No joke, I thought for a second you were referring to Infinite Solutions and were trolling hardcore. I haven’t thought about that in a long time.

One of my home servers was popped once, they stuck a new MOTD on there to let me know how foolish I was and I haven’t made that mistake since. So… yay greyhat?

For Chiefly reasons of course. Now whether or not that server is active in the cluster is another matter entirely, but hey if it makes him/her feel important /shrug

Figure ~45 minutes to run to the liquor store for a decent single malt, another ~25 minutes for the pizza rolls, quick power nap, wake up and redeploy. That’s about 2 hours.

Unix is the kind of friend who won’t bat an eye about holding your beer while you go and do something incredibly stupid

Should have paid for upgrade to a 10/8

Some questions come to mind:

1. Do you have a static IP address from your ISP?

2. Dynamic DNS?

3. Have you verified the listening service is a box you own?

4. Is there a reverse proxy set up?

5. Checked the edge router logs to see if it rebooted recently and reloaded firewall rules?

6. What else sits between your router and the listening server?

This could be any number of things, maybe this will help point you in the right direction.

For me it’s not about the traffic, more the log spam.

Generally I’ll have :22 enabled internally, and anything non-standard is defined in ~/.ssh/config and shared out so I don’t have to remember things.
