kasdeyaI think about this every time I SSH
Chris Saunders@kasdeya I love this and now every time I connect to a remote host it’ll be in my mind too
Simon Brooke@kasdeya commanding daemons at a distance by conjuring them in arcane language...
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Not sure it's the same thing but I was working to find the faulty component in my EV charger and when I got it free I exclaimed "You have a name! Can you be summoned?" and the replacement arrived 2 days later

@kasdeya _that's_ what SSH is used for? I've been using astral projection this whole time not realizing there was a simpler way 😭
Maronno Winchester 
@kasdeya So true.

Andrew "Ace" Arsenault@kasdeya SSH in a nutshell. : }
motodrone77@kasdeya I might of read my textbooks, if they were this interesting.
Michael Toulouse@kasdeya (though in that image it looks a little more like telnet...) @benjedwards
Eric@kasdeya that is nightmare fuel
Julio Jimenez@kasdeya SSH is analogous to something we commonly do, like astral projection.
Svante@kasdeya … but real.
RealGene ☣️@kasdeya

Yeah, the moment I have to do work, in my astral projections, ... Kill Me.
In all of the universes.

Will Dimmit@kasdeya What book is that from?
Keith Thomas@kasdeya What would be the analog for OpenSSL? ;)
Porkchopexpress@kasdeya You just can't unsee this can you
your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦even more magical than astral projection @kasdeya when you set up reciprocal public keys across all of your homelab computers and then make bash aliases to summon them with just their host name. that makes me tingly every damn time.
@infosec_jcp 🐈🃏 done differently
pizzapal@kasdeya me too
Steve has ☕️ for brains@kasdeya @bitprophet `alias astral=“ssh”`

@kasdeya where is this image from?
brandizzi@kasdeya that's totally in line with how I felt the first time I SSH'ed somewhere. Looked like magic! (It is still magical, in a sense, we just get desensitized...)
mytwobits01@kasdeya
Do you know what time period this is from?

Niclas HedhmanThen imagine that this is over a Remote SSH tunnel, if you know what that is.
TIP;
If you use KDE, you can manually enter "fish://" protocol in the Dolphin file browser to access remote systems. And probably in Kate (editor) and other KDE applications and have the remote files as if they were local.

Terrence the Fox@kasdeya Why I have memories of this from a PC Anywhere book back in the day ....
Adnan@kasdeya It's so perfect. I need another version of this but for port forwarding.
Henryk Plötz@kasdeya When I was a young kid in the GDR I had a book about technology. It showed off all the great technological marvels that socialism was capable of, like landing on the moon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunokhod_programme).
The picture that most stuck with me though was very much like this one, and was supposed to explain radio waves: A farmer was shown, operating a horse drawn plough, from his home, by way of a pair of hundred meter long reins (spanning across the whole width of the book).
bona fide busta@henryk when we have democratic control of ICANN instead of a bunch of domain-squatting rentiers, we will have seized the reins of transmission

Cale Buns@kasdeya I will now also always think about this, but with bunny ears on the person
Ben Mooney@kasdeya This raises a lot of questions about using Ansible.
Marcos Lobo 💙💛@kasdeya nice image representation
Dieu@kasdeya reminds of how I recently read "The Dispossessed" and so found out about this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansible
@kasdeya we have always been wizards. According to the Du Cange glossarium, a mathematician is an astrologer, people who tried to predict the future and wizards summoning demons 😃 😃 http://ducange.enc.sorbonne.fr/MATHEMATICUS

Dane Peterson@kasdeya I absolutely love that image. I feel like it's been circulating for forever at this point, but it's never not delightful.
Gremlins, Inc. (it/its) ♿ 🖕@kasdeya wait what if i was already imagining it like that on my own 😳
Steve Purcell@kasdeya Great that they made it relatable to the common person

Maximilian Overdraft, Esq.@kasdeya I had to do that for two years during lockdown. But I didn't feel projected. Gaslit, yes, but not projected.

@kasdeya For real, but now I need a graphic about my ssh tunnels that I use to pivot around networks.
