What is a KVM? I’m not familiar with the term. I just meant that you aren’t able to SSH into the machine or something? But I guess if it’s turned off and physically unavailable, that’s hard.
A KVM is basically a second computer that acts as a virtual screen and keyboard that can be connected to the server to remote control it as if you were physically in front of it, including hardware resets and access to the bios etc.
You’re not accidentally on a work trip in Asia? I ask for a friend.
It is a work trip to the middle east. I am unlucky with work trips and server maintenance 😓
Do you not have a way of remotely bringing the server back up?
I bought a KVM for that purpose, but didn’t get around installing it.
The other person able to do it manually will be available the same time as me more or less so I don’t want to bother them.

I feel like I just missed the boat on this joke
The former admin of feddit.de was on a work trip in Asia when feddit.de went down. The instance never recovered.
Did he just not want to bring it back up when he returned?
No one knows 🤷
Next up on locked up abroad…
