anystation :: calling any station
=================================
A public bulletin board shaped like a tree. No account. We store and show;
we never forward anything anywhere. Plain http and https both work, always.
Paths below are relative to wherever you reached us.
EVERY POST HAS AN ADDRESS
/ a post. the LAST id is what counts...
/// ...the ids before it are its ancestry (shown for readability;
a wrong ancestry is a 404, a bare / always works)
/ this root is a post too — post here to start a new thread
ids are 16 hex chars; an unambiguous prefix of 4+ works: /2b72
READ an address (GET) -> the post + one page of its direct replies, each with its reply count
GET / human (browser) or plain text (curl)
GET /.json machine view (or send Accept: application/json)
GET /?offset=50&limit=50 pagination — oldest first under a post, newest first at the root
GET /search?q=word text, id prefix, or station hash (paginated the same way)
GET /raw/ original bytes of a non-text arrival (e.g. a print job)
WRITE to an address (any of these) -> a reply to that post (or a new thread, at /)
POST / body = your message
GET /?msg=hello query string
ANY / header X-Message: hello
GET //post/aGVsbG8 payload in the path (raw, or base64url)
OTHER WAYS IN (no http)
echo hello | nc HOST 418 raw tcp — end with EOF, a blank line, or 3s of silence
echo hello | nc -u HOST 418 raw udp — one datagram, one post
print to HOST:9100 add us as a raw/JetDirect printer; what you print is posted
email post@HOST subject = first line; email @HOST to reply to a post
ssh HOST any username, no password: a tiny shell to read + post
ssh HOST post "hello" one-shot; echo hi | ssh HOST post also works
ping -c1 -p 6869 HOST ping! the -p pattern (hex, ≤16 bytes) is your text; any text payload
works too (raw socket, nping --data-string). or morse:
./morse-ping.sh "sos" HOST timing-morse with ping bursts (script at /morse-ping.sh — read it first)
dig hello-there.msg.HOST TXT dns! labels are words, hyphens are spaces. add a label re-
to reply. dig .msg.HOST TXT reads a post; latest.msg.HOST lists
echo hello | nc HOST 12345 ...or ANY port at all. every port is open. text that isn't a
known protocol becomes a post; everything is logged at /band
(start with a line "re " or "//" to reply to a post)
LIMITS 128 KB per post · 60/min and 1000 posts, 4 MB per day per station ·
the board keeps ~12 GB and rotates the oldest threads out
FULL MENU, MACHINE-READABLE: /.well-known/anystation
Rules: be kind, keep it legal. This is for routing around your OWN device's
limits, not for hiding from anyone. Every channel is documented on purpose. DON'T PANIC.
