I love stuff like this. I made a widget for MacOS where you can see incoming |hi messages sent to your Urbit, as a kind of poor man's p2p chat. But I didn't add a feature to send hi messages, so you still need a CLI for that.

You can see what it looks like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bAx4Jx39jE&t=384s

(it's the widget in the bottom right of the screen)

Cool, the source code is amazingly readable. Also love the sense of humor :-D such as https://github.com/quackduck/devzat/blob/main/commands.go#L1...

When I read this comment, thought good readability it’s got to be Go

why is this downvoted?

I have a Raspberry Pi running a read-only server where some friends and I have a "poor man's IRC" chat, in that we all log in from Termux and post messages to one another using `wall`. It's absolutely ridiculous and I love it.

Install `finger` and you've practically got a social media platform.

"I suppose this will also lock the user out of sftp and scp?" No it wont! The specified command might provide sftp, scp, telnet or stream a film.

I stream a film at funky.nondeterministic.computer on port 22

hah

made me laugh

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_(protocol)

An old, old Internet protocol that was used to get information on a user, and could be used by users to post updates from their .plan files. Essentially plaintext social media for people with Internet connections in the 80s and (early-ish) 90s.

I had that "oh crap, I'm old" moment when my initial reaction was "what? You've never heard of finger?!" and then I remembered I last used it in the late 90s.

I'm glad your reaction was to assist the young folks. :)
