I think the rest of my statement backed that up pretty well. I'm not clear though - I'm to expect hackernews has rules which demand I weasel-word my criticisms? That seems ridiculous.

The Hacker News community expects civil and substantive comments, as others have already pointed out. Reading this as demanding weasel words is disingenuous.

Well then, clearly the definition of "civil" varies from person to person.

You must be kidding me. My "argument " is a question . My "hypotetical arguments" consist of me asking if there is some thing stopping people from scp'ing things to my computer then running them . You talk like phishing and privilege escalation weren't things that exist. Have you ever managed any public-facing service of any importance?

Actually, those types of questions are called leading questions . Making a point based on a hypothetical can not be logically used to make a factual point without it being a bias, even if you phrase it as an "unknown", or question. Your last comment here shows your tendency to blame and use biases for making arguments, which is unfortunate given you appear to be asserting authority on matters of "public facing" serve…

What a bad troll. Try something more subtle next time.

Other than using [tmate](https://tmate.io/), I use some aliases:

github-pair (https://github.com/chilicuil/shundle-plugins/blob/master/ali...)

github-unpair (https://github.com/chilicuil/shundle-plugins/blob/master/ali...)

Those add / remove keys from github to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Neat. I use the following incantation when authorizing folks to ssh into my servers via github public keys: curl https://github.com/[github name].keys >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [github name] here should be replaced with github username of your friend or colleague. Really handy because I can just authorize them without a human request/response loop and manual key moving. Simple and no external tools needed. Normal cav…

or use other https://api.github.com/users/[github username]/keys
