> Your cooldown is tied to your SSH key

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

I love ssh apps! See also late.sh, and my own https://shellbox.dev
Mine is hard to get to(ip6 only) but was started around the idea of a shared postgres database.

ssh applicant@register.public.outband.net

The web page https://www.public.outband.net hosted on the same box, if you can see it you have the needed ip6.

No users yet but feel free to try it out.

Ayy late.sh called out, my favourite hangout on the internet :) I'm in there every evening antagonizing the bartender
I can't see my cursor if it is placed on top of a cell that has already been colored.
This is fun, I tried to draw a flower but it sucks.
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.

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.
ssh superlogical.jobs
aw it didn't work with kitty. i get logged out.
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?

Would like to clarify that all my code is open source at https://github.com/jeninh/ssh.place , even the deployment is triggered through GitHub actions. I'm also a teen and not too familiar with most of these terms, so I might be forgetting something.
What is public can be changed in private, as for being unfamiliar, well LLM made unfamiliar people able to do plenty of things.

Weird that you can't just say that you are not doing it.

Time for your regular reminder that ssh has no PKI and is trivial to mitm during tofu.
SSH does in fact have a PKI, just not a global one. Large-fleet SSH installs all tend to use certificate authorities, for this reason (and to simplify SSO).
Takes all the fun out of it when people are multiboxing for the sake of posting an advertisement. Oh well.
Welp. Same thing happened in r/place
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.
Wish we had a WebSSH like WebSockets / IRC v3.
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 understand where you are getting from, thanks for posting this. I'll keep this in mind for my next project (or if I push changes to this one.) I also wanted this to appeal to non-hackers, and a big part of that was me wanting to show how simple it was to log in.
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
:-)
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.
I'll look into adding orange, thanks :)
it's already littered with bots, so it's not fun for a human to go there.
Such was r/place, and such is life. There is never a world where there will be no bots and it'll also be completely free for anyone to use online. I'll try to nerf it, though.
reminds me of the DOS program TheDraw
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.
aw someone deleted my weezer =w=
Why so few colors? Even with palette characters you can have 240 or so options, and with truecolor you can just have anything. Also, you can double your vertical resolution by using half block characters, setting the foreground color as the top half, and setting the background color as the bottom half. Something like this: `\x1b[38;2;{r};{g};{b};48;2;{r};{g};{b}m{half block character}`.
