To be fair, it's often hard to tell the difference between The Onion and most major news outlets over the past few years.

It's a case of "When you are so good at faking it that people believe you are legit"... Or would it be "Fake it till you make it"?
I speak fluent sarcasm and broken logic. | I would agree with you, but thæn we’d both be wrong.
SSH keys are definitely more secure, mainly because they don't travel over the network. Try using Ed25519 keys, and for extra security, change the default SSH port.

That's kind of sad. I've got 24 year old URLs that still work because I cared enough to redirect and rewrite.
Can't be bothered. I don't have any other linkbacks to my site either, so not worth the effort. I mostly use it as my own curated tutorial or documentation.

Assuming a really strong password is used, are keys really more secure than passwords for SSH login?
I have always used keys because it's more convenient but I was just wondering how keys are more secure as compared to an extremely strong password (say, 24 characters long comprising of multiple symbols, uppercase+lowercase alphabets and numbers all mixed up randomly)?
Less people are going to guess an ssh key because they're long than a random computer plus an ssh key comes from the system you used to generate them

Haha!
Anyhow, of course key + password + port knocking is the best.
I just use root/toor in case I forget. I'm not an idiot.
I am guessing your email password is "password" and your lowendspirit password is "123456" (like me)
My password is "wrong," so if I don't remember it, it tells me: the password is wrong

For anyone interested, this is how you setup a ssh TOTP using google authenticator on ubuntu 22.04: https://somik.org/ubuntu-22-04-ssh-totp/
This only applies all ssh connections to the server using the default
/etc/ssh/sshd_configconfiguration file.SSH keys are definitely more secure, mainly because they don't travel over the network. Try using Ed25519 keys, and for extra security, change the default SSH port.

Yes, thanks. The url changed when I stopped using WordPress and switched to static sites.
Because it was two years ago. Stahp.
