I leave for 10 minutes to get lunch, and everything blows up? Too bad. This makes me want to host my own instance now. EDIT: Don't think it was banning, I can't hit the server from anywhere now. EDIT2: Why not. Give this a shot: ssh human.org.in -p 4001 Meet in the room "test".

#23Seems cute. Might be a fun gadget to host on a Pi or whatnot. > Hand-written in x86_64 assembly language Oh. Not sure if cross-internet capable communication tools constitutes the "worst" example of hand written assembly, exactly, but... yeah, it has to be up there. I'm sure it was fun to hack, though.
The only thing really worse there is that the number of people who could audit the code is much smaller. That guy wrote a whole SSL library in assember, so he probably didn't just finish some assembler tutorial and decided this was a good first lil project. Assember is usually just considered bad/dangerous by people who have no clue about it and consider it something magical. It's not. At least not significantly more…
I'm certainly not afraid of machine code, I actually get paid to write it. But this just isn't a good choice technically. Though it's impressive and like I said was surely a lot of fun and worth showing off.

No, I think portability is definitely the worst thing. It's a communication tool. It's perfectly reasonable to want to run this on your Pi or your phone or in your browser or your IoT device of the week. And you can't because of an implementation choice.

#25Well I think I was banned from the server 2ton.com.au. Not sure why but it was fun while it lasted. sshtalk is a pretty cool utility!
Re: Sshtalk: An SSH-based chat made in assembler
#26I love how you can SSH to a server and be presented with a login / registration screen. I would love to adapt this for use with an open source project I'm making, but don't think I have the fortitude for assembly. Anyone have any tips on how something like this is achievable using a more modern/approachable tooling stack?
If golang is your thing, take a look at this[0] or that[1]. You can probably find similar ones with some quick research. The neat part is that you can easily pull down someone's github keys and automatically authenticate them against that identity. You can follow up with an email/password registration as a backup identity provider, if you really want to push the envelope (and save the public key for future automatic…
