Post #2822798

@dwenius@toot.cat @anticomposite@wikis.world @EdG@mastodon.social avian carriers are all very well, but I think 418 I'm A Teapot is more iconic. I proposed a 1st April RFC myself once, but it wasn't accepted. At the time SSH-2 was still considering a "none" cipher, for countries outlawing encryption: you wouldn't encrypt, but would still MAC, so the spooks could read but not hijack your session. I proposed adding the "rot13" cipher instead, to protect network-monitoring sysadmins from movie spoilers and distractingly juicy gossip.
