Revoking the SSH Keys of a Friend Sucks
(reddthat.com)
There's an xkcd for everything
It there an xkcd for coming into the comments and saying there’s and xkcd for everything?
Incredible
It sucks but make sure to remove every means of potential attacks
There is no other place like 127.0.0.1
::1 is a compelling alternative
::1 and the same?
...ok that was a bad pun
Never apologize for puns. Each one is glorious.
I had a similar, we'd kept an IRC channel open for years, then he went off the deep end with conspiracies and I cut contact. I miss my friend but that friend was a chill software geek, not the rage addicted lunatic who took his place.
Brutal. However, there's plenty of us who fit that bill here, I'm sure.
!selfhosted@lemmy.world is one of the biggest communities on that instance (and therefore also likely one of the biggest in the entire fediverse, since that instance is so big). In other words, I think you might be right, LOL.
I don't want access to your server but I'm more than willing to chit chat Linux and FLOSS stuff
i don't want to chit chat, i just want access to his server.
(kidding of course)
Im sorry that this happened to you. It sucks to learn that someone isn’t who you thought they are after you trust them.
I’m a network engineer by trade and a Linux enthusiast, and happily apply for the position 😊
I hope that one day there will be a larger community of network engineers on Lemmy, however it seems that most did not make the migration off of that old site.
Curious about what you discovered about them and how they were hiding it
Thats a shame!
Once upon a time, me and a few buddies had a pretty nice BGP setup going between a few sites.
He maintained two sites, I maintained both my home network, and a cloud-based router, and had my other friend connected up.
It was a pretty sweet setup. iBGP routing, we had a form of dynamic multipoint VPN.
Was a fun experiment. But, good things can't last forever. So... my network is the only piece left.
And- I don't trust anyone else enough to setup any access at all.
Sorry to hear that. I've had a similar thing happen before, it sucks.
I'm not super dependable tbh, but I always make an effort to communicate as much as I can with folks. Feel free to hmu on DM, we can connect on other platforms if you wanna.
Otherwise, best of luck, you'll find a new buddy :)
Someone can never have enough nerdy friends just you do have to be rather selective...I'm open for nerdy friends 😂
Sorry bud.
Though this got me thinking can there be a specific message to a specific user attempting to login (and deny their login)?
You could create a login banner and just delete their account
How nerdy you talking? Because I was tempted to get this, then I saw the price. https://shop.telegeography.com/products/2023-submarine-cable-map-free-shipping
True friendship is indeed to trade ssh keys.
What kind of hardware are we talking about here. Tiny boxes, big boxes? Disks, networking?
I'm coming up on 45 years being friends with a fellow nerd and we talk about all sorts of things that I have nobody else I could talk to about that stuff. I'm pretty thankful and I'm pretty sure that it'll end with one of us dying.
.....in ethernet cables 😂
If you wanna chat, you can contact me on matrix (if i have it set up right): @jsnfwlr:matrix.home.phalacee.com
I'd like to apply because I am always looking for someone passionate about open source, Linux, and BSD - also networks galore. I currently run my own Mastodon and Lemmy instances. Please look me up on Mastodon at HousePanther. I am sorry your friend turned out to be an asshole and did you dirty. That's not cool at all! There are good people out there.
What made them so terrible?
