I’ve finally used up my Lazy Reading links backlog!
- Hand-crafted containers. A good explanation of how containers are set up, and a certain sense of deja vu for anyone familiar with BSD jails. (via)
- Punctuation in Novels. I like seeing the conversion of data from text to image. (also via)
- Overclocking an old IBM 701. The butterfly keyboard model. (via)
- Accurate CRT Simulation. (via)
- RS-232 for Commodore PET and Dialing a BBS Over WiFi. (via)
- tmux2html: “Render full tmux windows or individual panes as HTML.” (via)
- MobaXterm – all-in-one SSH/X client. Anyone use this vs. PuTTY?
- Documentation is for the weak.
- A Brief History of ClarisWorks. Back when office packages were actually light. (via)
- Dwarf Fortress’ creator on how he’s 42% towards simulating existence. (via)
- What Infrastructure Should Learn from NPM JavaScript Debacle. “Don’t execute programs directly from the Internet” should not be a hard lesson to learn. (via)
- Debian ships very outdated packages. It frustrates upstream creators. The response from most people misses the point, but the maintainer at least has a sane response. (via and via)
- Ubuntu on Windows. I think it’s less “Let’s use Linux” and more “Apple’s UNIX tools get everyone to buy Macbooks, let’s try that.” It unfortunately does not do anything (yet?) with process control or user authorization or other things you would actually need. Related: GNU/kWindows. (via).
Your sort-of off-topic link of the week: Michael W. Lucas’s fiction is, for a short time, part of a larger book bundle which is available for less than the price of buying it all individually. Buy now if you want a deal/lots of fiction to read.
I use MobaXTerm for connecting to X sessions on OpenVMS. I use PuTTY for everything else. I don’t think most people are going to have that problem though.
Why do you use both? i.e. why not use MobaXTerm for everything?
Its a bit clunky as far as an ssh client goes. I wouldn’t really use it at all if there was a better X server solution for Windows that worked properly.
