I'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. :)

Im not a command liner but was curious to check this out. I tried running ssh-keygen and the "Enter file in which to save the key (C:\Users\.../.ssh/id_rsa):" prompt appears and I lose ALL keyboard input to the command line. No CTRL C, no text, no enter. Cant do anything. Anyone aware of what the problem is?

Windows 10 PowerShell

Post a video of a demo of it. Might drain attention :)

Good idea, idk how to make good videos, probably an asciinema would be good

ASCII Enemas should be a last resort. When all else fails.

> 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.

I'm in the terminal / chat right now. This is giving me major 90's nostalgia! Incredible.

Yeah, same here -- serious 90's nostalgia in the best way. This is awesome.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Would an internal Matrix homeserver meet that need?

Or an internal IRC server. Or a Zulip server. Matrix is overkill if you're never going to federate it.

What makes you say that?

the hash is only visible to me, but I'd rather have to spend 10 minutes cracking an IP than just be able to see them plaintext
