joesuf4··on Apache HTTPd Server Developers Considered Harmful
2.17 was released in Aug 2022. Here's the changes file: https://httpd.apache.org/apreq/docs/libapreq2/apreq_changes....

Here's the bugtraq event about it: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1018191

Does any of this make sense to you? Nobody who looks in the changes file has any idea the last three releases involved CVE issues. Not only are they purposefully obscured, the release itself contains undocumented bogus parser changes that were papered over during candidate voting.

As I tell all my longstanding Apache friends, being involved with the foundation was transformational for me.

But at the same time, F/OSS has transformed into a loss leader for FAANGM monopolies, which coincides neatly with the timeline presented.

As of Valentines Day, what existed in svn‘s apreq/trunk is kosher, because I’ve personally vetted it.

Nothing else is.

It’s both. 2.17 was a fraudulent release, the release manager is now Chair of the PMC.

As I tell everyone else- don’t trust their releases.

1/ because I don’t remember exactly how many, 2/ because the record keeping at Apache was so haphazard at the time, half of the places I resigned from left me on the roster anyway (like the HTTPd server project itself).

How peevish can you guys be?

You go with that cowboy.

It depends on whether you have any experience with F/OSS communities. If you don't , then 25 years is irrelevant, so yeah compressing it into 1 paragraph makes it seem petty.

Apologies if the meaning was unclear, but what it's meant to convey that I resigned ALL of my dozen-or-so positions from the org simultaneously.

Finally, it's possible for Perl to be configured to do compile time method lookups the way Dylan can for sealed classes. Just as Doug MacEachern intended in

sealed.pm: Available on CPAN now.

Crappy UI, Crappy Moderation, Crappy Content. Is it any wonder what will become of this misadventure after the Creative Commons License on all the material allows ChatGPT to consume it all for free?

Iconoclasts love Orion. It makes site building fun again.
