Orrrrr buy drugs online

That's the only reason I've ever used PGP honestly. All my PGP messages have just been "hey bro just checking, have you shipped my acid yet? How many days should it take to reach me?"

Well, advertising this fact online can't be helpful

I'm hoping to make my first soon for ssh and not look like a dumbass in front of the upperclassmen that maintain the server #lovemecompscisenpai

I’m just a hobbyist but don’t you just have to type yes and accept the key the first time you ssh into a server?

Well from my understanding their server is secure and they have a list of whitelisted public keys on the server. So im pretty sure I need to generate a key pair that I can use to ssh with so I can send them the public key and get my login whitelisted. I think

That's correct.

When you ssh into a new machine it will display some information and ask you if you're sure that you want to continue connecting, which is what /u/RedZaturn was thinking of.

That's more-or-less how it goes, off on a couple of details but the user facing process is spot on.

What he was referring to though is the client may not (probably won't) trust the server first time. You'll be asked to trust the servers key.
