Marcus Adams<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Curl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Curl</span></a> is being updated to include a new wcurl tool for downloading files. This sounds like, instead of dumping the file to stdout like curl normally does unless you manually redirect or pipe it to a file, this will basically be a curl based alternative to wget.</p><p>Link: <a href="https://manpages.debian.org/testing/curl/wcurl.1.en.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">manpages.debian.org/testing/cu</span><span class="invisible">rl/wcurl.1.en.html</span></a></p>

ResearchBuzz: Firehose<p>Daniel Stenberg: Death by a thousand slops. “The general trend so far in 2025 has been way more AI slop than ever before (about 20% of all submissions) as we have averaged in about two security report submissions per week. In early July, about 5% of the submissions in 2025 had turned out to be genuine vulnerabilities. The valid-rate has decreased significantly compared to previous years.”</p><p><a href="https://rbfirehose.com/2025/07/19/daniel-stenberg-death-by-a-thousand-slops/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://rbfirehose.com/2025/07/19/daniel-stenberg-death-by-a-thousand-slops/</a></p>
