I'll only do it if things go for the worst and I've allready setup a
simple one-time-password mechanism which allthough it can't deter a
determined hacker it is more than enough to deter automated attacks:

I've setup a temporary user account to the one and only server I will
be directly SSHing. I will delete the account as soon as I am back.
Also the login shell for this account is a simple python program that
implements my childish one-time-password mechanism. After three
consequent failed attempts from the same IP the program kills the
account. ... I think this is good enough. Good enough in the sense
that "they're probably gonna get me anyway some day but it wont be
easy :)".
