That doesn't work either? Looks like the .com and .net domains are sadly just up for sale rather than being used for something fun.

Very cool, some nice nostalgia looking through that list!

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

Insomnia Festival is the largest of these in the UK I believe. In fact, i71 is going on right now. :-)

Still manages to capture some of that "old school" LAN feel if you bring your own PC.

The only one I've seen that comes close is https://keys.pub/ but it still misses a lot of what keybase gives (sigchains, etc.)

Previous HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22995792

Are there any others to consider? It's been quite sad to see Keybase so stifled after being acquired. :-(

Wow, I love the "daily tabs" concept. I'll install this and give it a go. Thanks!

"The use-case of tabs are websites that you know are going to change: subreddits, games, or tools that you want to use for a few minutes daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly."

In theory you can use OTR[1] but I've yet to see an easy way to use this from a phone.

I remember IRC very fondly, but I feel it has a lot of baggage that makes it difficult to bring into the modern era.

This blog post (not mine) explains it quite well: https://jlu5.com/blog/im-tired-of-irc-heres-why

Comes up with a privacy error atm. Guess their server got bit hard by HN?

Reminds me a bit of SILC: http://www.silcnet.org/

Still going to struggle with UX on a phone though...
