petermolnar https://blog.haschek.at/2023/ssh-based-comment-system.html - that's basically the lovechild of a bbs and a website
#
[Jo] Oh nice, i also saw someone doing something like this on gemini a while back
#
sknebel cue debate if its appropriate to look up the users key on github and automatically show their name/avatar ;)
#
sknebel that's something that surprises quite a few people with these "just SSH in" hacks
#
sknebel that you can do that
#
sknebel hm, wasnt there an example of a handwritten (as in picture of handwriting, not "I wrote the HTML in notepad") website a while ago? That should have a comment-fax option :D
#
tyil sknebel: I argue it wouldn't be, but asking to look up that info through github would be ok

#
[tantek] sknebel, good q. is there a library that retrieve such profile information given an SSH public key?
#
[schmarty] if you have access to the _private_ key (or SSH agent) you could spawn an SSH connection to `mailto:git@github.com` - on a successful connect github replies with a success message containing the github username associated with the key.
#
[tantek] wait, isn't it a *bad* thing for someone else to have access to your private key for GitHub? because then they can pretend to be you on GitHub right?
