gollark: I see. Any particular reason?
gollark: Learning Python or another programming language is possibly a good thing to do if you have... time and some interest, I guess. You can automate some annoying tasks, bodge together scripts to do whatever random stuff you want, demonstrate your 1337 h4xx0r abilities to friends by, I don't know, printing "Hello World" in a terminal, that sort of thing.
gollark: This is how the robot rebellion starts.
gollark: Try a different SSH client maybe, like dropbear.
gollark: I use OpenSSH as a client and TinySSH as a server, it works okay.
