Even better: Use SSLH[1], so you can still have an HTTPS server, but also connect to ssh on port 443. Set it up myself and my boss still doesn't know.. :)

This. The parent's idea is similar to storing the user's password forever in memory for sudo. As any ol' neckbeard could tell you, that's a Bad Thing.

Ask HN: Minimizing RAM usage: Dropbear vs OpenSSH?

Posted by evaryont on Wednesday July 21, 2010 @09:05PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I've been using OpenSSH for years now, but in looking at ways to reduce memory usage (I keep hitting 256MB on a 256MB slice) on my VPS, I saw a post glorifying dropbear, as compared to openssh. He didn't find anything he didn't do normally with openssh that dropbear couldn't do, which inclines mean to use dropbear. I haven't found a complete feature list for dropbear, one that I could compare...

My initial thought was that this was going to talk about default settings, like for computer applications.

I was disappointed. (And I don't like the situation the markets are in now anyways, but this article and plenty others have already voiced all I can think of.)

Re:Twitter Updates, the 18th Century Edition on Tuesday April 13, 2010 @09:19PM (#1263863)

This reminds of an earlier article, another look at a historical context for twitter. Apparently, there were lots of postcards sent back and forth between family members, most of which weren't much different those those sampled here.

If I remember the article correctly, it was relatively recent, perhaps in the 19th or early 20th century?

Isn't this the same reason why optical illusions work? The brain finds patterns and holds on to them.
