Haha I started trying to format the text so that it was technically a valid ed25519 key, then it became too much work for a silly joke so I settled for filtering/replacing all the invalid chars and slapping the == padding at the end. Needs more AAAAAA strings to really sell it, I think, but I'm glad it turned out well enough to merit a second glance lol.
Edit: I swapped all instances of fuck|fucker|fucking with As, I think it's an improvement.
That's not a valid key. OpenSSH keys are not arbitrary bytes, they contain at least the type of the certificate used and a hostname.
The fact that this is not a valid key does not mean you need to reverse engineer public keys. By design you can just get a public key with a private one.

I insert swears into all my ssh keys so they get censored out by profanity filters. Good luck hacking me now, squares 😎🏍️🛹

Is it bad that this bothers me purely because the public key can be derived from the private key, so providing both is unnecessary?

I don't geht it. Can you explain it with your key as an example?

Other than size of the keys there's nothing wrong with it. Still plenty secure (from classical attacks)

Should be private ssh key and public ip address. public key can be derived if necessary and it does you no good to have a key to an unknown door
thevoidzero@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 8d
If you only know private key and not public key then isn't it the same as only knowing public key? I thought those were interchangeable

You can derive the public key from the private key

I normally just skip keygen
it's such a hassle
besides, it means I can connect from anywhere
no one checks the ssh port on prod anyway
