A list of fun destinations for telnet

I was wondering why the Starwars one is not at the top of the list. Then I saw it no longer exists :-(

The Star Wars ASCII animation was how I learned telnet existed. Felt like discovering a secret passage in the internet.

There's something pure about text-based interfaces. No loading spinners, no JavaScript frameworks, no cookie banners. Just text.

for years I had this in my .muttrc. it's been commented out since it stopped working...

#set signature="cat ~/.signature && telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl 666 | tail -n3|"

Very cool, some nice nostalgia looking through that list!

Missed a trick not being able to “telnet telnet.org” though. :-)

		Anyone knows what happened with it? Maybe the creator would like to pass the torch?

Related to the last Telnet CVE? Why talking about telnet now otherwise?
