There's a program called SSH to get to another CPU.
Tilde is the escape, it's doubled to send it through,
And "quit" is tilde-.

- likeclockwork 10y agoWhat does this reference?
- lake99 10y agoI am not sure, but it looks vaguely familiar. There is a text-based game called adventure game called Dunnet where you come across a CPU card, and do some stuff with it later on. As far as I remember, the game predates SSH, so the game either had Telnet or FTP. My memory fades.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoIt references "The TELNET Song" by Guy L. Steele (a.k.a The Great Quux). The original is about Telnet, and given the subject of discussion, the reference seemed a natural one to make.
- scubbojj 10y agoI don't - and in fact I finally got around to creating a HN account in order to ask you. Googling that just leads me back to this discussion. What's it from?
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoIt's parodying "the TELNET song," by Guy L. Steele.
