I love how on point this comment is from someone who’s not been following the bed shitting lol

Avoid Bambu 3D Printers!

Where would you host the script? If it’s expected that the server that fires it off is always online and performing health checks, why not have it host a load-balancer? Or another local instance of the website? It’s something fun to play around with, but if this is for anything beyond a fun exercise there are much better ways to accomplish this.

If you don’t want to mess with another VPS you can use a global server load balancer (GSLB) provider like Akamai, Cloudflare, Azure, etc.

This being a self-host community though it’s unlikely you’d want to pursue something like this, but without knowing more about your specific use case it’s tough to make a recommendation.

If global high-availability is your primary goal then a hosted solution is probably best.

If this is just an exercise you and your friend are working on for giggles and it’s not for a mission-critical Production instance, then presumably self-hosting a load-balancer on each of your servers that includes both nodes in a target group would achieve this, though somewhat counterintuitive; if the website goes down at either location, I would imagine there’s a pretty high likelihood the LB itself would be down as well.

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.

Make sure you back up all email and IM communications and don’t rely exclusively on server-side retention (provided your DLP policy allows for this.)

If it ever comes down to it and you are facing the possibility of being the scapegoat for a security incident, your attorney can review the relevant policy and determine whether or not and when you can use these to demonstrate that you communicated your concerns to management and stakeholders.

Depending on who you reached out to and who was included, absence of a response to your various methods of communication can be used to establish acceptance of risk by leadership.

My sex toy goes to a different school

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

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.
