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.

Doing this is a right of passage.

Believe it or not, "rite" is the, uh, right, word here.

[–] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 4 points 4 months ago

Messing up the spelling is a wrong of passage.

Almost the same thing happened to me. I accidentally fucked up the internet connection in my home while in Japan, and I had to video call my mom to have her fix it. It was a pain for both of us, but thankfully it went rather smoothly. Thank you mom!

Do you mind explaining the details? I’m trying to learn as much as possible!

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.

[–] piefood@feddit.online 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Before you make a change, do this in a screen-session:

sleep 300 && iptables-restore old_fw_rules.bak

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah except it would be iptables-restore < old_fw_rules.bak

[–] piefood@feddit.online 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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!

That the slrpnk.net admins in the picture?

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They had a hardware failure but close enough

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Would misusing the dd command be considered a hardware failure?

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Yup, that's a bug in the chair-keyboard interface.

Real servers have lights out management and management networks.

I'd rather plug in a screen with VGA than deal with HPE iLO 4

[–] NeilBru@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Networking noob here; what, pray tell, is HPE iLO4... or do I want to even know?

Edit: Never mind. Found it. HP... shudders

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

“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

This is precisely the problem that deploy-rs solves!

[–] somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

why is everything in rust now

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's easy to write, easy to build, produces lightweight and fast executables, and the type system is great. Why not rust?

[–] UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Rust does not have an ABI. Everything is linked into the executables. I would not call them lightweight.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh, so it's inconvenient for GPL-circumventers, too? That just sounds better and better.

[–] UpperBroccoli@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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?
