So… did I actually get through all the things I planned last week? Honestly? Kind of — and then early Thursday morning… boom. Out of nowhere, another server went down. This time, I hadn’t even touched it. That’s the part that really stings.
This is exactly why I host my own infrastructure now. I’m just so tired of relying on people who clearly don’t have the technical skills to handle things properly. The server completely stopped responding via terminal. I tried everything — rebooting, rescue mode, you name it. Nothing. I figured maybe it was just maintenance, so I opened a support ticket.
Their response?
“You can unlock your port 22 this way…”
Really? How am I supposed to unlock port 22 when I can’t even access the terminal? Absolute madness. That kind of answer just fuels the frustration. It’s been years of this — and every time something like this happens, it reinforces why I do what I do. If they can’t fix it properly, I’ll do it myself to the best of my ability.
