"ForwardAgent no" in ~/.ssh/config will do this automatically.
Is it "yes" by default? If so, that seems insane given what the op said about it. But other comments say it's "no" by default. If it's "no" by default, why are people alarming us by bringing this up? And why for terminal.shop in particular?
Maybe there was some blanket advice in the past to enable it? Idk, this got me alarmed for nothing.

#183I long for an alternate dimension where terminal-based internet like Minitel dominated . Something like hypercard implemented with 80x24 ncurses UI
The real power of the internet all along in my opinion was networked databases. Everything else is fluff and not a particularly great use of resources.
networked spreadsheets would have been ideal

#184I've been toying around with an ssh based casino recently.

#185I can't test this due to the product being out of stock, but I wonder what their approach to PCI compliance is. Processing credit card data has a high compliance burden if you're unwilling to use a secure widget made by an already-authorized provider like Stripe. That's for a good reason, most web and mobile apps are designed such that their backend servers never see your full credit card number and CVV. You can't do…
They mention in the faq that they use Stripe - https://www.terminal.shop/faq . Stripe does offer integrations that are not natively using their widgets. Ultimately, the PII data is stored at Stripe. PS: I work at Stripe but I don't really work on the PCI compliant part of the company.
Interestingly Stripe started life as /dev/payments and I seem to remember the first iteration was an agent on your server that literally processed card payments when you wrote the details to /dev/payments

#186This is really cool. I wonder how they pipe the data to stripe? As an aside kind of funny to see this pop up. I was just talking about if anyone was doing ordering through a cli a while ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=39817617
With the stripe api
Why would their backend be different then any other website using stripe

#187I really like Fellow Drops: https://fellowproducts.com/pages/fellow-drops
It is SMS based. Each week they offer a different bean from a different roaster, and you reply with the number of bags you want. I've discovered a number of great roasters this way.

they get your ssh public key which is a unique identifier so that should be disclosed.
It's a public key. You should operate under the assumption that anyone could have it at any time.
what does that have to do with disclosing the potential for tracking?

#189hey! 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
Hey, nice work, how to get updates about the open source release ?
probably follow the twitter account @terminaldotshop

what did you expect when they said "startup" and not "shop"
Free coffee in exchange for all future rights to my productivity metrics.
knowing "startups" i'm sure their vision is streaming SSH subscription as a service . They track your keystroke rate and automatically ship new batches of $2/oz coffee when you get below 90 keystrokes/min
