I’ll be impressed if you tell me what operating system I’m using.

FWIW this is what I did:
$ ssh-keygen -f fake_ssh_key(press Enter twice for no passphrase)
and then:
$ cat fake_ssh_keyWhich I then just copy-pasted from the terminal. Surely this can’t reveal anything about my other private keys, right?
To save anyone the trouble, here’s a key I’ve generated just now:
-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY----- b3BlbnNzaC1rZXktdjEAAAAABG5vbmUAAAAEbm9uZQAAAAAAAAABAAAAMwAAAAtzc2gtZW QyNTUxOQAAACAqTGrNcWWZrKjDzAgG1KaCYAOOAoqSSQvvWVgUx7PdMgAAAJgzuRsTM7kb EwAAAAtzc2gtZWQyNTUxOQAAACAqTGrNcWWZrKjDzAgG1KaCYAOOAoqSSQvvWVgUx7PdMg AAAEC8jODzrMngnvJlMwtlhqwlI6qS42WlzSDADbEYaCsRzCpMas1xZZmsqMPMCAbUpoJg A44CipJJC+9ZWBTHs90yAAAAEXUwX2E0MzhAbG9jYWxob3N0AQIDBA== -----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----(and if I did it wrong enough, well, you can hack me but please let me know how I fucked up)
Change any random character in there to see how the website reacts to a unique key. I changed an O to an o and it accepted it.

This was fun!
Edit: people, upvote the OP, not me
Once at a job when I was supposed to make a website work (and I’ll stress, I am not a graphic designer and wasn’t hired as one!) I made the layout as nice as I could, but I insisted on only using named CSS colors because I just do. not. care. about color theory. By which I mean, I don’t want to waste time and do a crappy job at it when someone else could do it much better and properly and faster. So the named colors are meant as an obvious placeholder for a more creative person to replace with something real later.
When my boss gave me feedback he just said that it’s ugly. I started saying “yeah, the colors are placeholders, we can change that easily. I’ll fiddle it with it I’ll stick with named colors” (above explanation was to follow).
Before I even got to the named colors bit, he interrupted me and said “don’t use named colors ever”.
I guess maybe I was hired as a graphic designer? News to me!
(I’m making him sound awful but he was actually a really good boss. This interaction is not representative of our usual dynamics. I’m not employed by him anymore but we are on good terms.)
