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.
I get the same confusion when I prove someone wrong using a universal curl example. The same guy that parses JSON by hand (rather than use a library) canβt remember how to fucking use curl.
Recursively dumping all data from the server was always a wget thing, it will create a nice directory structure for you and will also convert links in webpages to point to your local file system.
a Tim Robinson Linux meme is two layers of obscure 10/10
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!"
aria2c -c -x 10 -k 5M rocks. Faster and more persistent than Firefox' built-in downloader, while still working on most servers.
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.
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.
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.
Thatβs him, if you like him in that I would highly recommend his show βI Think You Should Leaveβ.
I'm not familiar with a show called "Friendship," but I agree that friendship is an incredibly awkward experience.
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.
