Nigel and ssh

I know enough to know what I don’t know, but sometimes what I don’t know includes me not knowing the words that describe what I don’t know, at least in enough detail to find the knows I don’t know.

Basically, for the last three days I’ve been half-ass, as opportune, looking at being able to ssh into the pi, so I can work on it as untethered as possible. The problem being that allowing remote logins to your average “thing” is how you end up being another bot farm. Do I obviously need to lock it down as much as reasonable. There’s lots of good tutorials, but their written for people that probably know what their doing. I at least some that’s the case. After looking a a lot of tutorials, man pages, and error messages, I finally saw that I need to be the same user on both systems.

I should write my own tutorial.
