        Whaaaaat. I had no idea this had disappeared… sad news!

        Thankfully it’s archived at least: archive.is/BYZ9l

      The part where people share asterisks when they talk about their passwords? Just seems like good security honestly 😂 Glad Lemmy is keeping up with this pinnacle of security best practices.

  The ~/.ssh/known_hosts file only contains public keys. I mean, maybe someone doesn’t want to hand out the list of hosts that they talk to, but exposing it doesn’t expose the private keys, which are what you really need to keep secret.

  Those are in ~/.ssh/id_rsa or the like, depending upon key type.
