can you put some simple script on your page to check the referring page and if it is putty.org just show an error page that putty.org is fake?
how did I make it this far without knowing about epsilon and "dual numbers"? that is super handy!

an interesting tidbit about the "history" command.
for some reason if you start a cli command with a space, history won't record it. pretty sneaky!

@nixCraft I love this meme, but I also love having a ton of ram in linux!
I use this in my fstab and I use /tmp for all sorts of things to keep the wear low on my SSDs

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nodev,nosuid,size=80% 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,nodev,nosuid,size=80% 0 0

editing a huge video? use /tmp
torrents? put'em in /tmp

I ended up putting 64G in my last desktop build, I even have some VM storage using tmpfs

that's the problem, in adb shell I ran:

pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS
pm grant com.google.android.gms android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS

and sync was fixed.

(NOTE this deny permission did get copied to a new phone by account setup and it had the same problem!)

I hope this helps someone! this was a weird one!

ctrl-c on the laptop to stop the log, and now on the laptop run:
adb shell

in the shell, run: (with what ever package threw the error for you)
dumpsys package com.google.android.gms | grep -i false

I saw this at the bottom:
android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS: granted=false, flags=[ USER_SET|GRANTED_BY_DEFAULT]
android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS: granted=false, flags=[ USER_SET|GRANTED_BY_DEFAULT]

how to fix contact sync not working on android
or contact sync says it need contacts permission
you will need USB debugging enabled and ADB on a laptop

enable usb debugging, connect to linux laptop, run:
adb logcat

(this will display the live logs)

on the phone try to sync (disable and enable contact sync) and follow the logs,
I got an error: com.google.android.gms did not have contact permission
gms is a hidden system app so it does not show up on the phone at all
