Somehow, these new long TLDs just feel spammy and "fake" and I usually ignore them when they show up in search results. Unfortunately the .com, .net and .org are already taken.

PuTTY has a new website

Re: PuTTY has a new website
#22Ever since Windows gained Terminal and OpenSSH, my usage of Putty has almost entirely ceased except for serial for embedded systems work. Then I realised Putty ships with a CLI version which I now use in Terminal for accessing serial.

I always used mingw and similar projects. IMO, putty was always annoying (but very useful) software. The "ecosystem" seems better now though.

#24> Unlike other landing pages, this one is run by the PuTTY team itself, and not by a third party with their own agenda. No idea what this means. Anyway Simon Tatham's games are so good I think he gets a pass on anything else he does.
Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection (https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/) is a fantastic set of logic games that's been ported to practically every platform imaginable.

Indeed, that and “git bash” were always the weird outliers. I’m glad there’s now native options.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Context: "The domain name putty.org is NOT run by the #PuTTY developers" ( https://hachyderm.io/@simontatham/114846017785770922 discussed before at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44558328 ), but by a competitor who historically used the site at that domain to promote their own product.
It's much weirder now. The current holder of that domain is using it to host a single page that pushes anti-vax nonsense under the guise of fighting censorship... but also links to the actual PuTTY site. Very weird mix of maybe-well-meaning and nonsense.
The guy behind that page and bitvise appears to have gone totally crazy during the pandemic. On his blog, he said in 2021 "I forecast that 2/3 of those who accept Covid vaccines are going to die by January 1, 2025."
And in 2022, he wrote "Covid-19 is mostly snake venom added to drinking water in selected locations. There may also be a virus, but the main vehicle of hospitalizations is boatloads of powder, mixed in during 'water treatment.' Remdesivir, the main treatment for Covid, is injected snake venom. mRNA vaccines hijack your body to make more snake venom."

> Terminal Have they fixed font rendering yet? cmd.exe looks better on my laptop
The first time I ever saw it, the text already looked better than cmd.exe via conhost.

Certificate by Let's Encrypt, issued to "putty.software" no other info.
Sometimes I feel like we are training users to disregard safety mechanisms for phishing.
Using putty was never the pinnacle of professionalism and open source auditing anyway, it's just a binary you download on windows before you hear the gospel of linux and ssh.

Have they fixed it spying on you? https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/terminal/issues/139
