I hate censorship as much as I hate Tiktok. Damn the government for making me side with Tiktok.

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 chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtath

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 actually prefer to not be forced to use a launcher so in that respect GOG gives me exactly what I want. As far as Steam goes I prefer to not have to guess what is DRM free or not. Steam has made no hardware that interests me so GOG not making any doesn't concern me.

I do most of my wesb browsing on my desktop anyway so I say don't bow to mobile devices.
