I'm curious how they built this. It's SSH but the IP address is Cloudflare's edge network. It could be using CF Tunnel to transparently route all the SSH sessions to some serving infrastructure, but I didn't know you could publicly serve arbitrary TCP ports like that. Building it in serverless fashion on CF Workers would be ideal for scalability, but those don't accept incoming TCP connections.

hey - worked on this it's using Cloudflare Spectrum which can proxy any tcp traffic

will be talking more about this soon

Well I hope they enjoy getting a lot of fake emails, because that's what's gonna happen.

Many people forget that their email is included in the public key that is presented to the ssh server by default. So, the email collection form is actually somewhat redundant. But yes, I added my share of funny email addresses to their list. Tradition is a tradition.

Oh mine sure isn't. Mine is username@hostname, which doesn't even get you close to my email.

Regardless, I connected with:

    ssh -o IdentityAgent=/dev/null -i /dev/null terminal.shop
Really tempted to write a bot to spam that form... but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and wait to see if they come back in a week or so.

I just don't get why I can't read the FAQ even though they're sold out. Kinda missing their moment here by having nothing to do other than give an email and quit.

What do you mean? Public keys don't usually include an email address. They have an id that's usually in the form "user@host" but that's unlikely to be a valid email address. Maybe some systems use an email address there, but none of those I know.

I long for an alternate dimension where terminal-based internet like Minitel dominated . Something like hypercard implemented with 80x24 ncurses UI

ELisp and Emacs UI tools under the TTY version it's close.

Also, check gopher and gopher://magical.fish under Lynx or Sacc. The news section it's pretty huge for what you can get with very, very little bandwidth.

gopher://midnight.pub and gopher:/sdf.org are fun too.

And, OFC, the tilde/pubnix concept. SDF it's awesome.

Game programmers: it’s a video game, we don’t need the same kind of application security that other programs do Hacker: Hold my beer while I exploit this dude’s game client and makes it order 10,000 pizzas to his door

Why would you order 10,000 pizzas to someone else's door? Unless you don't have 10,000 hungry friends.

To cost them a lot of money for all those pizzas. And to cost the pizza shop money if they can’t collect payment for the pizzas. And to cause general grief and misery, as trolls are wont to do :(

hey! i'm one of the people who worked on this, we actually launched a few days ago and sold out quite quickly - we'll remove the email capture so you can poke around

we'll be back in a few weeks with proper inventory and fulfillment

we'll also be opensourcing the project and i can answer any questions people have about this

But, you could also not pay the money AND have the pizzas.

*disable ssh agent FORWARDING. Which honestly should always be disabled. There are no trusted hosts.

That's baby+bathwater. Just use ssh-add -c to have the ssh-agent confirm every use of a key.

Looks like they're sold out now.

The "enter your email for restock updates" part of the screen showed up as white-on-white on my light-mode-by-default Gnome Terminal on my first try and so I was slightly confused; sshing from `uxterm` worked fine though.
