User: dmytri Project: access via finger / nc / telnet printf 'dmytri\r\n' | nc -w 6 dmytri.a.pinggy.link 24450 Plan: dotplan is super cool and inspired me to revive thimbl, but there are some key difference, one being that dotplan has no concept of entries, so you just publish your plan and it pushed the newest one, which means you old posts are not longer avalable on finger, and it also means that dotplan needs to retain posts. another differnce between normal finger deamons and how thimbl will work is that normal finger assumes many user on one host that share a single finger server, thimlb will just be single user, assume home or personal server and generally recommend a tunnel rather that expose your server ip to the public internet. I think both approaches are valid, but thimbl is assuming one user per host, and that the host has no public ip.

User: dmytri Project: finger daemon on exe.dev VM dmytri Plan: The original thimbl used a json formtted .plan, but I guess toml would be more human readable, thimbl complient clients could get entries, where as dotplan and other plain finger clients could just get the most recent entry. I'm currently using pinggy to make tcp port public, but not really happy with the sevice, playit.gg is probaby better, but I guess I can just host my own chisel proxy instead of either. Down the road, there should be a public thimbl/finger relay that supports tunnels.
