Maru OS – A complete desktop experience on a smartphone

I don't disagree, it's not exactly a uncommon practice. I think Raspberry pi for instance does this. Not defending it, totally stupid, just pointing out they aren't alone in this.

The fact passwords are on by default for sshd on most distributions is crazy.

Raspbian DID this. They now ship with SSH off by default.

They should have done this:

1. User tries to SSH to rpi over LAN from their laptop.

2. rpi SSH server sends back a request for a torrent of the 1999 smash hit "The Matrix"

3. laptop sends torrent "The Matrix" iso.

4. If the average latency dips below a threshold value, don't connect.

5. If it's done in five minutes, connect.

6. set rpi's SSH server to key-based authentication for strong keypair that was generated on user's laptop.

7. Done.

And suddenly there would be no escape from the matrix, no seriously may I recommend matrix.org for you?
