Good grief. Internal team at Microsoft has been trying to port OpenSSH to Windows for over two years now.

This latest 2 year stretch is their third attempt. 3RD ATTEMPT.

No wonder none of the alternatives out there seem able to pull it off reliably. Mind you, the alternatives all seem to be able to do the server listening to a port part well enough. It's verifying passwords and/or UX they can't manage.

Still, Microsoft is two years into their third attempt to do this.

Geebuz.

I love the way we've architected HardenedBSD's features.

I just set up GitLab in a jail. GitLab causes ruby23 to mprotect(RW -> RX), which is a violation of the strict default W^X policy in HardenedBSD.

So, I set up secadm in the jail to disable mprotect restrictions just for ruby23 in the jail. GitLab is happy again.

ruby23 in the host is still fully restricted.

This is exactly how exploit mitigations should be developed. We've done a spectacular job in #HardenedBSD.

Sometimes a passphrase-less ssh key for committing to a subversion repository is just what you need.

in the late 90s, i used a #hypercard stack to maintain a website. recently the domain name became available again, so i bought it and reuploaded the old site.

the whole thing is static HTML, generated with data i kept in hypercard. i haven't changed any of the html/css since then so it looks especially bad now, heh

anyway it's here if you're curious: http://brunchline.org/ complete with splash screen, lol
