Hey, is it not just a simple honeypot reverse hack ssh server?

People understand that reverse hacking can happen when connecting to random ssh server, right?

Why is there no orange? The entire colour palette is a bit depressing.

Also my terminal (Ubuntu in WSL2) had an ugly colour palette defined by default with several identical colours. I'm glad I found out!

Use this to check yours:

    for i in {0..15}; do
     printf "\e[48;5;%dm  %2d  \e[0m " "$i" "$i";     (( (i + 1) % 8 == 0 )) && echo;
    done
and then press ctrl + , to change it.

If you have a slight interest in originality of presentation, whatever website copy first comes out of Claude is not there yet. Its preoccupation with "no x, no y" and annoying runs of sentence fragments might have been a punchy rhetoric for a short while before it became a tired cliché, but by now it stylistically makes it look more like you're bragging on LinkedIn than presenting something fun and creative.

I mention it because it's immediately off-putting even though the project itself sounds fun enough. It tarnishes it with the impression that maybe you just don't care, but maybe you just aren't attuned to the style and its strong slop connotations.

I'm genuinely fascinated by the problem and I've wondered what in the training process causes the model to develop this peculiar style of writing. Is it because it's trained on old Medium slop? Someone else replied with a link to their SSH-based VPS, where the copy is absolutely saturated with the same annoying style.

I love the idea. I couldn't get it to work; I navigated to (0,0) but didn't see a cursor; kept changing colors and trying to place blocks but saw nothing. Eventually my Ghostty crashed.

Are we coordinating factions here, like the original r/place? The social aspect was such a big part of the original. I'll start:

# PURPLE FRAME #

Our mission is to draw a purple frame around the canvas. 2 rows of blank space between the frame and the top/bottom of the canvas. 4 cols of blank space between the frame and the left/right of the canvas.

I can't see my cursor if it is placed on top of a cell that has already been colored.

I love ssh apps! See also late.sh, and my own https://shellbox.dev

So cool! If I wanted to make a similar product, how should I do it? Do you have any advice or research directions? I saw a company using SSH for hiring a couple of days ago, and I thought it was really cool. I also want to build something similar.

Nice, I first saw this on Hack Club ;) Check your terminal to see if it supports certain colours, on mine the darker and lighter colours (eg. maroon/red, purple/magenta) look identical.

> Your cooldown is tied to your SSH key

This sounds like a recipe for bots that bypass the cooldown...

Hah nice! I made something a bit like this too:

    ssh paint.dn.ht
It's using kitty/iTerm2/Ghostty image placement + pixel mouse reporting support for drawing.

..and for more fun:

    ssh ski.dn.ht

Wish we had a WebSSH like WebSockets / IRC v3.

Make sure to not be forwarding ssh agents! :)

it's already littered with bots, so it's not fun for a human to go there.

Takes all the fun out of it when people are multiboxing for the sake of posting an advertisement. Oh well.

Time for your regular reminder that ssh has no PKI and is trivial to mitm during tofu.
