@windlessuser Nope haha! Tbh I manage quite some servers and have shitloads of terminals open so it happens sometimes but never like this :P
-
@linuxxx it became so much of a problem - among other things - that I now preach immutable servers!
-
@configurator Just rebuild it through a control panel so I can't do much else than logging in as root xD
-
@Linux Yeah but that IP was not correct for either session :)
-
-
@Linux I'm not using it currently but yeah wanna do! Just not sure how I'd set that up with multiple vps's (or just at home)
-
@linuxxx Yeah I wanna try it at home too, Found some nice machines on aliexpress that I am going to buy for that purpose
-
@Linux Missed the vpn part haha. Yup I'm full-time on vpn!

@linuxxx
I understand your rant more then :D -
@xsacha because logging in as root is a good way to do bad things accidentally. I don't allow root login ever for servers I manage, so you can only do anything via sudo.
Another dev on my team just got a new machine. Before he came in today I made two separate USB installers and ...
*SSH's into VPS*
*Starts doing some general maintainance (updating, checking the logs etc)*
*runs the who command for fun*
*NOTICES THAT THERE"S ANOTHER ACTIVE SESSION*
*FURIOUSLY STARTS TO TRY AND LOOK HOW THAT USER MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN IN (root)*
*Goes one terminal to the left after a few minutes to see if I can use that one as well*
*notices an active and forgotten SSH session to that VPS*
I am stupid.
