@Learath2 if we replace the ninja check with the extended net obj freeze flag, then we can simply make it serverside because then it would be on ddnet servers only anyways

@heinrich5991 but which version of curl to link against? Hard to know which distro has which

and even worse, curl brings openssl with it, which has dozens of incompatible versions

07:37

but yeah, it's a pain to update these libs every time there is a security update

Are you sure the serverside fix is as good?

07:46

It often is not

07:46

Look at faketune e.g.

But we should definitely support vanilla clients

@deen Can you send me a link of the commit where it was serverside?

09:04

(freezeinput)

not rly

10:23

anyone who plays ddnet with vanilla client is doomed to be bad

@fokkonaut can't find it anymore, sorry :/

:/

@deen what do you mean, which version?

15:08

you link to whatever you want, it takes the soname libcurl.so.4, and that works with whatever library the distro ships

15:08

only glibc names are versioned

so weird that no one ever reverse engineered a modems firmware

wdym?

like there is always a proprietary blob involved if you want to do xDSL

15:32

also, on a more on topic note, linking to libcurl dynamically, we'd have to check whether any of the functions we use have a specific version requirement

quick survey of all the functions we use. it doesn't hurt to call the one that is only supported since 7.57.0, it will simply return an error (which we ignore)

that's a nice list
