OK, so the tcp connection to clearsky.dev port 29438 succeeded, but right now nothing happens after you connect. Is this part of the puzzle?

Let me start you off! echo -e "\x00XR2K" | nc clearsky.dev 29438

It eventually printed

>send a single 0 byte followed by 'XR2K' for documentation.

But so far doing that hasn't led to anything :)

That's instructions. Basically, try again, but send a zero byte character with netcat.

Looks like HN is breaking my server a bit… it should print a helpful text when you connect

I want to play!

But..

localhost:~# echo -e "\x00XR2K" | nc clearsky.dev 29438 AXR2KPxr2000.leo.spacenet:send a single 0 byte followed by 'XR2K' for documentation

printf has the same problem. Is it me?

That should work fine! I had some db issues on my end. Should work now!
