I accidentally nuked my hosted server's network stack with a config error... my bigger mistake was generating a massive random password for the root account... the remote terminal management console didn't support pasting and the default config only gave you like 30s to login.... not fun at all. Script all the things. double-check your scripts... always be backing up. | ||

> the remote terminal management console didn't support pasting and the default config only gave you like 30s to login I would have used AutoHotkey or something similar in such a scenario. | ||

Also a gentle reminder that backups without periodic drills are just binary blobs. I had an instance where for some reason my Borg backups where corrupted. Only caught them with periodic drills. | ||
