the year is 2005. PHP is the easiest language to deploy on my apache server, since I just need to drop some files in, and not have to set up any new services.

Unusual to see adblocker detection on a website actually recommend using a blocker. Normally sites try to deny access to people with adblockers.
And this is (one of the reasons) why I despise the WordPress block editor. Whenever I have the misfortune of opening a block editor page, CPU use goes through the roof. Firefox's about:performance shows 410% CPU utilisation for it, and Task Manager just shows it solidly maxing out on all cores. Does the same thing on my Mac Mini and MacBook, so it's not just a problem with Windows.

Everyone on #LinkedIn: Make sure to turn this off unless you want to supply both your personal data and everything you post on the platform for AI training.

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.

if you put a webserver up on the internet. anywhere, hosting anything, you will see "the background radiation of the internet", and it looks like this:
