    From NuSkooler@21:1/121 to All on Mon Aug 21 10:15:25 2023
    I just want to drop a quick plug of icy_term for all those that have not yet tried it. Mike has done an AMAZING job on this terminal, and it's still very very new. It is quickly becoming my default.

    Yesterday I spent some time adding SSH and WebSocket (both secure and non-secure) support - both of which are now in and functional. We plan on adding PublicKey auth as well, and I'll update enigma to support it.

    Mike is working on Wasm support. Meaning, this will drop right into the browser when it's working. That will be in addition to all the major desktop and mobile platforms.

    And a bonus for some of us nerds: It's written in Rust!

    Check it out here:
    https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_term

    Note that you may need to supply your own build for now. If you have Rust, that's essentially git pull and 'cargo build --release'.

    For myself, I'd love feedback on SSH and WebSocket testing. Also, feedback on any oddities, or unsupported ESC sequences boards may be spitting out there.

    I saw the Syncterm font compatibility - it is really nice to see new terminals come onto the scene. Also, its so hard to create a software package that is as good, or offer new features, than the other existing feature-rich packages.

    Really awesome that Icy Term is developing - I've installed it on my computers... support, use and take a l00k... thanks for sharing, NuS.

    This is a really weird request. I'm wondering if SSH authentication and
    IEMSI support can both be used? My BBS doesn't support SSH, but I have an
    SSH server that telnets into the BBS. Obviously they both use different authentication. The SSH server uses user: bbs and password shsbbs and the
    BBS uses normal credentials. The auto login support works with it, but I
    don't have a way to enter 2 different sets of passwords. I wouldn't mind embedding the ssh login and password in the hostname ie
    bbs:shsbbs@shsbbs.net . This might be too much to ask for, only a handful of systems do this.

    Never heard of that but surely I can add an IEMSI user/pw for that setup. What's really needed is a pub key auth :).

    btw. which bbs is that?

    Just released 0.6.2.

    Added the IEMSI and upload text file feature. Many bugfixes, lots of small details.

    Get the latest builds from here: https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_term/releases/latest

    If you've features or bugs open a github issue - link inside the program menu :).

    0.6.2 is a great realease.

    I'll get this in pretty soon, perhaps this weekend if I have time. I'll be adding PubKey auth to enigma bbs to test it out, as well as standard SSH sessions to Linux/BSD boxes.

    This may be a dupe. I answered on "The Lab". I'm running a Debian VM with
    an SSH account that telnets locally into the BBS, keeping the telnet session secure. shsbbs.net, with a login of bbs and a password of shsbbs, then you
    log into the bbs normally.

    Gotcha, that's cool. I've been toying with the idea of writing a simple BBS frontend to handle all inbound connections and then route them appropriately. My motivation for this is that I like using Daydream which doesn't really have SSH support unless I want people using my actual BBS user :P thought process was that it could listen on the appropriate port, accept any un/pw, and internally route the connection via telnet to the traditional BBS. The benefit here would be that hypothetically you could pass credentials directly to the BBS, and you could do some cool frontend-y type stuff (bot blockers, ip range blocks, custom logging, etc).

    I was wondering if you'd done something like that ... well, more like was hoping lol.

    Gotcha, that's cool. I've been toying with the idea of writing a simple BBS frontend to handle all inbound connections and then route them

    if you're going to do SSH i'd use libssh (not related to libssh2). it allows a bit more freedom in how the ssh session progresses. for example as far as 'ssh' the protocol is concerned, by the time you're verifying username and password, all the encryption stuff is done, so you could have an ssh login prompt that is an entire ansi with cursor positioning stuff. if you use PuTTY, or perhaps others, ssh would then behave exactly like telnet. no weird jank with passwords nor the ugly ssh username prompt.

    you could also check if the user pre-sent login/password. if they did, save it. if one isn't provided, simply set the user as (for ssh) logged in. no prompt no nothin. the bbs login would progress just like over telnet. but if they sent one, you could have your sshd watch for login: once just like a scriptable telnet client would and pre-fill that data.

    maybe if you use a script like "press escape to load the bbs" you can make that script accept the IP address of the user by pressing another character, so then the IP is passed somehow to the BBS as well.

    or do some weird stuff like if they use the pre-filled login/pass, maybe the login/pass changes which bbs the sshd telnets to locally.

    i duno, there's some cool stuff that could be done with it i think.

    I added a config file and command line option - there are atm two settings that get stored - autoscroll and scroll speed.

    Let me know if you need more things. I'm general not really happy with the UI and workflow it needs some ideas.
    However works for my use cases but I don't use it very often.

    Same applies for my other tools - I've only very few users so I encourage giving more input.

    I think a config file is better, but yer the dev - it command line parameter, that would be fine I'll just edit my .desktop [Linux] file.

    Or, a settings menu in the application... I *love* icy_view, as I have been forever searching for an acidview.exe replacement - and Pabloview doesn't tick all the boxes.

    It's no BIG deal, but I do prefer scrolling when I press SPACE - or no scrolling at the start anyway... :P But no worries if it doesn't easily fit.

    It fits I just thoguht first that there is only 1 option but there are two. So it makes sense to store the state somehow.

    Maybe I'll add more stuff in the future need to take a closer look at acidview/iceview :). Didn't really research what these tools should be able to do.
