Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 14:58:15 GMT
Link: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/work_i...

An account flagged DELETED or INACTIVE could still log on via SSH, SFTP or
RLogin. Those paths resolve the account name themselves and, on a successful
authentication, jump straight to logon(), bypassing login(), which was the
only place the flags were checked. Thanks to StingRay for identifying this
bug and DM for the quick fix. To patch, review the Dev Update instructions

Official support ended October 14, 2025. The original consumer ESU period was
set to run through October 2026. In late June 2026, Microsoft updated its
support documentation so the program now runs through October 12, 2027.
Existing enrollments were extended automatically; new enrollments remain
available until that date. This is security-only updates (critical/important
patches), not feature updates or full support. Enrollment options for
personal devices are typically free via a Microsoft account + Windows Backup
sync, 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points, or a one-time $30 payment (with some
regional variations). Would you like to know more? [https://tinyurl.com/win10-

Link: https://andy5995.github.io/immortal-barons/

Immortal Barons (IB) is a modern, open-source strategy door game for BBSes
and terminals. Players manage a post-apocalyptic barony buying land,
developing technology, raising armies, conducting covert operations and
battling rival empires locally or through inter-BBS leagues. IB is an
independent tribute to Mehul PatelΓÇÖs classic 1990s BBS door game, Barren
Realms Elite. It recreates most all of BREΓÇÖs familiar strategy and gameplay
in a fresh, cross-platform door, while adding modern enhancements and
expanded league play. A number of great updates have been made in the last
few months so if you've yet to review, nows the time. Thank you for all the
time and effort that you've put in to IB Andy Alt! For more info and to
download visit: [https://andy5995.github.io/immortal-barons/] To join the

Title: New drop file for BBS doors in development

Link: https://realdeuce.github.io/bbsdev.drp/

RealDeuce is creating BBSDEV.DRP, a small line-oriented format for handing a
live BBS session to a door. It retains the easy sequential parsing of classic
drop files while specifying the details they left ambiguous: UTF-8 text,
absolute logoff time, terminal geometry and encoding, stable user identity,
modern I/O mechanisms, and forward-compatible versioning. Modern BBS packages
(like Synchronet) and Doors (like Immortal Barons) are already adding
support. Would you like to know more?

On August 25, 1991, Torvalds announced the project on the comp.os.minix
Usenet newsgroup, stating: "I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a
hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This
has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any
feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my target brain is a
386/486 AT clone." The post sought input from Minix users on desired
improvements, emphasizing its non-commercial intent and compatibility with
GNU tools. [https://grokipedia.com/page/Linux]

Link: https://x-bit.org/spitfire/

TLDR: Spitfire is once agina working in 2026+ And it has a few tools to help
it on its way: 1) Months of binary review to locate/fix the Y2K & Y2K25
issues 2) SFNetAdd32 is a win32 tool that reads .NA files and auto-add to
your msg DB 3) SFToss32 is a win32 tosser so you can once again join FTN nets
4) SFPack32 is the new SF message packer - old one could corrupt the messages
5) SFPckUsr32 is SF's new user backer - old one would delete real users 6)
SFAME & SFSME (full screen msg editor) Y2K patching 7) Y2K/Y2K25 patched the
official shareware version 8) etc.. etc Would you like to know more? In
short, i had a hard time giving up on my first BBS software I used and reg'ed
in the early 90s. If you still have your reg'ed copy and would like to try
and get it going again see below! [https://x-bit.org/spitfire/] [https://x-
