Random tricks picked up this week:
ssh-copy-id for Windows
Windows doesn't really have this feature, but the following code does the equivalent
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
SET REMOTEHOST=your-user-name-on-host@host-fqdn-or-ip-goes-here
scp %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\id_rsa.pub %REMOTEHOST%:~/tmp.pub
ssh %REMOTEHOST% "mkdir -p ~/.ssh && chmod 700 ~/.ssh && cat ~/tmp.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && rm -f ~/tmp.pub"
Change (increase) FreeBSD console resolution
I connect my FBSD box to a 16:9 monitor; no GUI/ X-Windows crap. The stock console screen looks pretty off. Found some tips here to make it look pretty reasonable (at least as good as some Linux boxes). Here's my simple steps:
# in /boot/loader.conf
kern.vty=sc
# check what modes your card/ monitor supports (on CLI)
vidcontrol -i mode
# in /etc/rc.conf
# MODE_383 maps to 1920x1080x32
vidcontrol MODE_383
