Upgrade to ‎Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 on the Mac App Store

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/17

If you are still on version 8, then note this version will be deprecated at 20180901, so it is time to upgrade to [Archive.is‎Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 on the Mac App Store

[Archive.is] ‎Microsoft Remote Desktop 8 on the Mac App Store is now at version 8.0.44, which changed one thing:

This update adds a dismissible banner to the app UI to message the fact that the client will be deprecated soon. You can start using the new version of Remote Desktop today by downloading Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 from the App Store.

It is easy to import your RDP desktops from version 8 into version 18: in the menu, select Connections, then Import from Microsoft Remote Desktop 8, then enter your credentials so the saved logon passwords can be imported from the [WayBack] KeyChain.

A few things to note:

  • importing the Microsoft Remote Desktop 8 fails to import the Local Resource bindings
  • in Microsoft Remote Desktop 10, editing Local Resource binding right after adding them will crash

How to tell if your site is served via CloudFlare | Igor’s Blog

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/10

Based on [Wayback/Archive.isHow to tell if your site is served via CloudFlare | Igor’s Blog, I’ve changed the script a little bit.

I’ve tested it with one of the domains from the Cloudbleed list (a pretty OK indication the site is using cloudflare) and a the example.org site that does not:

# curl -sI https://feedly.com | grep "Server\|__cfduid\|CF-RAY"
Set-Cookie: __cfduid=d779ee6e244349cf06e2707771a9185e21492589239; expires=Thu, 19-Apr-18 08:07:19 GMT; path=/; domain=.feedly.com; HttpOnly
Server: cloudflare-nginx
CF-RAY: 351e5e9af8971497-AMS
# curl -sI https://example.org | grep "Server\|__cfduid\|CF-RAY"
Server: ECS (ewr/15BD)

ngHttp2 and OpenSSL win32/i386/x86 and win64/x64_86 (a.k.a. x86_64) builds for Windows

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/08/08

[WayBack] ngHttp2 DLLs has a simple a version scheme. The build inside the Windows PHP distribution includes these version numbers. The TreadSafe versions work as plug in replacement for github.com/grijjy/DelphiScalableClientSockets/tree/master/Bin which is used by github.com/grijjy/GrijjyFoundation/blob/master/Grijjy.Http.pas#L11. You obtain them via [WayBack] PHP For Windows: Binaries and sources Releases; and at the time of writing these were the most recent versions:

[WayBack] OpenSSL DLLs has a much more complex version scheme, as they are numeric but OpenSSL releases are not.

  • DLLs have four numbers a.b.c.d
  • OpenSSL versions have three numbers and a letter a.b.c.x
  • The letter matches the fourth digit, though the ones marked with * have not been used yet:
    # letter # letter # letter # letter # letter remark
    1 a 6 f 11 k 16 p 21 u
    2 b 7 g 12 l 17 q 22 v *
    3 c 8 h 13 m 18 r 23 w *
    4 d 9 i 14 n 19 s 24 x *
    5 e 10 j 15 o 20 t 25 y *
    26 z *

[WayBack] Index of /SSL has “Pre-compiled Win32/64 libraries without external dependencies to the Microsoft Visual Studio Runtime DLLs, except for the system provided msvcrt.dll.”

These work no matter what development/deployment stacks you use (including a Visual Studio based stack).

The most recent version as of writing is 1.0.2o, which maps to 1.0.2.20 which contains libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll for both the i386-win32 and x86_64-win64 build (not sure why they both use 32 in the name):

openssl-1.0.2o-i386-win32.zip
openssl-1.0.2o-x64_86-win64.zip which supports x86_64 as this site is about the only one using x64_86 in the name

Background reading:

These binaries are for instance used by (most of them are behind or far behind on the OpenSSL version):

  • Avira Antivirus
  • subversion
  • git mingw64
  • VMware Tools
  • Microsoft OneDrive
  • Delphi Indy communications library

Speaking of which: this is a recent Delphi wrapper around libeay32.dll: [WayBack] GitHub – lminuti/Delphi-OpenSSL: Delphi implementation of OpenSSL
