I'm confused and have a couple questions:
1. Why would I want someone to ssh into my machine -- at least with the frequency that a service to help me do it is valuable?
2. How is this easier/better than saying 'hey bro whats your ssh pub id? -- eh.. do `cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`
Over all this seems like a tool that only super technical people would ever use, and for those people adding a key to authorized keys is trivial.
- hughes 10y agoYeah, "just share the Teleconsole ID" seems like an identical step to "just share the public key".
- jdc0589 10y ago"just share the public key" doesn't solve firewall, nat, etc network issues that might be a barrier. If you went that route, you'd likely want something like ngrok too.
- bisby 10y agoThe only use case I can think of would be helping family with their linux install... and if this is already installed on their machines, it was probably put there by me... just as easy for me to put my ssh pubkeys on there too.
