wow, nostalgia

can I get a bind vulnerability, and a tab clear?

kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00913 has 6 CVEs for bind in 2025, and 157 prior to that, so there's plenty to choose from

sendmail VOTW !

if you need to awaken truly ancient memories, nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-68920 is "C-Kermit (aka ckermit) through 10.0 Beta.12 (aka 416-beta12) before 244644d allows a remote Kermit system to overwrite files on the local system, or retrieve arbitrary files from the local system."

though I used zmodem more than c-kermit myself, back in the days I had a modem and not yet SLIP or PPP

yeah, I can't remember what kermit client I tried at the time, but i don't think i could ever get it working right, so i stuck with ymodem (until zmodem was available) at 2400 baud :P

though i've been told kermit would pretty much work over any kind of link you can think of

while the others weren't always as guarnteed (though I think for modems on home PCs connecting to BBSes, they all worked fine)

alanc: wow

I think the last I used kermit was to get an unlikely modern protocol onto somethig weird

maybe a nextstation?

I don't even know what kermit is

rzezeski: I mentioned yesterday that I think you had played with zig, was I right?

just in case anyone emails you, if I was wrong, that's totally my fault :)

richlowe: yes, I have been keeping zig alive in omnios-extra, but I've had no time to develop/improve our support over the last few months

this is what happens when one actually gets a real job again, ENOTIME

totally understandable, I just saw people talking about it and vaguely remembered your interest.

yep, thanks for the heads up

kermit let you transfer files over a serial terminal connection without having any sort of TCP/UDP/IP layering, just terminal control characters

things we used when modems just emulated a serial connection, not a network connection

it later grew to support literally everything

from kermitproject.org: In Unix, C-Kermit can be thought of as a user-friendly and powerful alternative to cu, tip, minicom, uucp, ftp, ftpd, telnet, ktelnet, rlogin, ssh, find, grep, iconv, recode, expect, wget, sendpage, bc, and to some extent even Lisp, your shell, and/or Perl;

sounds terrible

uugh uucp

at my first job, we had a few uucp customers

our uucp still has lingering support for datakit

i've not looked at it in decades, but 'hack on hack' is what comes to mind

which I think was circuit switched?

because bell's investment in circuit switching, I guess

maybe dan or bill have the ancient memories

Please remind me of this later? I need to read all of the above, but I have to finish this upstream merge before dinnertime US/Eastern.
