Viss@april i appreciate that your default gateway is despair
James Renken@april I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😁 I really need to rewrite the backend soon to be compatible with modern kernels.

MastaG@april Brilliant! Just did it myself! I time out on the last server but I loved it. 
Aaron Sawdey, Ph.D.@april That's great! 🤣
Jon Wilson@april also, check the ssl cert chain for signed.bad.horse

Soozcat@april Ah, the Thoroughbred of Sin makes another appearance

@april TIL that when I try this on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS not only do i need to install traceroute but I need to add —resolve-hostnames to see them
Since when do we not install network utils on a Linux distribution by default?

Minnà Pandora@[email protected] not sure what's the matter with not including traceroute then :-/ @april
Scout Da Woof@spmatich I usually use the mtr package for running traceroutes

M0KHRThere were a lot more songs, submitted by the public, as application letters.

Tim@april This makes me all kinds of happy. Thanks for sharing!
Richard Hendricks@april Hahaha, love it.
StarkRG@april Reminds me of the Star Wars text crawl traceroute which then reminds me of the ASCII art Star Wars telnet server (which is now a web page).
It's been many years, and I'm not near a proper computer so I can't check to see if it's still functioning.

Pseudo NymThanks for the blast from the past.
For some reason I had it in my head it was the "Stallion of Sin" - probably for the alliteration - but it's not
Matt HallThis is the kind of brilliance that the internet is _for_.
👻™ supreme goblin 🐊@april Oh man I'm so glad this still works

@april nice use of a /26, I guess...

SuranIndeed.
Someone had fun here.
Does the content section of ICMP packets for echo requests reaching their TTL contain the hostname?
David@april And they did it in TLS as well:
openssl s_client -connect signed.bad.horse:443 -servername signed.bad.horse

@april amazing.

afastaudir8@april This is funny
Dan Neuman 🇨🇦@april That's been running since at least 2015. I'm surprised it isn't more widely known. I didn't learn of it myself until about 6 months ago.
podfeet@april This is why I love people.

So at a linux (or equivalent) terminal, type this: $ telnet mapscii.me Get an interactive world map. In your terminal. Zoom in and out with A and Z, use the arrow keys to move. Astonishing.
That ever so slight Apple bias 🥺
Looks like nc might work instead

(Sorry, can't test right now - 1) I'm in my car waiting to pick up my son from swimming and 2) our Mac has broken so I couldn't even test it at home anyway!)
How do I connect to Telnet via Mac Terminal?
Answer: The same way you connect to a telnet servers in any other terminal: By using a command-line [code ]telnet[/code] client (or a similar tool). Apple has removed [code ]telnet[/code] from recent versions of macOS (I think starting with macOS 10.13 High Sierra, but I could be wrong) in favor...
@edross @april `brew install telnet`
but even with telnet installed it’s trying 44.227.65.245 without success.
The good news is I found the open source project for mapscii and it turns out this cool interactive map is all created usingi Braille of all things!
GitHub - rastapasta/mapscii: 🗺 MapSCII is a Braille & ASCII world map renderer for your console - enter => telnet mapscii.me <= on Mac (brew install telnet) and Linux, connect with PuTTY on Windows
