I'm going to miss you Ryan! Read your stuff every day and it's hard to imagine Engadget without you. I really love your style of blogging and hope you go on to do [more] great things!
"Browsing Engadget" is a totally acceptable answer.
love logitech anything.
Logitech headphones are sweet.
See my niggas don't dance,
See we just pull up the pants and,
Do the Roc-a-way.

Now lean back, lean back, lean back, lean back.
Yeah portscan on it didn't help much, and if he was putting it out there to be hacked he probably used a really strong password. Probably had blowfish for SSH encryption which is stupid hard to crack, if he were smart he would have a max login attempt of like 3 per IP and / or 3 per minute, so brute forcing is out, if he had all known exploits patched on it then what else can you do? For a no knowledge attack it would be really, really, really hard to do. I won't go so far as to say it's impossible, but if configured properly it might as well be.

BTW, OpenBSD is a lot more secure in general than linux. And don't go telling me "OMG YOU CAN MAKE LINUX JUST AS SAFE" because by defualt, it is not as paranoid in security as a BSD, esp. OpenBSD.

But most of us don't really have much on our servers that it's worth someone spending hours trying to crack them. If they got my box, they could get a few finished torrents, some mp3s, and some misc. backup tars.

Still, my auth.log shows that there are tons of retards that run dictionary attacks through ssh anyways. I could just change the default port so it wouldn't get scanned, but they're not getting in anyway and even if they do I don't really care, so security isn't that huge of a concern for me. All my important stuff is in various locations that are not on a computer.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
