About 15 years ago, when ssh-ing into servers was quite normal.
In eterm on my gentoo linux laptop with enlightenment desktop I typed:
su -
shutdown -h now
Because I was tired and I wanted to go to bed. Came back after brushing my teeth. F### laptops and linux! Screen still on. The thing didn’t shutdown!
Strange thing was: in the terminal something said it got a shutdown signal.
Then I realized I shutdown a remote server for a forum with 200k members.
It was on the server of an isp employee, which happened to be member of that site. All for free, so no remote support and no kvm switches. Went to bed and took a train next day early morning to fix it.
Managed stuff like AWS fargate and ECS is what I want to use at work. ATM I've got an ec2 server instance with SSM taking care of it, I don't have to shell in too often.
