Notes
  1. All English episode titles taken from Crunchyroll.
gollark: You can make a configuration file with the IP and key file in it too so you can just do `ssh mything`.
gollark: The advantage is that a key cannot practically be bruteforced unlike a password.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Also use SSH key authentication.
gollark: You write code (binary comes up rarely) but it's mostly problem solving. Breaking up problems into things the computer can actually run.
