Says the subdomain link that lacks SSL. A wildcard certificate would have sufficed.

Kinda unforgivable to be on front page of HN in 2021 without https

Why exactly? Other than a lot of "potential problems" security theater?

People still send postcards, where they don't care if people read what's written on it..

Are there are any security precautions in using ssh (or telnet, netcat or curl for that matter) to connect to an unknown service like this?

A privacy precaution would be to `ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=password -o PubkeyAuthentication=no jobs.hackclub.com`. By default ssh will send all its public keys to a server unless given an identify file to use as an arg or in ~/.ssh/config.
