About 15 years ago, when ssh-ing into servers was quite normal.
In eterm on my gentoo linux laptop with enlightenment desktop I typed:
su -
shutdown -h now
Because I was tired and I wanted to go to bed. Came back after brushing my teeth. F### laptops and linux! Screen still on. The thing didn’t shutdown!
Strange thing was: in the terminal something said it got a shutdown signal.
Then I realized I shutdown a remote server for a forum with 200k members.
It was on the server of an isp employee, which happened to be member of that site. All for free, so no remote support and no kvm switches. Went to bed and took a train next day early morning to fix it.
- angrais 5y agoIs SSHing no longer normal? What do the cool cats do these days to manage their servers? I use K8s and docker to run software on my server, but initiate these via SSH. I suppose CI is perhaps modern approach or what else is everyone using?

- BozeWolf 5y agoWith sshing i meant: ssh to server, install software and configure server. No docker, no ansible, nothing of that.
