s not fair, plenty of them also know how to upload hardcoded secrets to postman.
Make sure to save all your secrets in git and then upload from git to postman, that way your security incident is way more repeatable
Security compromise as code.
I get the same confusion when I prove someone wrong using a universal
curlexample. The same guy that parses JSON by hand (rather than use a library) can’t remember how to fucking usecurl.
Me watching curl and wget fail on a multi request HTTP logic stupidity that requires you to submit a random useless header that only the browser will do automatically.
Recursively dumping all data from the server was always a
wgetthing, it will create a nice directory structure for you and will also convert links in webpages to point to your local file system.Wget?
yeah we get it
Big W indeed.
Dear Lord,
Please help OP’s reference hit.
In Jesus’ name…
a Tim Robinson Linux meme is two layers of obscure 10/10
The few times I do use curl, all I can think of is this sketch. Glad there are some TR fans here too 😁
I know curl but I don’t get the meme?
the sketch is about reselling hair serum to bald men, he controls them because he threatens to withhold the serum unless he can dictate their haircuts.
“You plant the seeds, you get to look at the trees!”
Thanks
aria2c -c -x 10 -k 5Mrocks. Faster and more persistent than Firefox’ built-in downloader, while still working on most servers.Alright someone explain this to me 🤣
I think (a while ago)
-cis with a temp file to pick up again on failure-x 10: # of connections-k 5M: block size or something
Gimme that.
itysl fan here: everyone else is talking about cURL, but I see what you did there… well done!
Hmm. This thread is making me want to watch it. What’s the pitch?
I’m sure I could look it up and get a bland general description, but I’d be more likely to trust the opinion of another person in a Linux memes community on Lemmy.Fascinating topic for research: how much correlation is there between Linux users and Tim Robinson fans?
That looks like Alan Tudyk in Chuck but I don’t think it is.
I think it’s this guy https://m.imdb.com/name/nm4200503 Just saw him in Friendship, which was incredibly awkward the whole time.
I’m not familiar with a show called “Friendship,” but I agree that friendship is an incredibly awkward experience.
That’s him, if you like him in that I would highly recommend his show “I Think You Should Leave”.

Alan Tudyk in Chuck
Was he ever in Chuck? I don’t recall that. But also, Tim Robinson, who this actually is (I didn’t know either, had to google a bit), has also never been on Chuck lol
No. Well, I don’t know. I didn’t finish Chuck (though I get the sense I should!) and have self diagnosed as face blind. I also only know Tim Robinson from … Uh, nevermind, turns out that was Tim Robbins. I don’t know Tim Robinson.
This guy looks like Alan Tudyk to me (my wife would describe him as “the same font”) and the aesthetic reminds me of Chuck, hence the original post. I apologize for misleading you.
Okay, I can relate on the face blindness lol
This is what I came for!
No?
