Hello Everyone, Thanks for your replies. Honestly I've never had a lot of success using Putty, getting it to focus or track what i'm doing especially in a file I'm trying to edit, this is a welcome change. Is this client Microsoft's own implementation or did they bundle Openssh with windows? And can it handle multiple authentication types, public key, password etc Thanks. Dave.

Hi, They are using OpenSSH since i guess 1803 or so. $ ssh -V OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.7p1, LibreSSL 2.6.5 Greetings, Simon Am 02.06.2019 um 15:10 schrieb Andrew Hodgson: > Hi, > > I didn't know about this either, but it comes with Windows now either with version 1809 or 1903.

Windows ssh Client

Hello, I'm using SecureCRT Version 6.2.3, I know that's quite old, but until I went and atempted to harden my vps server's Openssh 7.8 setup it worked fine. This version does not support the more modern/advanced cryptographic hashes, macs, and kex algorithms. This I need to change. I've tried SecureCRT 8.x but I've found it not accessible and also does not support the secure setup I'm wanting. Is Tteraterm accessible/does it support secure ciphers? Thanks. Dave.

Hello Andrew, Thanks for your reply. In answer to your question, yes I've got wireless issues, some areas that have drop offs. That's why I was thinking mesh. How much did you pay for those orbis?

Mesh Network, Raspberry Pi, IP Camera setup, Night Surveillance, suggestions needed
by David Mehler 23 May '19

23 May '19

Hello, If anyone has any suggestions on mesh network products and setup, Raspberry Pi IP camera for surveillance setup, and integration please let me know. I'm needing some advice. My situation is this, I've got an area of my backyard that is needing to have an IP-based surveillance camera pointed at it to capture videos of any intruders. I've got several Raspberry Pis, and am wanting to use them in a video surveillance setup. My place has the cable modem and a router in the basement, then the main floor, then an upstairs area. I'm already thinking to support this setup of video surveillance I'm going to need to go mesh, put a wireless setup in each room I've got occational drops that I'm going to need to correct and thinking mesh might be the way. Once I get the mesh then going to get a Raspberry Pi camera and hook that to a pi then to an external drive for file storage. I'm thinking a 3 to 5 day rotation time, is this feasible? I'm also going to need a way to examine the files see if there's something other than blankness in them. Lastly, and this is a big one, i'd prefer not to break the bank on this. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks. Dave.

Microsoft Outlook for Windows hangs while switching to certain IMAP folders
by Jason White 20 May '19

20 May '19

Has anyone else experienced anything similar to the following with a recent Microsoft Outlook for Office 365 under Windows 10? How should I attempt to track it down further? If I move to any of a number of IMAP folders in the tree view containing the folder list, or if I use Ctrl-y to open a folder list and move focus to a desired folder, then I press enter to open that folder, Microsoft Outlook hangs (becomes unresponsive) and needs to be restarted. This happens when the folder is opened, not during the folder selection process. I haven’t been able to reproduce it with Microsoft Exchange folders via my work account. It appears to be an accessibility issue, in that shutting down the screen reader (either JAWS or NVDA), then opening the new folder, then re-enabling the screen reader works without hanging Outlook. As this implies, the problem can be reliably reproduced with both JAWS and NVDA, so I suspect a Microsoft issue. The server was upgraded recently (by me – it’s my own server hosted by Linode). Microsoft Office 365 and Windows 10 version 1809 have also seen recent upgrades, so it isn’t clear which change introduced the problem. All software is up to date, including the screen readers. Everything is fine in Microsoft Outlook for Mac and for iOS – it’s purely a Windows problem.

accidental delete of downloads directory, need to restore, urgent!
by David Mehler 19 May '19

19 May '19

Hello, I don't usually cross post, so please forgive this posting. I need help quite urgently actually. I made a mistake and accidentally deleted my download directory in my user profile, this is on a win10 pro 64 machine. The download folder was highlighted and I hit delete, I wanted to delete another folder not downloads so I realized I was on the wrong folder, hit tab to no or what I thought was no and hit enter, as I did my machine shut down. It's having a heating problem that I'm going to partially address today and fully address with a new case. On reboot I found that download directory was gone. I need to get it back. It's been quite a while since I've had to do this, help! Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

Recruiters and employers

14 May '19

I'm about to graduate with an associates degree in network and computer admin. I do have a job working at in the datacenter/lab at a community college which is giving me tons of experience with little stress, but it doesn't pay the bills. Do any of you know of reciters, staffing agencies, or employers in the US that aren't afraid to work with blind people? I've got some certs and experience with mostly Linux and Cisco, as well as some Windows server.
