You get that waking outside isn't safe at all right? Mugging is as old as civilization and don't get me started on cars.

Life is about trade offs, if someone really wants to spend the time to get access to my home dev box then I may have to spend a couple days on the phone with the bank and restoring from my offline backups. Big whoop.

Your home is likely insecure from my standards. Do you have a firearm at the ready? Do you know how to use it? Does your family have codewords to communicate without letting others on to your plan? How hard is it to kick in your doors? Not just the front door, but the bedrooms. Do you have a dog to wake you in the night? How stocked are you, can you last a month with no resupply? Do you even have a panic room?

I protect what matters beacuse you can't protect everything.

How are we still talking about this? SSH doesn't work the way you appear to think it does. Passwords don't solve the first-use problem; in fact, the first-use problem makes passwords much less safe than keys.

Yes and your cheap hollow core door doesn't solve the ending the life of everyone you care about problem. Why are you more concerned about passwords than that?

I know the risks well, I don't find them to be worth the hassle of avoiding them.
