This is a joke, I didn’t really lock myself out
even worse. I regularly have to get up out of my chair and go down 2 stairs.
Also this took a while to find, but : https://sourceforge.net/p/shorewall/svn/HEAD/tree/branches/4.2/Samples/one-interface/shorewall.conf
ADMINISABSENTMINDED=YesIs an actual setting in the config for the (now apparently unmaintained) Shorewall Firewall software/tool for linux.
If I remember correctly, it always checks on firewall rule changes if there is an active connection on port 22, and adds a special rule at the end to maintain that connection.
They don’t build them like they used to anymore.
Happened to me once. Had a little Pi at my parent’s house and that was a nice excuse to visit them.
Except when you get there and don’t want to talk or do all the meeting and greeting until you know the server still works.
This is precisely the problem that deploy-rs solves!
why is everything in rust now
It’s easy to write, easy to build, produces lightweight and fast executables, and the type system is great. Why not rust?
Rust does not have an ABI. Everything is linked into the executables. I would not call them lightweight.
A standard Docker container with a NodeJS/PHP/Python app is usually around 200-300 MB (yes really), the OpenJDK JVM is around a hundred MB, but a fully statically compiled rust binary that doesn’t even depend on libc is just a couple MB and can be deployed as a tiny distroless Docker container.
It’s a lot heavier than your 8kb C++ executable but it’s nothing compared to what is required to deploy anything else.
Oh, so it’s inconvenient for GPL-circumventers, too? That just sounds better and better.
To me, it is mostly a real blocker for using it in some embedded Linux devices due to size constraints, otherwise I personally would be using it extensively.
I’m having a hard time imagining this Goldilocks embedded device that is simultaneously big enough to run Linux (so not an actual microcontroller), yet too small for a few megabytes worth of statically-linked libraries. Got an example?
That the slrpnk.net admins in the picture?
They had a hardware failure but close enough
Would misusing the
ddcommand be considered a hardware failure?Yup, that’s a bug in the chair-keyboard interface.
Doing this is a right of passage.
Believe it or not, “rite” is the, uh, right, word here.
Messing up the spelling is a wrong of passage.
Real servers have lights out management and management networks.
I’d rather plug in a screen with VGA than deal with HPE iLO 4
“In December 2021 Iranian researchers at Amnpardaz security firm have discovered rootkits in HPE’s iLO (Integrated Lights-Out) management modules.”
Because of course lol
Before you make a change, do this in a screen-session:
sleep 300 && iptables-restore old_fw_rules.bak
Yeah except it would be iptables-restore < old_fw_rules.bak
Fun fact: When you do iptables-save, you have to redirect the output if you want to save it to a file. But when you use iptables-restore, you don’t need to pipe it back in, you can just use the filename!
Don’t practically all commercial hosting providers provide remote console access?
This seems a combo of an extremely newb mistake in an extremely unusual scenario - worthy of Gru I guess.
Physical, on premises servers are still a thing.
