If someone gave you a 1-800 number for free, what would you do with it? (sh.itjust.works)

If it's magically free, is it also magically permanent?

An audio-based SSH client, maybe. It could be used for good or evil, but at this point any open SSH connection is regularly targeted anyway. It'd be really neat to be able to do whatever computer task over an old landline or one of the remaining payphones.

Magically permanent if you want it to be/give some "Yes I'm still using it" feedback to the shadowy organization giving it to you. Otherwise it's active for one year.

Oh, good. I was asking because otherwise it's the sort of thing that they'd try to shut down the first time it was misused.
