I 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.

pretty sure they are running maintenance rn. OP posted <40mins ago that they were taking it down temporarily for some spam proteciton. I personally can't even connect

Should be good now, HN stresses out my server haha

One thing that could help with the bots is leveraging some of the community generate blocklists for the ssh bots such as blocklist.de though there are other providers. It may not stop all of them, but will cut down a lot on the noise. These are generally useful for any ssh instance exposed to the internet.

FYI if you use an openssh client and you can't disconnect via closing the remote shell normally, type RET+tilde+period in sequence to close it forcefully without losing your local shell. There are more RET+tilde shortcuts as well.

Devzat will be temporarily down while I figure out some good auto-moderation

yeah it was a matter of time before people starting spamming

I would have expected some self selection: these are people from HN who know how to use SSH. Not exactly a high bar but implies some proficiency with software.

based on my past experiences of hiring and connecting with people from HN & YC

they've been some of the worst. I don't know what it is about this site that people place so much positive bias here.

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?

I 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 using for other things!). RSA support is being phased out in various places.

Just confirming that I had to do this first and it started working. It was originally giving me the Permission Denied (publickey) error.
