ssh late.sh - a cozy command-line Clubhouse for computer people
So first, what are we? A Clubhouse inside the terminal, where people can take a break, chill, chat with others all around the globe, listen to music, play some games, or paint on a live artboard :). ssh late.sh (or use the companion CLI) That's all. No passwords. No OAuth. No accounts. Your SSH key is your identity. Honestly, I've been a little nervous to post this. I wanted the Clubhouse to be something I'm genuinely proud of before sharing, and I think we are finally there :) There is so much here, so I'll really try to focus on the core: - full-scale chat, mentions, rooms, public and…
In plain words
ssh late.sh is a terminal-based social platform where developers can chat, listen to music, play games, and collaborate on a shared artboard. It uses SSH keys for authentication instead of passwords or accounts. The service features public and private chat rooms, direct messaging, a community music playlist with voting, and various games. It's designed for programmers seeking a casual, cozy online space to connect with others globally without traditional account setup.

So first, what are we? A Clubhouse inside the terminal, where people can take a break, chill, chat with others all around the globe, listen to music, play some games, or paint on a live artboard :). ssh late.sh (or use the companion CLI) That's all. No passwords. No OAuth. No accounts. Your SSH key is your identity. Honestly, I've been a little nervous to post this. I wanted the Clubhouse to be something I'm genuinely proud of before sharing, and I think we are finally there :) There is so much here, so I'll really try to focus on the core: - full-scale chat, mentions, rooms, public and private, DMs, reactions, image previews, full-quality images, icon picker, anything you need - music, hop into the YouTube booth (WebView using wry) to listen to the community playlist, submit, vote, skip, or listen to 600+ server tracks divided into three categories (lofi, ambient, classical) - games, single and multiplayer, sudoku, minesweeper, tetris, snake, nonograms, poker, blackjack, chess, and much more. Leaderboards and badges! First truly server-wide game is in the PR! - live artboard, think r/place but in a TUI, draw, paint, or just enjoy. Daily and Monthly snapshots, check them out here: https://late.sh/gallery - shop, buy a new fully-dynamic bonsai to take care of, or maybe a new aquarium, fill it with ASCII fish, or what about a new pet to play with? Quests, daily and weekly + streaks to help you win more chips - news, rss/atom feeds, connect your own, share with others, auto-generated summaries with a nice ASCII thumbnail shared globally - directories, a dedicated space to showcase your projects, another to build your "work" profile, and it all rolls up into your live web profile: https://late.sh/profiles (someone has already been hired thx to it!), and another one for co-op tools, right now a canvas builder inside the TUI - and the NEWEST addition, VOICE chat :) without a browser! This has already grown into a team effort. Amazing people, amazing contributions, amazing vibe. Big ones in the pipeline: more BBS/full-scale server, real-time games :) Hop in, take a break and enjoy ;) Code: https://github.com/mpiorowski/late-sh Landing: https://late.sh Demo: https://late.sh/play License: FSL-1.1-MIT

Hi HN, I wrote a custom SSH server in Go, give it a try. It uses your terminal user and SSH keys to authenticate implicitly. Instead of getting a shell, you get an IRC-style chatroom with everyone else. $ ssh chat.shazow.net If you're getting "Permission denied (publickey)", please use ssh-keygen to create a keypair. Instructions here: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/ SSH is a really cool protocol; it's a lot like HTTP2. This is a demo of one thing you can do with it, but I plan to factor out the code into libraries that will let you build all…

Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
