How to use a Raspberry Pi to provide WiFi for Ethernet-only devices, and how to use stunnel as a SOCKS server ro provide indirect TLS support

What's this?

I love MSX computers. I have developed quite a few things for them, including a TCP/IP stack and some networking applications. Some other MSX nerds have developed networking hardware, so boom! Here it is, Internet access from MSX, a 1980s 8 bit machine. How cool is that?

However there are a few issues that prevent us the MSX users to reach the absolute networking happiness:

  1. At the time of this writing, there isn't any solution for wireless Internet for MSX, only Ethernet hardware.
  2. InterNestor Lite, the TCP/IP stack for MSX, doesn't support TLS. It's not that the developer (me!) is too lazy to implement it, it's just that a Z80 can't handle the required encryption algorythms. Trust me, I tried.

So

Git: Pacman Installation on Git For Windows #git

Git For Windows (GitBash) Pacman Installation

The 'Git for Windows' by default does not come with MSYS2 package manager called 'Pacman' and hence it is a limited version or subset of the MSYS2. Also the bash which supplied wih 'Git for Windows' is not a full version of bash hence does not provide for full Linux environment.

However you can get package manager support inside 'Git for Windows' in following ways :

  1. Install full MSYS2 and build Git for Windows yourself (Most git users don't require all packages and MSYS2)
  2. Install Git for Windows SDK (heavy & consumes around 3-5 Gb space)
  3. Use a hack to merge the MSYS2 Pacman packages with your existing Git for Windows installation
