We've released #PuTTY version 0.81. This is a SECURITY UPDATE, fixing a #vulnerability in ECDSA signing for #SSH.

If you've used a 521-bit ECDSA key (ecdsa-sha2-nistp521) with any previous version of PuTTY, consider it compromised! Generate a new key pair, and remove the old public key from authorized_keys files.

Other key types are not affected, even other sizes of ECDSA. In particular, Ed25519 is fine.

This vulnerability has id CVE-2024-31497. Full information is at https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/vuln-p521-bias.html

In bash, writing ${var?} instead of just ${var} or $var means if var isn't defined then bash will throw an error and _not_ execute your command, instead of expanding it to "" and carrying on.

mv file1 file2 $subdir # oops, I overwrote file2
mv file1 file2 ${subdir?} # error message instead of disaster

My favourite use of this is for example commands in documentation, with placeholders for the user to fill in. Then it's OK if a user accidentally copy-pastes it _without_ filling them in!

I am thinking to replace my website
https://tinfoil-hat.net
to a more modern layout, created by for example by Hugo. My website doesn't scale well with modern mobile devices. also casual users can't see the beauty of raw HTML/CSS

Feel free to boost

Should I:

Proud of my progress in #emacs. Following along with System Crafter's excellent intro series on Emacs from Scratch. 1. Found my config file and added a few basics (line numbers and theme). 2. Finally got MELPA packages working and installed org-bullets for #orgmode.

I'm a lifelong learner, and this combo of writing, coding, and thinking really scratches several itches for me. Trying not to let it convince me I'm actually being "productive", but it's a lot of fun when things work!

Got #obsidian set up and synced using Obsidian Sync on my #linuxmint install. That's a big yay.

Now we'll start the #orgmode vs #obsidian tussle. May the better solution win.

Got to say that finding a good syncing solution for orgmode is critical. And github isn't it. Suggestions welcome.

And #linuxmint just auto-detected my printer. That's super impressive and not like linux used to be. I was having problems printing from WSL2, but this is great. I might just move in. #emacs super zippy as previously reported.

📢 Woohoo! Version v6.1.15 of Firefly III has just been released 🎉. Check it out over at GitHub, Docker, or download it using your favorite package manager.

Do you really know your State Bar?

It's made up of judges and former attorneys, who don't give a crap about anything legal!

#SaveTheChildren

Notes on the quest to get the alarm clock to wake up the phone from suspend: this executed as user mobian actually resumed a L5:
systemd-run --collect --user --unit=alarm-clock --on-active="1m" --timer-property=WakeSystem=true gnome-clocks
Resuming without root permissions seems to work now (progress)!

There are still bugs, also saw https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/29245

Now, gnome-clocks "just" needs to call the required systemd timers to make the phone wake up on time...
