The only place online I feel truly free of identity hysteria is write/read accessed in this Lua script:
#! /usr/bin/env lua if arg[1] then local handle = io.popen('mktemp') local file = handle:read() handle:close() os.execute('echo "classifieds" >' .. file) os.execute('echo "REPLACE" >>' .. file) os.execute('vic ' .. file) os.execute('echo "." >>' .. file) io.write('=== Post? (Ctrl-d == NO) ') local answer = io.stdin:read('*l') if answer then print('=== Posting...') local command = 'nc nightfall.city 1915 <' .. file print('=== ' .. command) os.execute(command) else print() end io.write('=== Delete ' .. file .. ' ? (Ctrl-d == NO) ') answer = io.stdin:read('*l') if answer then os.execute('rm ' .. file) print('=== Deleted ' .. file) else print('\n=== Kept ' .. file) end else os.execute('elinks https://portal.mozz.us/nex/nightfall.city/classifieds/') end
I take the slip of paper containing the script, putting it in my pocket.
This sounds really interesting, thanks a lot, I didn't know about that part of the city. I can see some really nice uses out of it :D
