MODERATORS
Admin is out of their area due to work and the firewall server or something died completely preventing them from remotely accessing anything to bring it back up and also preventing using their backup (per a post I read a few hours ago).
Ahhh, that sounds like a frustrating issue, I hope they're able to get it resolved before too long
Thank you for filling me in! :)
Apparently gonna be a couple weeks :(
Well shit... Glad I'm on 3 different instances
Literally came here looking for this thanks!
Too bad there aren't servers that come with mechanical arms that you can remotely control.
There used to be...
I have seen servers with optical drives rigged to press the power button of another server when the drive ejects it's tray.
Just SSH into it and run the eject command, wait a few min, run it again, then run it twice again.
This would make it hold the button to power it off, release the button, and push it quickly again to power up the machine.
Note that you need the old desktop style of optical drive with a powered tray for this to work

That's simultaneously janky and genius. I love it.
Hmm, that would really send a message to all my enemies...
Is that what they were "jousting" with at the beginning of the movie "Hackers?"
I don't remember the scene, so I can't say.
Love the movie though!
Hack the planet!
I have great news for you, because that absolutely exists :)
Patch robot at DE-CIX (The largest european IXP) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GKaPKRggBM
Skip to 53 seconds to see it in action
With this you can physically reroute to another connection or server if something dies.
Until the robot itself burns out and is unresponsive as well 😅
That's okay, they have a robot to do maintenance on the robot.
I would hope not. If that thing burns, then a large portion of Europe's internet comes crashing down.
Remote hands are extra.
Is IPMI/iLO/IDRAC close enough?
