With ssh you can use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSHFP_record
to improve the security for first connection.

Or you can, if you care about the first connection, ask the sysadminabout the public key to expect, and check it yourself. As CômeChilliet explained, that's the *huge* difference between SSH andGemini; with SSH, you typically connect to only a few servers and youknow their admins (and they know you).
