Can someone just buy Putty a real domain so they can get proper SEO? Hosting a project of this magnitude at a URL that looks like an old personal home page from 1996 is super unprofessional.

General reminder:

The domain name putty.org is *NOT* run by the #PuTTY developers. It is run by somebody not associated with us, who uses the domain to interpose advertising for their unrelated commercial products. We do not endorse those products in any way, and we have never given any kind of agreement for PuTTY's name to be used in promoting them.

Please do not perpetuate the claim that putty.org is the PuTTY website. If anyone is linking to it on that basis, please change the link. The PuTTY website is chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtath… and it always has been.

You can check this by downloading the source code, which cites that URL in many places (the README, the documentation, some strings in the actual code), or by using the "Visit Web Site" menu options in the official Windows binaries (the ones signed with my personal Authenticode certificate). The true PuTTY website is the one that PuTTY itself says it is.

Many search engines list putty.org above chiark. I don't know if this is due to active SEO on the part of the domain owner, or a heuristic in the rankings. Either way, don't believe them. It's not our site.

I remember the early times, in 2018 or so, when we first had "You can ask a question about an image in natural language and it will generate an answer" experiments. It was magic. And utterly unreliable.

The primary joke back then was to ask "How many giraffes are in this picture" and it would say "two" or something, for pictures of an empty meadow.

Anyway. If you point an LLM at a code base and ask "where is the security vulnerability" it will point to one. Even on empty meadows.

@miki Only because by this point everyone knows that search engines prioritize fraud and advertising over good results.

It used to be that Google (before they got taken over by doubleclick) were known for exceptionally good results. You could type putty and click "I'm feeling lucky" and be redirected directly to the correct website.

Jumping through their hoops is a futile project. Now it's domain names and certificates, a couple of years ago, it was AMP sites, next week it will be AI slop that gets your site at the top.

Nová verze Mastodonu dělá z adresáře profilů mnohem použitelnější záležitost, než tomu bylo doposud.

Místo neustálého načítání stránky s delším a delším krokem je nyní k dispozici postupné načítání přes možnost "Načíst více".

Pokud tedy nahoře nastavíte volby "Nově příchozí" a "Pouze ze zpravobot.news", můžete poměrně elegantně projít celý adresář a vybrat si, který ze zprávobotíků chcete sledovat.

P.S.: Platí pro všechny instance od 4.4.0.

Bookface 1.8 is Here!

This update has a LOT of changes and fixes in it! I think I got in everything everyone who gave me feedback asked for (check the README file "Changelog" section for details). Lots of attention paid to making buttons, tabs, and drop-down appearance consistent, and lots of new CSS variables for customization plus a new option for customizing Bookface (more on that in a moment).

Bookface 1.8 has been tested with both the current stable 2024.12 and 2025.7 Release Candidate versions.

The most obvious change you'll probably notice is that the responses below posts and comments now look completely different:

Responses below posts and comments

And below an Event Post:

Responses below Event posts

If multiple people engaged with the post in a certain way you no longer have to click the count to see the list, it's a popover that appears on hover (active on touch devices). This is a lot cleaner and more consistent with how these are displayed on other social media platforms.

You'll also notice that the Main Menu missing icons are in place. This is a change that's coming in the next Friendica release anyway, but Bookface lets you have it right now:

Missing Main Menu Icons implemented

Someone specifically asked whether the main navigation buttons could have labels on them:

NavBar Icons with Labels

I didn't turn it on by default, but nav button labels are now coded into Bookface and if you're using CSS variable customization they're easy to turn on:

:root {
--show-navbar-labels: block;
}

The label text is also customizable. Until now the only way to implement such customizations was either for a server admin to manually put them into the header or footer sitewide or for individual users to put them in a user content stylesheet just for your web browser. That's why I'm also releasing a new Friendica addon called "Bookface Custom" that, if your server admin installs it, allows you to customized every one of the Bookface CSS variables to your heart's content.

Get 'em while they're hot:

* Bookface 1.8
* Bookface User Styles 1.8
* Bookface Custom Addon 1.0

I agree that it does take up a lot of space, because I made the icons larger and added more white space for a cleaner, more modern look. Everything in Frio is too tiny and compact and cluttered. It doesn't help that Friendica just has a LOT of controls. Too many IMO. It's kind of overwhelming to new users.

For smaller displays when you get below 768 pixels wide it engages the mobile interface. There's some overlap between desktop and tablet landscape making it impossible to discern which it is, and for most tablets in portrait I chose to display a compact version of the desktop bars to keep the position of controls consistent if you change tablet orientation.

It is technically possible to merge the two bars into one (actually make them 50% screen width and positioned seamlessly side-by-side) for really wide screens, but there's just too much stuff there to do that for a smaller screen. And the sub-section words in the second toolbar can be really short in some languages or really long in others.

You could try zooming in until the mobile interface kicks in. Though it doesn't really save that much space as there are still two toolbars, they just aren't both at the top.

TIL: Ever wanted to compress data or use cryptographic algorithms but you don't want to link to C libraries or you're just plain lazy?

The Linux kernel has you covered! Create a socket of type AF_ALG, bind to your favorite algorithm, send() in your data and recv() it back!

This seems to support deflate, SHA, RSA and some more on ppc64le and additionally even zstd, chacha, lzo, hmac and more on ARM!
