Decrypting old HP200lx / HP100lx / HPLX palmtop memo files [and package search]
[I am not subscribed to this mailing list. Is it OK to ask if you can include me on any replies or must I subscribe?] I want to decrypt my old HPLX memo [ASCII] files. I am pretty sure I remember the short password. There might have been packages that are designed for decrypting those files, or that emulate the application. However, they do not seem to exist on bullseye. Older releases had more HPLX packages. I searched the package database. but all I found is lx-gdb, which is not useful for this case. The site I used does not seem to go before buster. Also, I am not sure how to use old packages, but I figured this is a good place to start. === As for other ideas, I searched for old DOS tools but did not find anything that seemed relevant that I could download. They might still exist, but they might be proprietary or closed source. I don't know how to use them on Linux. The database application (GDB) encryption algorithm was different from the memo application. I think the memo files are plain unformatted DOS ASCII, encrypted using 1990s tech. -- The Kafka Pandemic A blog about science, health, human rights, and misopathy: https://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com

I just took a quick poke at this by using the following k/t debootstrap: http://deb.debian.org/debian By clicking through on dists/Debian12.5/, the following possibilities appeared: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian12.5/main/installer-armel/ http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian12.5/main/binary-armel/ Those are directly via Debian instead of mirrors. To help Debian servers over the years, I've had success by e.g. snipping from "dists/" on then searching on that part plus the name of whatever mirror I was favoring at the time. That worked about 95% of the time and helps spread the server download wear-and-tear across the Net.. Hope that somehow helps.

AFAIK ssh is mono-threaded (like OpenVPN, unless you use the kernel
module). wireguard is multi-threaded.
The symptom will be one CPU ("core") at 100% and the rest mostly
idle.
can not find repo
i don't see an armel repo on any of the mirrors i checked it was there a week ago has it been deleted or am i just old and blind
