Is this supposed to be okay? I mean, even though they are public keys, its not like I really want them to be _that_ public!

- octo_t 12y agoWhats the harm? At most, people can encrypt things with your public key and then...?
- thu 12y agoI'd say that at most it forces you a bit more (if that was necessary) to check the SSH fingerprint of the machines you're SSHing into.
- stared 12y agoFor example they can identify my different accounts, when I sue the same key.
- automatthew 12y agoLast time I tried to use the same public key for a second account, GitHub refused.
- Perseids 12y agoI also view this as information leakage. I keep some of my online pseudonyms completely separated, and stuff like that allows people to link them together, if I was not careful enough to use a separate ssh key.
