Your public key is no longer in my ~/.ssh/authorized_keys :(
That's a serious breakup, can't say I've even had anyone that close. Finding the right friends is like finding the right distro and it hurts when someone shows you an ugly part of them (ahem Red Hat).
I had a similar, we'd kept an IRC channel open for years, then he went off the deep end with conspiracies and I cut contact. I miss my friend but that friend was a chill software geek, not the rage addicted lunatic who took his place.
It sucks but make sure to remove every means of potential attacks
There is no other place like 127.0.0.1
Brutal. However, there's plenty of us who fit that bill here, I'm sure.
How nerdy you talking? Because I was tempted to get this, then I saw the price. https://shop.telegeography.com/products/2023-submarine-cable-map-free-shipping
True friendship is indeed to trade ssh keys.
What kind of hardware are we talking about here. Tiny boxes, big boxes? Disks, networking?
Curious about what you discovered about them and how they were hiding it
Someone can never have enough nerdy friends just you do have to be rather selective...I'm open for nerdy friends 😂
Im sorry that this happened to you. It sucks to learn that someone isn’t who you thought they are after you trust them.
I’m a network engineer by trade and a Linux enthusiast, and happily apply for the position 😊
I hope that one day there will be a larger community of network engineers on Lemmy, however it seems that most did not make the migration off of that old site.
Sorry to hear that. I've had a similar thing happen before, it sucks.
I'm not super dependable tbh, but I always make an effort to communicate as much as I can with folks. Feel free to hmu on DM, we can connect on other platforms if you wanna.
Otherwise, best of luck, you'll find a new buddy :)
What made them so terrible?
If you wanna chat, you can contact me on matrix (if i have it set up right): @jsnfwlr:matrix.home.phalacee.com
Thats a shame!
Once upon a time, me and a few buddies had a pretty nice BGP setup going between a few sites.
He maintained two sites, I maintained both my home network, and a cloud-based router, and had my other friend connected up.
It was a pretty sweet setup. iBGP routing, we had a form of dynamic multipoint VPN.
Was a fun experiment. But, good things can't last forever. So... my network is the only piece left.
And- I don't trust anyone else enough to setup any access at all.
I'm coming up on 45 years being friends with a fellow nerd and we talk about all sorts of things that I have nobody else I could talk to about that stuff. I'm pretty thankful and I'm pretty sure that it'll end with one of us dying.
I don't want access to your server but I'm more than willing to chit chat Linux and FLOSS stuff
