The question wasn't "how to ssh into a server", it was "how did you figure out what it it from looking at the website"


Because it literally tells you what to do


"exe.dev is a subscription service that gives you virtual machines, with persistent disks, quickly and without fuss."

scroll down and hit the "about" link. I do agree though the landing page could be more resourceful.

I'm not going to SSH to a random server.


That's my point, the home/landing page tells you nothing other than "try to ssh into this van"


All a malicious website has to do to be convincing is to have a more conventional landing page then?

The disk and sudo mentioned are good enough clues, then you have the about.


Where did I say that, that wasn't a topic I just commented on the *entirety* of the content on the landing page.

> The disk and sudo mentioned are good enough clues

I mean, you do you and let's agree to disagree about a good landing page UX.


tbh maybe this service doesn't want you as a customer if you can't figure this out. it seems like you'd be an above-average support burden


Are you honestly suggesting that startups should be picky about taking on customers?

That’s probably the oddest thing to read on a tech VC forum.

The lading page was garbage. It’s forgivable because designing goods landing pages is hard. But inventing wacky ideas about why a bad landing page might have some hidden genius, isnt constructive feedback


Why are you giving in to such a troll/AI/low effort comment. If the page was some genius implication and I were too stupid to get it then his comment had a good point. The page has a random ssh command and this dude thinks it's genius.


You made me lol


> I'm not going to SSH to a random server.

Opening a random website likely exposes you to more risk.


Likely? Definitely.


How to ssh into a server isn’t a question, it’s a command.


Being pedantic, I meant statement not command.
