Visiting a random website is the normal use of HTTP. With SSH, there might be assumptions of connecting to a trusted server you have an account with and likely own. It's not very normal to ssh to a random server.
- teiferer 2mo ago> likely own I don't know how you are using ssh, but most ssh servers that I have connected to in my life, and still do, I don't own. Some of them I barely trust.
- QuantumNomad_ 2mo agoThe ones I connect to the most often from my personal laptop I don’t physically own but I do pay to rent them and I installed the OS on them myself.
- hdgvhicv 2mo agoThe main ones I don’t own are VPS servers from fairly large providers, or GitHub.
- jolmg 2mo agoWhen I said "own", I meant more in the sense of personally administering. It's like how you own a domain, but you're really renting it from a registrar. Rented hardware and VPSs count, as well as other servers/hosts you're responsible for.
- teiferer 2mo agoI got that, and I'm not saying that it doesn't apply to you, but it surely does not apply to everybody.
