Use SSH Certificates Instead. Stop hunting for the right jump host with SSH config matches Stop letting rsync wipe your destination directory by accident Stop your CPU frequency governor from lying to your applications Stop your shell history from leaking sensitive passwords Stop the kernel from dropping packets when your web server gets busy Fix broken dpkg databases without crying Keep your cron logs from getting lost in the void Pull out specific config blocks with awk range patterns Stop your scripts from hanging on stale file locks Keep your metadata from going AWOL when you restore backups Stop hunting for zombie threads that hide in plain sight Stop losing your shell aliases when you switch users Stop user sessions from holding onto dead locks Stop the OOM Killer from choosing your critical pod as its next victim Stop your server from bottlenecking on high concurrency Stop journald from dumping your binary logs into a black hole
