Has anyone else ever seen an SSH key/fingerprint thing string together an actual word? Or how about a curse word? XD - eviltoast

I had changed the SSH password on something so I had to dig through my known hosts file, and saw the word FUCK spelled out in there in all caps. I chuckled but am sure there’s an explanation

    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.
