Best worldwide outdoor map there is, with offline support. I use it very often to find trails not even locals know about (e.g. Japan). Don't forget to switch to Outdoor mode!


There is an optional (web) gui. However the primary audience is for those who prefer scriptability (or console/config files in general) over GUIs.



Google and Apple get all the glory - but some of you folks might find mapy.cz useful, esp when traveling abroad. Mobile app offers even offline tourist maps for the whole world, including contours -- https://en.mapy.cz/turisticka?x=-119.7422922&y=37.8326869&z=...


And the rendering is oh so much better than the Google's. Google maps without aerial imagery is just a blur of grey. You can't see natural landmarks (even basic forrest/not forrest), buildings, blocks, it's all roughly the same color and the map is absolutely useless for what is map supposed to be. It's only good for search and navigation. Of course they save their crap renderer by having very good imagery.

Also, there's https://windymaps.com/app which is the same app I think, just focused on international users.


I just checked the Arial iamgery of my home and the data appears to be more than 6 years old.


It all depends on what kind of company are you in, what kind of people are your superiors, etc. How much politics and backstage dealing is involved?

In an ideal situation I would say call be honest and tell the stakeholders your view.

On the other hand, from my corporate experience, it's not always the best course of action. See - as lwj1001 already said - some companies play sort of meta-game, where certain things are known but never said out loud. If you are in a position to change the environment - great! (But this is not likely the best opportunity to do so). Otherwise... I would still say your opinion to those who need to be informed, or even better - write them an email. The reason is - you might have to cover your ass in the near future. The worst that can happen is that everyone assume everyone know yet there is someone who doesn't.


It's quite probably because of compatibility with the older clients. Unfortunately you can't simply use only the safest algorithms out there because the clients wouldn't be able to connect :/

SSH libraries written by Rebex. With the exception of ECC it's all closed-source.


I'll take a look - it will take some time as I am currently swamped. Can you please check again in few days? Thanks!


I totally understand your concern.

However, here's my perspective:

- if the server is public already then black hats can simply probe your networks (IPv4 is not that big) and find the servers by themselves. The odds are that hackers are probably not interested in your company anyway.

- there are people who don't care about security of their servers (or rather are lazy / naive) and might find this service useful. Even if we were black hats it would at last alarm them that something is wrong. If they ignore the warnings - well - god help them.

EDIT: typos


Hi andreaso, do you happen to have a list of encryption algs on your side? We don't support chacha20-poly1305 (yet) and afaik aes in gcm mode, but e.g. aes ctr are reliable so I find it strange these are not supported on your side.


That sshd only supports the chacha20-poly1305 cipher.

Perfectly fine with that, since I'm the only one logging into that server.


It is not, but thanks for sharing that link, looks very useful!
