Especially server accessible only by SSH…

I can’t be bothered to walk down to the basement, so practically my server is also only accessible by SSH

Especially after age 40 and a knee surgery… I’m tired boss! 😩

I’m 150+km away from my server, with literally everything on it lol

I’m at college right now, which is a 3 hour drive away from my home, where a server of mine is. I just have to ask my parents to turn it back on when the power goes out or it gets borked. I access it solely through RustDesk and Cloudflare Tunnels SSH (it’s actually pretty cool, they have a web interface for it).

I have no car, so there’s really no way to access it in case something catastrophic happens. I have to rely on hopes, prayers, and the power of a probably outdated Pop!_OS install. Totally doesn’t stress me out I’ll just say I like to live on the edge :^)

Currently the server(s) are in my room, which is so messy my dad probably wouldn’t even enter it voluntarily. And in the case grub/fstab/crypttab/etc. are messed up, which is probably the most common error, he probably couldn’t solve it by himself. Soon everything’s gonna live in its own little room in the basement, so it’s gonna be accessible easier actually.

Setup a pikvm as ipmi and you’ll have at least another layer of failure required to completely lose connectivity

In the old days some of the servers took at hour to reboot. That was stressful when you couldn’t ping it at an hour.

NocturnalMorning ,

Don’t say stuff like that. You’re gonna give me a heart attack.

The more disk you had, the longer it took. It walked the scsi bus which took forever. So if you had more disk. It took even longer.

Since everything was remote, you’d have to call hands and they weren’t technical. Also no cameras since it was the 90’s.

Now when I restart a vm or container. I panic if it’s not back up in 10 minutes.

NocturnalMorning ,

I get annoyed if my pc isn’t restarted in 30 seconds now.

wintermute_oregon ,

I think mine takes like 2 minutes. It’s ten years old. I’ve putting off upgrading to the cost of videos cards

I got an M.2 drive last year after having a motherboard capable of it for 3-4 years, and naturally named it “Plash Speed”.

CanadaPlus ,

Why would you design a disk driver that way?

wintermute_oregon ,

It isn’t a disk driver since the OS is not loaded yet. It is the hardware identifying each disk in the SCSI chain. Not sure what else it was doing walking the bus much I know finding all the disk was the longest part.

I like how posting got fairly fast. Then we started putting absurd amounts of ram into servers so now they’re back to slow.

Like we have a high clock speed dual 32 core AMD server with 1TB of ram that takes at least 5 minutes to do it’s RAM check. So every time you need to reboot you’re just sitting there twiddling your thumbs waiting anxiously.

wintermute_oregon ,

I will date myself. These machines had a lot of memory as well which added to the slow reboot. I think it was 16 gigs.

The r series for IBM took forever. The p series was faster but was still slow

....... and you're updating it remotely

30p87 ,

And then you wonder if you typed reboot or poweroff

(Or 6/0 for the debian people)

WagnasT ,

when it was the wrong server and you’re hoping it comes back up before 5 minutes and nagios starts sending alerts

If a tree falls in the woods…

I install molly-guard on important machines for this reason. So fast to do a reboot on the wrong ssh session

Just had to restart our main MySQL instance today. Had to do it at 6am since that’s the lowest traffic point, and boy howdy this resonates.

2 solid minutes of the stack throwing 500 errors until the db was back up.

xmunk ,

If you have the bandwidth… it is absolutely worth it to invest in a maintenance mode for your system, just check some flat file on disk for a flag before loading up a router or anything and then, if it’s engaged, just send back a static html file with ye olde “under construction” picture.

dondelelcaro ,

Bonus points if your static site sends a 503 with a retry after header.

I have more than once typed shutdown instead of reboot when working on a remote machine… always fun

Make an alias for Ehen you type shutdown it dies restart and if you want to shutdown make an alias that goes like

I work with IBM i/AS400 servers and those are not exactly the quickest thing to “reboot” (technically an IPL). Especially the old ones. I have access to the HMC/console but even this sometimes takes several minutes (if not dozens) just to show what’s going on.

It’s always a bit stressful to see the codes passing one after the other and then it stops on one and seems to get stuck there for a while before continuing the IPL process. Maybe it’s applying PTFs (updates) or something, and you just have to wait while even the console is blank.

I’ve been monitoring those servers for years and I’m still sometimes wondering if it hanged during the IPL or if it’s just doing its thing, because this part, even with codes, is not very verbose.

Fortunately it’s also very stable so it pretty much always comes back a few minutes after you start wondering why the hell it’s taking so long.

Dell PowerEdge R620, I’m talking to you.

That’s why you connect an arduino to the motherboards reset pin and load it with a program where it resets the system if it doesn’t receive an ACK signal over the usb connection every 10 minutes.

Eventually though the networking and apache stops working after around 150 days so you also have to make a script that resets the system after 30 minutes of not having network.
