mircea_popescu: aha. hey, i'm a man of simple tastes. 120 tdw boat , dirigible... i always content myself with the very inaccessible.
mircea_popescu: i shall handwave again at you.

trinque: asciilifeform: yes I know what that means.
trinque: all the networking gear I've seen didn't ship with any authorized_keys filled in
trinque: I am on a terribly laggy connection, but people there can be understood as "manufacturers"
