- npodbielski 9mo agoCan you SSH into broken grub? Can you change BIOS settings? Also giving access like that outside your home network is not a good idea. So security issues does not matter that much.
- denkmoon 9mo agoI didn't say not to use IPMI, I said it's not a security improvement over SSH. For exactly the reason you point out, giving access outside your home. Nothing wrong with exposing SSH provided you take it seriously and know what you're doing. Nobody in their right mind would ever put IPMI on anything but a protected isolated network.
