Checked with a curl command line like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">$ curl -s https:\/\/api.github.com\/repos\/curl\/curl | jq '.stargazers_count'\n20000<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>(By the time I get around to finalize this post, the count has already gone up to 20087&#8230;)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate this occasion, I decided I was worth a beer and this time I went with a hand-written note. The beer was a Swedish hazy IPA called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stigbergetsbryggeri.se\/ol\/amazing-haze\/\">Amazing Haze<\/a> from the brewery Stigbergets. One of my current favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/20000-stars-beer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/20000-stars-beer.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16238\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos from previous GitHub-star celebrations :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"814\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/10000-stars-was-beer-814x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"11695\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/10000-stars-was-beer.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/2018\/09\/25\/10000-stars\/10000-stars-was-beer\/\" class=\"wp-image-11695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/10000-stars-was-beer-814x1200.jpg 814w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/10000-stars-was-beer-136x200.jpg 136w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/10000-stars-was-beer-305x450.jpg 305w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/10000-stars-was-beer-768x1132.jpg 768w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/10000-stars-was-beer.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"888\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1000-stars-was-beer-888x1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"11688\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1000-stars-was-beer.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/2018\/09\/25\/10000-stars\/1000-stars-was-beer\/\" class=\"wp-image-11688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1000-stars-was-beer-888x1200.jpg 888w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1000-stars-was-beer-148x200.jpg 148w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1000-stars-was-beer-333x450.jpg 333w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1000-stars-was-beer-768x1038.jpg 768w, https:\/\/daniel.haxx.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/1000-stars-was-beer.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 888px) 100vw, 888px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September 2018 I celebrated 10,000 stars, up from 5,000 back in May 2017.
