Better internet isn't always available. A VPN on the ssh port isn't going to do you much good if someone sharing your IP address is doing brute force attempts against the ssh port on every IP address and your system uses that as a

What happens when your home VPN is inaccessible from your crappy network connection? There are plenty of badly administered networks that block arbitrary VPN/UDP traffic but not ssh. Common case is the admin starts with default deny an

The better answer is to just ignore dull password guessing attempts which will never get in because you're using strong passwords or public key authentication (right?). Sometimes it's not a matter of price. If you're travelin

It's an average. You can average zero in with 140 and still have a higher average than the average of 90 and 40. And what do you expect if you don't average in the zero?

It's per 100,000 pregnancies , not 100,000 population. In any given year most of the population is not pregnant. The total hits "zero" because it's a small country with a low fertility rate.

If the US collects the data in a different way and then doesn't publish anything else, there is no other data available. All you can do is include a note that explains why the numbers aren't comparable.
