Sysadmins, hackers, etc. Ever tried ”swipe typing coupled with autocorrect” in an SSH session?
- tifadg1 6y agoI just wonder how practical it really is to do any kind of meaningful sysadmin work on a phone. Yeah you can ssh and type long commands better, but if you're in an enterprise setting you have to vpn in, then connect to a jump server so you have ssh aliases and pki certs. Or have them ready on your phone, but how do you keep it up to date? What about auxiliary programs that are needed to make better decisions once ssh is established (monitoring)?.. I'm saying maybe it's legit, maybe I'm just oldfashioned.
- dvdkon 6y agoDefinitely not "true enterprise", but I have fixed server issues with my phone on a half-hour train ride. Back then I just used SSH password auth to connect to a server, so no security measures stopped me. Nowadays I'd probably wake up my home desktop and SSH into that and go from there.
- oblio 6y agoYeah, but then I hope their OS is super optimized and runs like a demon on the Snapdragon 662. Most likely, if it's Android, at some point it will lag even while typing using that physical keyboard.
- vimacs2 6y agoIt's running Lineage OS which is pretty close to stock Android sans a lot of the invasive Google telemetry so it will probably run smoother than you would expect given the specs.
