Show HN: Browse my blog with netcat/plain TCP

It's a bit funny how timeattack is trying to not disclose the nature of the bug publicly and goes through the trouble of sending a private email and notifying here, then you spill the beans publicly in a reply. :D

It might be obvious to many, but to many more it would not be. It just raises the chances of someone exploiting it before anderspitman fixed it.

Window was pretty small though, so that's good.

Yeah, it was pretty bad.

I don't think it would be. With the current setup you can almost completely avoid using the keyboard. In bash, you just triple-click and middle-click to follow a link. You don't even need to move the mouse between clicks. Selecting a line with triple-click includes the newline needed to execute the command. Zsh has protection against executing from a paste, so you would need to hit the numpad enter key with you thumb after pasting with the middle-click. This is assuming that your desktop environment doesn't prevent you from using Xorg's PRIMARY selection clipboard.

If you haven't used PRIMARY before, you don't need to Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V (that's the CLIPBOARD clipboard). Middle-clicking does the copy and paste at once from the last selection.

I find it nice for mindless browsing. In contrast, changing the last few characters means the action is different for each link. You need to pay attention to the id of the post and write it. Also, you need to memorize the number/path, because most terminals will scroll to the bottom when you start typing.
