Nostalgic for 90s IRC and BBS chat
From 4 comments
I'm in the terminal / chat right now. This is giving me major 90's nostalgia! Incredible.
gzer0 on HNYeah, same here -- serious 90's nostalgia in the best way. This is awesome.
thenberlin on HNBack in the mid 90's, I used to hang out on what was called vrave, a telnet based chat hosted at hyperreal.org (Apache's' Brian Behlendorf's rave archive/culture site). This is…
jawngee on HNI've just spent an hour on here when I should really be sleeping. Reminded me a lot of public IRC channels back in the day, surprised how fun it was to hang out with everyone. :)

Clean, fun, minimalist chat experience
From 3 comments
Looks cool, joined and made friends with a french dude. Totally forgot how cool irc-like minimalism can be sometimes.
nog0x7cd on HNThis is fun. Well done!
wferrell on HNDamn this is sick! I'll bookmark this so I can mess around with this later!

SSH public key auth fails with RSA keys; needs ed25519
From 3 comments
I just get "Permission denied (publickey)". The README says to just run ssh-keygen, but I already have an RSA key. Does this server only support ed25519 or something?
makeworld on HNI think you are correct. Was able to get in by first doing `ssh-keygen -t ed25519` to create new private/public keys (be careful not to overwrite ssh keys that you are already…
kerblang on HNJust confirming that I had to do this first and it started working. It was originally giving me the Permission Denied (publickey) error.

Server froze or went down under load and spam
From 3 comments
Is this working now? I logged on and can't do anything and nothing seems to be happening, i just get a snippet of text starting "38m earlier"
heyitsguay on HNI typed "hello" and hit Enter, and the whole thing froze. Had to close my shell because I couldn't get out of the chat session any other way. Not great.
zomglings on HNSeems frozen

Hangman and command output have bugs or odd behavior
From 3 comments
I like it. A few observations: * Hangman doesn't give you credit for all instances of a letter when you guess it * Starting a new game of hangman (maybe also TTT?)…
bovermyer on HNFor Hangman, I started a game with the word as "panda." There are two "a" characters. The person who guessed "a" only revealed one of them. The rules of Hangman are that every…
bovermyer on HNI really dig this, but if I issue a command like cd, the output should only be showed to the person who issued the command. but this is really fun! nice job!

geoah on HNLots of fun, but the issue with the images (is this the problem?) needs to be fixed. And the command issue where everyone sees the output - I wonder how hard that would be to…

Questions
Why is the IP address hashed and is the hash crackable
From 1 comment
> bans use that and a hash of IP Why hash it? There are <2^32 IP(v4) addresses, so it would be trivial to crack the hash.

Does exposing SSH public keys leak identity
From 2 comments
Did you know you are exposing your identity for each "permission denied" error? SSH repeatedly tries all of your public keys to authenticate. Someone was able to harvest that and…
leowoo91 on HNTIP: If you want to be truly anonymous, don’t use the same identity file that you use to ID yourself with Github since the latter publishes your pubkey in…

0xbadcafebee on HNYou might wanna check it out. Things like code quotes and expand/collapse would be cool to add to an IRC client. I think some clients already support emoji as it's just UTF8?…

geoah on HNI believe https://github.com/charmbracelet/wish is the repo you're looking for! (and also the repo the person you replied to probably meant to post)

Matrix or Zulip for internal chat
From 2 comments
Would an internal Matrix homeserver meet that need?
adhesive_wombat on HNOr an internal IRC server. Or a Zulip server. Matrix is overkill if you're never going to federate it.
