Late.sh – a command-line Clubhouse for computer people

I would prefer the connection instructions made clear that the default SSH username would be used to set up my username on the platform and display that to other users without initially seeking my consent. On $machine[work], I don't get to pick that $USER is my full name.

If this affects you, make sure you connect with `ssh [pseudonymous name]@late.sh`.

This is a really cool idea, and very appealing. Also very nice that it looks usable with just an SSH client. It would be useful if it was explained what the companion client is for?

Another small personal gripe: I think you should either remove the 1 line copy/paste sh install on the homepage, or add a link to a git repo on the homepage. I know it's possible to view the sh by visiting it, but a raw text file doesn't give any info about contributors or development process. Current form of no git repo and copy/paste bash pipe on homepage feels like a dark pattern.

Also for all these kind of ssh stuff. Please include server finger print so others verify.

Is this your server fingerprint?

ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:Tc7aeaaQulKJeF3C/zd2BKvq/KgaQTHyMPNa3s9K+aE.

Really reminds me of https://tilde.town

For those who don't know just discovered you can change your theme!

Ctrl + O -> Move down to your theme. Helps with the default one being a bit chaotic

Thanks for whoever made this. This is rad and gives me hope for the old internet vibes.

This is amazing! Even real icecast with irc <3 Even my fav game 2048, even with real LLM :D

Fantastic job mati!

shameless self plug for a similar ssh experience, but for baseball: https://mlbt.sh

I built it with the same stack and around the same time as late.sh, which I used for some inspiration.

also, mlbt can be run locally as a TUI.

This is like habbo hotel but for terminal nerds, amazing.

Pay no need to other comments over here, this is awesome. I showed this to my co-workers, they all love it.

OK, which one of yous tried to `sudo apt install bobs and vageen`?? xD

I loved the text contrast on the landing page. Grey text on a dark background.

For anyone looking for a safer way to evaluate this (like myself), feel free to use my safer ssh connection script[0].

That is a modern BBS! I love the idea. Though I guess most people these days don't know what a BBS is, if you don't, look it up.

I'm wondering how many ssh'd into this with the agent forwarding on?

Super cool and seems to have a depth of historical knowledge

I’m shocked to see that LORD can’t be used because of licensing. Legally I know that’s how it is, but it Just Feels Wrong(tm) that a popular game based on 9600baud phone modems is encumbered in the era of fibre, wifi, and smartphones

"your ssh key is your identity."

"don't trust us? use a throwaway key"

Reminder to be cautious about leaking public keys.

Once you leak your public key it could be used to check if another server recognizes that leaked public key.

I've never seen such a lame landing page for such a FREAKING COOL project. It's like a reverse trojan horse.

Anyway, with that critique aside, this is the coolest thing I've seen all quarter.

Is this just IRC

NEW web design with better contrast incoming! :D Thank you for the feedback :)

Design is illegible. Needs more contrast between text and background. I'm not even vision impaired and I was squinting immediately.

love this!

was panning to add similar things into my own macOS[1] ssh app with persistent SSH server.

Good work, thanks!

Looks neat, bookmarked and want to check it out!

Nice! I was just thinking about how much I love installing binaries instead of going to a website

this is amazing, great idea

why not just use irc?

I really love this!

Pretty cool ngl.

Ever see something new, and just know it’s going to survive?

Your site copy is great to the last drop.

Great submission.

this is amazing

And... Cue 1M dummies here running that code without even looking at it, SMH.
