Maybe that's on you though. I enjoyed it, though the discrepancy between the `*sshole` name and the `sshhole.com` domain made me twitch. How is anyone[0] obsessive enough to find this and write it up and yet not obsessive enough to make the amount of `h` consistent?

[0]: Be they human or LLM. Or an entity with any proportion of the two. I do not judge nor discriminate.

Look closely. The second h is behind the word and almost as dark as the background

Yes, but if you select the text and copy paste it it comes out with a single h, and also the <title> of the page has it with a single h and a double h.

  <title>*sshole · sshhole.com</title>
Strange and confusing.

I mean I understand that in “*sshole” it’s referencing the * that is central to the issue and putting it so it looks like a censored version of “asshole” while also referencing that it’s an ssh hole. And the domain is more simply ssh hole instead of sshole. Is a way maybe it does makes sense to do both. But it did seem at least at first strange to me that the domain is one thing and the name is a slightly different but almost same thing. Like there was a typo when registering the domain, or like the author changed their mind about the name slightly after registering the domain.
