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.

@DaveKeating defends a federal Euro-Gaullism.

Radical, but else what? Surrender to Trump and pray for the best?

My next Open Source project will use #forgejo for git, release and issue management according to the Collective Code Construction Contract (C4 )process [1] (so no lengthy discussions in issues, only problems and solutions). A static landing page with documentation. A read-only archive of the mailing list posts. And only e-mail to communicate. No chat, no discord.

The goal is to slow everything down. So that devs can concentrate and users learn to use documentation and archive before asking.

People that want the newest and shiniest dev tools, even if merely beta, that will often end up being unmaintained after a few years, demand that the switch from X to Wayland (which was first released 2008) should not be rushed because it’s not ready for prime-time, in their opinion.

Amazing, just added a Windows machine to my tailscale VPN and started looking on how to install and configure RustDesk. And got confused by the server thing a bit.

Die über ein rechtsextremes Hetzportal verbreiteten haltlosen (mittlerweile zum Teil zurückgenommenen) Vorwürfe eines wegen übler Nachrede rechtskräftig verurteilten "Plagiatsjägers" reichen aus, am nächsten Tag eine Abstimmung im Bundestag platzen zu lassen.

Das sollte spätestens allen zeigen, welche Gefahr von Lügenpropaganda und mangelnder Medienkompetenz (insbesondere bei Unionsabgeordneten) ausgeht.

Das. Muss. Aufhören.
