Yes, but also no. If I prompt a graphics artist, "draw me a picture, any style, of a calendar with this day circled in red", you do not have to tell them what a calendar looks like, what the days of the week are, or how many there

Well, so there's two other problems with system (and popen): 1. IME security teams want to run dumb linters over the code that look for such things. While uses such as the ones you describe are secure, the linter might be blunter tha

Word choice matters. Defaults matter. People will go "well it says durable right here" and while arguably, yes, they should RTFM, it would still be great if tool-builders did not set the shotgun's default state to State::AT_F

DHCP works over IPv6, but there's also a corresponding RA option, too, if your v6-only network doesn't use DHCP. https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8910/ is, I think, the latest version of the standard.

Well, that sounds hallucinogenic; v6 & TLS should basically not interact. But like, what error does curl give? I'm sort of wondering if it's more cert store weirdness. Curl & Firefox, I think, will use different stores. I
