As a test I used their Shelley coding agent to vibe-code a multiplayer Queen of spade game : https://extra-crimson.exe.xyz/

I build a website using this interesting product, for anyone who want to checkout what it could be built

Does anyone know e.g. a small systemd-nspawn oneliner to SSH in securely?

There's nothing dangerous about SSHing into an untrusted server unless you're using the same keys for everything.

Remote resources only get your public key. It’s meant to be shared! Hence the word “public.”

The threat is having a private key stolen, in which case, having multiple keys can mitigate the amount of damage a threat actor can do. However, to steal your private key would involve a successful attack against your client, not against any server you might have given the public key to.

There is also the threat of the server sending a data sequence that exploits a vulnerability in your terminal. It has happened before, but it’s rare.

otterley 12/28/2025||

Always encrypt your SSH private key! It shouldn’t be so easily stolen.

Definitely going to give this a try. One thing I'm curious about--where are the servers? And if I want to choose hosting geographically close to me, how do I do that?

I'm not a fan of making ssh the primary access mechanism for a service. Just make a simple Web panel for managing VMs, and actually explain on the service on the Web page.

Y_Y 12/27/2025|

I find ssh faster and easier. Anyway it's a good differentiator, there are plenty of web panels already.

Quite cool!

I'd love an easy way to connect to and run an existing GitHub/GitLab repo in a VM and spin it up, and iterate on that and be able to open PRs etc from there.

icedrift 12/27/2025||

Super cool. I can't justify investing time in it at the planned pricing but I'll keep an eye on it if they can hack together a more competitive VPS option.

Seems like a great tool but login not working for me, am I doing something wrong?

``` ssh exe.dev Please complete registration by running: ssh exe.dev Connection to exe.dev closed. ```

This is cool! Check out https://zo.computer – a similar concept, with an IDE-like web UI

This is awesome. I just maxxed out my tokens in Shelley, but was able to vibe code this Rails app that lets anyone register an aircraft and then fly it in a synchronized world interfaced through a Garmin G1000 knock off. Sign up (feel free to use a fake email address) and set up a flight now and let's see how many aircraft we can get going! If this is a cool idea let me know and I'll probably end up paying to continue developing this :)
