I've been meaning to ask the same thing - the .bin file looks strange in my ANSI editor.

What ANSI editor is that?

I use TheDraw, but mostly PabloDraw.

This is what I see: https://realitycheckbbs.org/images/lbshell.png

That's because PabloDraw is assuming it's a "wide" (160col) BIN file. There's no SAUCE record on the file, so I'm not clear why doesn't think it's an 80x25. If I add a SAUCE record to the file (e.g. using exec/sauce.js -E) and specify 80 columns, it opens normally in PabloDraw.

But if you save the file with SAUCE information, lbshell.js with throw an error (from graphic.js), so you'll need to remove the SAUCE record before using it with lbshell.js.

That's great! I want to try out the lightbar, wanted to know how to customize it.

First time I've not even been given the option to view the site anyway... FYI:

"Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with realitycheckbbs.org. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails.

Advanced
What makes the site look dangerous?

Firefox is warning you about this site because the certificate provided for realitycheckbbs.org has been revoked and isn’t trusted anymore.
What can you do about it?

Probably nothing, since it’s likely there’s a problem with the site itself. You can check with the website owner to see if they are working on the problem."

Nick

yeah it looks like it's actually in the .crl file..

which usually means either it was manually revoked or the script that updates the certificate revokes the old one first before replacing it with a new one..

Oh, that's odd. I got a TLS error on the BBS, but when I view it I got
a valid cert. I just regenerated the cert - thanks for the heads-up!

No problem. FYI, it worked this time around. ;)
