I've been bedridden for the last 6 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.

My office computer just crashed and now all the other computers have slowed down so they can see whats happening.
NPR - There's yet another type of deception emerging on TikTok: deepfake videos that copy the exact words of a real creator but in a different voice. https://www.npr.org/2025/07/10/nx-s1-5461427/tiktok-creators-copy-ai-fakes
Hmm, tried to be helpful lending some radio knowledge over on Bluesky (where I am lightly monitoring and someone asked for commentary from me) and man was the response negative. Went and deleted my helpful posts. Apparently they have pulled over all the crap behavior from Twitter. Thank you Mastodon folks for (mostly) being civil on engagement.

General reminder:

The domain name putty.org is *NOT* run by the #PuTTY developers. It is run by somebody not associated with us, who uses the domain to interpose advertising for their unrelated commercial products. We do not endorse those products in any way, and we have never given any kind of agreement for PuTTY's name to be used in promoting them.

Please do not perpetuate the claim that putty.org is the PuTTY website. If anyone is linking to it on that basis, please change the link. The PuTTY website is https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ and it always has been.

You can check this by downloading the source code, which cites that URL in many places (the README, the documentation, some strings in the actual code), or by using the "Visit Web Site" menu options in the official Windows binaries (the ones signed with my personal Authenticode certificate). The true PuTTY website is the one that PuTTY itself says it is.

Many search engines list putty.org above chiark. I don't know if this is due to active SEO on the part of the domain owner, or a heuristic in the rankings. Either way, don't believe them. It's not our site.

@loren as someone who sells art for a living, i have very complicated feelings (and much rage/depression) on this subject and can only say right now that i hope you find something that fulfills you and allows to to continue your survival in a capitalist society.

it's ... not easy. it can be incredibly rewarding, but.

sigh.

anyone want to buy my art so i dont have to find another job ill fucking hate? lmfao

oh damn, my wife's HP EliteBook 8460p laptop finally packed in. either the GPU, VRAM, or display ribbon is dead. screen went all glitchy and now it boots but the display doesn't come on.

I bought this thing second hand back in 2015-ish, after having one as work laptops when I worked at Portcullis. they're basically indestructible from a physical perspective.

it was manufactured in 2012 so all told it lasted 13 years, and spent the last 10 years in heavy daily use. good run.

The place we order groceries unveiled their new website this week and in the tradition of all such changes it is dramatically worse than the old one.

are you a platform/embedded developer?
do you need to interact with hardware in a semi-custom manner?
would you like to suffer a lot less doing it?

if so, #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer might be for you. the code below is all you need to build a custom testbench for a DUT you've never seen before. just as easily you can add JTAG/SWD debug, protocol analyzers, etc.

oh, and of course, if you use some custom protocol the industry has never seen before, you have an FPGA that can be used to implement it.

e.g. it took me less than a week to build an RGMII Ethernet endpoint that can shuttle packets from a SoC to a TAP interface on the host

@whitequark i recently got my glasgow btw and am hoping to use it soon for some SPI debugging, also SWD interfacing with rp2040, rp2350 would be interesting, but got no experience with that yet.
@mntmn very nice!! i haven't tested SWD with rp* chips in particular, but i don't expect glasgow-specific bugs (although i know they use multidrop SWD which tickles some issues in upstream probe-rs..._)
@mntmn but also i can most likely just fix any SWD issues if you hit them, i have enough ADIv5.2 knowledge at this point
@whitequark @mntmn RP2040 is multi-drop, RP2350 is single-DP (but ADIv6)
@whitequark @mntmn I flashed both RP2040 and RP2350 successfully using glasgow and probe-rs.
To be honest, for now the only practical advantage compared to the cheap pico probe was that I could power the target from the glasgow. But the possibilities are limitless. For example it should be quite simple to not only flash and debug the target, but also provide a programmable test setup that interfaces to the target over SPI or whatever communication protocol you want to test.
@jannic @mntmn glasgow is also one of the fastest probes you can connect to probe-rs!
@whitequark @mntmn it's indeed impressive! And may allow for much more RTT logging without slowing down the firmware or loss of debug messages. I just didn't have a practical use case yet.
