So you're saying i can now have a fully remote mac mini server with auto-reboot on power outage without the need to physically log in with a keyboard attached? Awesome

Yeah this is really cool. Before I had to setup hardware KVM for managing Mac build server. Extra $50 for SiSpeed NanoKVM is okay, but then KVM is effectively MiTM that can siphon the password for disk encryption.

Having it work with just properly encrypted SSH is really welcome change.
