There is a new short domain name for #PuTTY!

https://putty.software/

At present, this is just a "landing page": a nice short name to remember, which will redirect you to the full PuTTY website at the same longer URL where it's always been.

But unlike putty.org or other third-party landing pages, this one is run by us, the actual PuTTY team, and it doesn't have a weird separate agenda of its own.

I intend to move the main PuTTY site over to that domain in the future, and leave just a redirector at the old location. But first I want to get the word out, so that people know which site to trust.

If anyone is still linking to putty.org, here's a place to link to instead. Please spread the word!

PuTTY

Free software SSH client for Windows and also Unix, including an xterm-style terminal emulator.

Somehow landed on the NetBSD manpage of sleep(1) and they seem to have a rather unique take on what is considered a bug.

You heard the news, and now I need your help. OSNews is ad-free now, and I've set up a Ko-Fi fundraiser to make up for the hit to my income.

Do you like your technology news free of "AI", free of corporate interests, without ads, and entirely and utterly independent?

So, I just opened up a #Dell from 2021, and it's got a #PCI slot. Not PCI Express (although it has those too), but a freaking old-school parallel PCI slot! On the same board as a M.2 #NVMe port and an 11th-gen Intel Core CPU! 🤯

BREAKING: we have just completely removed all ads from OSNews. The ad industry sucks, so I've put my money where my mouth is. OSNews is now entirely ad-free, for everyone.

Since this means losing a chunk of income, I would greatly appreciate it if you could support us by becoming a Patreon, by making an individual donation through Ko-Fi, or by buying our merch.
