<description><![CDATA[We have disk notes made using other people's disk noters. There are recracks. There are ripped-off intros. So there's really a plethora of software on here that is of other people's making.<br />
<br />
Also, I know some authors of EF software who use scripts designed by other people. Sure, it doesn't have the flashy EF intro but it's still someone else's script.<br />
<br />
But you go ahead and argue over a single release... I've already sent in the request to close my account. Sad little grown men telling others what they can and can't do. :)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I see several versions of Maverick and Fast Hack'Em on here, despite not being scene releases.<br />
<br />
I spent a few weeks gathering up as many copy program versions as I could find (primarily nbz format) and picked up a few originals from E-bay.<br />
<br />
While I'm not going to upload them all here (not sure if they qualify), they're available for others who are into collecting.<br />

<description><![CDATA[According to the 'rules', changing a program qualifies as a crack. As the protection was removed (and it plays on EF), it's a crack.<br />
<br />
It's no different than Forum_64 which has a large collection of games created using the conversion program.<br />
<br />
Improving upon the author's script (unchanged for over 10 years) to be more diversive can't be a bad thing, and he is credited.<br />
<br />
My consensus is you're just trying to start drama. But that's the way right? I don't like something someone else is doing for their hobby, I must create an argument on the forum. Twenty other people will throw in their two cents and in the end nothing changes.<br />
<br />
Give it a week, it will fall off the list of New Releases and you can smile again.]]></description>

Micromputer. Echt? <br />

This is clearly an standard intro to be used for their other products as well, that target the Atari and such. The man should have read &quot;micro-computer&quot;. ;-) <br />

<link>http://csdb.dk/forums/?roomid=7&amp;topicid=176326&amp;rss#176351</link>
<description><![CDATA[<font color="#7c7c7c" size="1">Quoting Radiant<blockquote><i>I had a look at running a dial-up BBS some ten-fifteen years ago, but it turned out the physical phone network at least over here was dismantled already back then &mdash; all calls were routed over VoIP, even if you happened to live in a building that still had a physical landline. In addition to the pointlessness of trying to avoid using the Internet by, well, using the Internet, people claimed it wouldn't work well with modems due to the compression. IDK.</i></blockquote></font>This is correct, POTS infrastructure simply doesn't exist any more. I just want to add that it's not about &quot;avoiding the Internet&quot;, but using it in a way that offers secure end-to-end communication. VoIP would actually offer that, but it's not a good option for the reason you gave: It won't reliably transport the modulated signal of a classic modem.<br />
<br />
<font color="#7c7c7c" size="1">Quoting Radiant<blockquote><i>I think grassroots long range mesh networking is the only somewhat realistic alternative nowadays, and Meshtastic seems to have at least some traction.</i></blockquote></font>I think using the Internet in *some* way is the only viable option today. Something like LoRa won't give you any fundamental benefit, you still need full end-to-end encryption to protect against eavesdropping, and that's still something a C64 can't do, so you'll depend on additional hardware doing that for you, so it's pretty much comparable to using the internet, just based on some ad-hoc infrastructure instead and therefore very likely much less reliable.<br />
<br />
To put it more generically, I see two possible directions:<br />
<br />
1. Keep using plain TCP and try to mitigate at least the most horrific security holes in a way a C64 can still handle ... that's what I try to do at least for the login process in my document linked above.<br />
<br />
2. Somehow offer a secure end-to-end connection by other means (could be that meshtastic encryption if not using the internet, but could also simply be a line over TLS using something simple like stunnel, or even the SSH connection gpz mentioned, etc pp). This could give &quot;true&quot; (state of the art) security, but you'll always depend on additional hardware offering that encrypted layer. It *might* be an option to design a C64 &quot;network interface&quot; that offers such functionality, kind of similar to existing solutions already offering plain TCP (so, the C64 at least doesn't have to implement these lower layers in software).]]></description>
