Looking for **3-5 beta testers** for **NovaTerm**, a Linux terminal inspired by ProComm Plus. If you actively use BBSes via SSH/Telnet, ANSI, and Zmodem, I'd love your help testing the pre-1.0 release. Please run the smoke tests and send detailed results (host, protocol, expected vs. actual behavior, screenshots if needed). Releases: https://github.com/njb1966/novaterm/releases Contact: [email protected] for more info and testing specifics. #bbs #terminal #shell #beta #ssh #telnet #ansi

Those of us on #atomic distros - how do you install bash tools like #nmap, #telnet etc that arent in the base image?

I have been building my own sysext, which, is a lot of work and needs to be manually updated from time to time, but I had someone suggest the #brew repos as an alternative.

I previously aliased #distrobox commands

I try not to layer on my ostree, as it slows down updating so badly.

Comment if you do something else

I'm exploring some ideas for the next iteration of https://jws.dev. ​

I want it to be available in four languages, be a Vue app, and be available as a telnet site and a Gemini site. I'm debating whether I should use #nuxt for server-side rendering as well.

Dirty Tricks: Using nginx and Lua to thwart bots and skript kiddies by @ltning.

Retro computing, life wisdom and even some actually useful mitigations in one presentation. All done on a 80486 machine!
