Setup new SSH keys
- My philosophy here is a key per client, rather than one single key used on all your clients. If you lose a device or it's compromised, it makes the revocation simpler because you just nuke one, and don't need to regenerate a new one everywhere.
- Distribute the pubkey everywhere it needs to go
Vim config
- Going to go for a minimal one here, just a ~/.vim/vimrc file, with basic syntax highlighting enabled. Don't think I'll do much dev here, so no need to clog it up with all the fancy syntax highlighting and whatnot
