me remembering I caused an outage yesterday by deleting nginx config 🤦♂️
I once set up vpn on a remote system via ssh, and then wondered for a split second why my connection went down when the remote machine switched to being connected to the internet via the vpn.
That one was fun to recover from.
Oh man, back when I was a network tech, I did something similar to a remote site's router. My dumbass forgot to set the reboot after 15 minutes command as a failsafe (it reboots the device without saving in case your config kicks you out and you're unable to remote back in due to a config change). Yep... Had to drive 6 hours round trip to fix that fuck up as it was an unmanned site.
my worst nightmare
I'm sure we could beat that.
lol. The “Drive of Shame”
Back in the day, Foundry Edge switches had a one command to set the vlans on a trunk interface and separate command to ADD a vlan to that trunk interface.
It was a rite of passage to drive to the customer site and reboot the chassis to get management access back.
Me enabling the firewall on a VPS but not the SSH port.
I've done the exact same thing from another country >1000 miles away, I was glad that I lived with my parents at that time and I just asked them to restart the PC
