I pushed my first crate this weekend. You can `cargo install tailpipe` on macOS and Linux (and maybe Windows, haven’t tested there yet) and get a locally-hostable SSH server that plays back asciinema recordings to clients.

`ssh -p4242 tailpipe.clee.sh` for a quick demo without installing anything. Requires any valid RSA or ED25519 key.

Thanks! I kind of stole the concept from the Takedown.com site that was set up to document how Kevin Mitnick was caught. Looks like the telnet servers are up again: telnet://kevin-on-demand.takedown.com:4001/ is an example of the original that made me think “it sure would be cool to be able to make custom recordings like that and play them back, but over SSH instead of telnet because who even has telnet installed anymore?”
