I find it very funny that computer security is based on a principle of randomly generated secret.

Anyone could *potentially* generate the exact same secret when trying to brute force a system :flan_laugh:

It's unlikely in practice, but it's theoretically possible to brute force a system in one try

I have no guarantee that today, someone won't be generating an SSH key identical to mine :flan_shrug:

great, let’s all connect to every servers on the Internet with our own keys to check if that happened 😆

if you generate 3 ssh keys today, you have 3 more times a chance that one will work! 🤓

@Joel Carnat ♑ 🐘 @Solène :flan_hacker: what we need to do is pregenerate all the secrets and when you need one you just get the next one from the pile! Now they're all unique!
