While it's good to reuse older devices whenever possible, it really only makes sense when those devices are able to run a modern operating system for security reasons. For example, running a modern Linux distro on an older laptop extends its useful life, but getting an ancient BlackBerry OS to ssh into something across a legacy network connection just doesn't make sense to me.
- tomxor 6y agoI'm not seeing the problem with the legacy network, but there is a potential security issue with needing DSA and 3DES for SSH - However others below have mentioned it's probably not practical to implement attacks against those on this device due to throughput limitations. ... in which case maybe it's all good?
