SSH

“Really just worth learning SSH and Tmux instead of building your workflow against something that's trying to replace them”

“ssh is pretty bad in these scenarios”

“It's bad enough that ssh does this by default with all your keys.”

“I used to have a high-powered laptop, but just use a combination of ssh and NFS to my machine at home from a low powered laptop for travel these days. It works well.”

“ssh is simple, works on most servers I have access to”

“Simplest setup would be just plain ssh/mosh.”

“ssh has no PKI and is trivial to mitm during tofu”

“I love how simple SSH is with it's PK-Auth.”

“The best part of this is you can daisy chain tunnels”

“SSH with tmux or some editor with SSH server support should be your dev setup.”

“improvements like SSL/TLS, ssh, gzip, bzip2, lz4, Linux, etc. and so many other worthwhile innovations”

“I now only do ssh, I can start or resume on whatever device suits at the time.”

“all you need is an SSH connection that everyone already has”

“This is just an awfully designed feature, is all.”

“It is extremely useful for accessing web-interfaces on switches and firewalls and other devices on a remote network.”

“if you think your session is hanging and want to bail with ~., you have to press enter”

“The tricky bit is that much of the "secret menu" knowledge about ssh only lives in blog posts and random issue comments”

“I can use ssh as the transport and authentication layer over any internet connection”

“On ssh, every keystroke is a roundtrip”

“ssh has been working for me pretty seamlessly for like the 20 years I've been using it”

“SSH offers more than just encryption, but also data integrity”

“SSH is not at all risky if you disable password authentication”

“SSH was never really meant to be a high performance data transfer tool, and it shows.”

“High performance with ssh and wish? For sure not.”

“the SSH protocol is inherently very chatty”

“Did you know SSH has long-standing performance limitations due to its design that need patches to eliminate?”

“That makes a lot of sense for regular ssh sessions, where privacy is critical.”

“The fix seems kind of crazy though, adding so much traffic overhead to every ssh session.”

“plain old SSH means a metric bajillion computers have a client for your game built in”

“SSH is bottlenecking in its code at ~500 Mbps per core which is ludicrously slow”

“An ssh port forward will do this with aplomb.”

“For the remote connection I just use SSH and tmux”

“SSH is explicitly designed to allow unauthenticated users to do a whole lot of things”

“Thanks to tailscale and ssh I can vibecode on the go from my phone with this setup.”

“in terms of security it was a life-saver”

“not of any practical importance, unlike SSH, TLS, 7Zip encryption, etc.”

“or even simpler using ssh as socks proxy”

“It's not going to record accesses to EC2 instances via SSH because AWS service APIs aren't used.”

“you're better off mosh/ssh-ing into the server and using Emacs there”

“SSH also works over crappy connections. It even works reliably when the network went down for minutes.”
