  • upscayl

    🆙 Upscayl - #1 Free and Open Source AI Image Upscaler for Linux, MacOS and Windows.

    • Windows has caused us a lot of issues with Upscayl (https://upscayl.org).

    I personally do not use Windows but most of our errors are reported by Windows users where sometimes path parsing is a problem or the drivers mess up vulkan configuration.

    Discontinued The original sources of MS-DOS 1.25 and 2.0, for reference purposes

  • Caddy

    Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

    • No, look at the associated unit test: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/blob/c6eb186064091c79f4...

  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

    https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/04/09/cve-2024-24576.html

    Here are some quick programs to test contrasting approaches. I don't have examples of inputs where they parse differently on hand right now, but I know they exist. This was also a problem that was frequently discussed internally when I worked at MSFT.
