Cool cool, thanks. Yeah so I was thinking that blake3 would be a good fit as it's faster (not that it really matters) and safer (again, not that it matters), and it also supports variable key sizes so it'd be easy enough to drop it in.
Given that there's really no major performance/security benefit it's totally fine to use md5 imo, I shouldn't have even mentioned it in retrospect lol I just see "md5" and immediately my brain is like "hmmm".
Collision chance is still pretty low, my guess is that in practice unless you're doing something automated that performs hundreds of SSH's a day you won't run into it (30 seconds of "collision time" every 2-4 hours, based on my math).
Anyway, yeah, super into this.
