And on that page is a link to a huge amount of TRS-80 software: https://willus.com/trs80/

Still checking it out, but in the meanwhile I wish it did automatic http -> https redirecting.

If you're interested in this, you may be interested in this as well: https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch

It has a GUI interface as well.

Sounds like a great product. But I hope you have a good security POC - won't be long before bad guys are hosting malware on those sharable links. I'm going to sign up, but just wanted to warn you.

Your pricing link appears to be down:

It's used to digitally sign software, not encrypting.
aptmiguk··on Ask HN: What are your absolute essential resources?
Search engines. Be it Google, DDG, Quant, or others, I use them so often I usually have at least one tab open just for that purpose.
aptmiguk··on Ask HN: What are the most fundamental books on computer science?
Check out https://github.com/cbourke - free Comp Sci books (I, II, and III).
aptmiguk··on Xfce 4.14 released
Love Xfce. I've never been able to get into a decent workflow with Gnome or KDE. Much lighter on resources it seems, too.

Congrats to the devs!

minisign is pretty cool. I've added its signature to my software releases along with md5/sha256.

aptmiguk··on Ask HN: Best things in your bash_profile/aliases?
Cool, I like the qq-tar-gz-it, but I changed it to this:

function qq-tar-gz-it () { tar -zcvf ${1}.tar.gz $1; }

Saves a step.

aptmiguk··on Ask HN: Best Command-Line Applications?
With xargs (and find), I wish I would've found this sooner:

find test -print0 | xargs -0 file

"This allows file names that contain newlines or other types of white space to be correctly interpreted by programs that process the find output. This option corresponds to the -0 option of xargs."
