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: I use OpenSSH as a client and TinySSH as a server, it works okay.
