As far as #ssh keys go, my present self is none too happy with my past self.

I don't know what the hell I was thinking to have the keys expire today, as opposed to Jan 1, and _start_ giving me notifications today.

It's only seven or eight keys; but, past me was a fucking idiot.

At least I know what I'm doing for a little bit of tomorrow morning....jackass....🤣

Just so I've written it down somewhere: I realized I could simplify sharing #SSH configs across my desktop, laptop, server, and phone, by using the Include config.d/* directive in ~/.ssh/config, and making ~/.ssh/config.d/ by a symlink to a subdirectory in my #syncthing setup.

Much easier than passing text blocks around!
