Hacker News Reader

There's nothing of the spirit of the early hacker days in this repo, it's following GH's documentation and cutpasting some tunnelling instructions. I think it says more about the common misunderstanding of what hacking originally meant that this comparison was attempted at all

(FWIW, spoken as someone who spent many months wardialling by hand and poking around as the rest of the household slept during his school days)

I didn't cut and paste any tunneling instructions, or indeed any instructions at all.

which phreakers and pirates built the internet?

I'm pretty sure it was built by the military and universities.
