Using a text editor and command line does not mean no debuggers - it just means switching a window to get to one. vim+tmux+gdb/pdb.

Yep, the most common way I've lost access to machines is by messing up the iptables/ipfw rules. Read a post here about avoiding that by having a timed reset with sleep.
