  1. Звоним через полстраны по dial-up модему в 2025 году

    Приветствую всех! Многие из нас застали лично и всё ещё помнят «модемную» эпоху. И даже мне самому доводилось ими пользоваться, а много позже я писал про то, каково в нынешних реалиях сидеть в интернете через старый аналоговый модем. Но вот мне стало интересно: а как насчёт попробовать позвонить не через мини-АТС, а на модем в другом районе или даже в другом городе? Именно этим мы сейчас и займёмся. Итак, в сегодняшней статье проверим на практике, реально ли заставить два модема связаться друг с другом в наши дни заката эпохи медных линий. Узнаем, насколько стабильным будет соединение и будет ли оно вообще. Традиционно будет много интересного.

  2. We've released #PuTTY version 0.83.

    This release is mostly full of bug fixes following up the new development in 0.82. Most significantly, 'psftp -b' was completely broken, and now works again. Also various assertion failures, crashes and hangs. On the Unix side, we've fixed an intermittent bug making the keys on the small keypad above the arrows (Home, End, Ins, Del etc) not work in the terminal.

    We've also extended our #quantumsafe cryptography support, by supporting #MLKEM as a key exchange option, in addition to NTRU Prime which we already had.

  3. Now THIS came in handy:

    wsl-ssh-pageant
    🌐 github.com/benpye/wsl-ssh-page

    # How to use with #WSL

    1. On the #Windows side start #Pageant (or compatible agent such as #gpg4win).

    2. Run wsl-ssh-pageant.exe --wsl C:\my_path\ssh-agent.sock (max ~100 characters)

    3. In WSL export the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable to point at the socket

    $ export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/mnt/c/my_path/ssh-agent.sock

    Tada! 🎺

  4. I'm really getting much more of a chuckle from the puzzles thrown up by trying to use a #VintagePC on a modern network than I ever expected!

    Modern #puTTY binaries won't run on #WindowsNT4; ancient binaries from January 2000 are available and will run, but can't connect to a modern #SSH server. Most effective for file transfer is a combination of #telnet specially installed on my daily driver #Linux machine and python3 -m http.server.

    Netscape 4.7 works nicely with the Python HTTP server, and the telnet client that comes with Windows NT4 supports VT100 so on opening a shell on my Linux machine, I find the w3m command line web browser is just about usable - good enough to download ancient binaries and installers onto the Linux machine that can be served via Python's HTTP server.

    I've also given #wrp, the Web Rendering Proxy, a spin; it's surprisingly effective. Runs on a Linux machine on the network and serves pages as GIFs with clickable image maps.
