You're right, we probably shouldn't use SSH to microwave our food.
But a lot of things where we use HTTP today, we could be using SSH if we had better library support. Some more ideas towards the end of the post.
- blfr 12y agoSomeone has to be running NetBSD on their microwave owen. I remember a toaster story. http://www.embeddedarm.com/software/arm-netbsd-toaster.php http://www.embeddedarm.com/software/arm-netbsd-toaster.php
- marcosdumay 12y ago> we could be using SSH if we had better library support It's the firewall rules, not library availability.
- Shish2k 12y agoTunnel SSH over HTTP, best (worst) of both worlds :) (I have tried this; it is both useful and terrible)
- bashinator 12y agoOr you could just run `sshd` on port 443.
- dec0dedab0de 12y agoBut this would fail on many proxies, and any firewall that was aware of the protocol.
- scrollaway 12y agoIndeed. And more generally, using some of the SSH concepts on the web such as public key authentication.
